clippy

clippy is an open-source clipboard utility for Windows. It works with clipboard content in several forms, including plain text, images, files, HTML, and RTF. This makes it relevant to workflows that move text, formatted content, visual material, or files through the Windows clipboard.

The supported content types allow clippy to handle both simple and formatted clipboard material. Plain text covers unformatted entries, while HTML and RTF represent content that includes formatting. Images and files extend its use to visual and file-based clipboard tasks.

clippy provides cloud synchronization through Google Drive. Encryption is included to protect clipboard data that is synchronized through that service. The open-source license is part of the product’s distribution model and identifies clippy as software whose source and licensing terms are available under an open-source arrangement.

In the MirrorNest catalog, clippy is listed for the Windows platform under System Tools. MirrorNest mirrors the official build directly onto its own storage rather than describing a separate repackaged edition. The mirrored build is scanned for malware before publication, giving Windows users a catalog copy of the official build with the stated open-source license.
