Hey everyone! 👋 I built Clippy because I was frustrated with existing clipboard managers — either too bloated, too expensive, or sending my data to some cloud. I wanted something fast, local, and smart. What started as a simple clipboard history tool evolved into something much bigger. I added AI-powered transforms (summarize, translate, fix grammar, explain code) that work with Ollama locally — so you can have AI features without sending anything to the cloud. If you prefer, it also supports OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google Gemini. Some features I'm most proud of: Quick Preview overlay — hit a hotkey, press a number, and it pastes instantly Smart content detection that recognizes code, URLs, colors, and more Window capture and OCR built right in It's fully open source and free. No subscriptions, no telemetry, no hidden catches. The project is actively being developed and I'd love your input. Whether it's a feature idea, a bug report, or a PR — everything is welcome. I want to build this based on what people actually need. Would love to hear your thoughts! What features would you like to see next? 🚀
