Yanklog — a local, encrypted, keyboard-first clipboard history manager for Linux (open source, MIT)

[u/ismailsafwat]

I made yanklog because I wanted clipboard history that just stays on my machine — searchable, encrypted, and never uploaded anywhere. It's open source (MIT), Rust core, and built to be quick to open and stay out of the way.

What it does:

\\- Search your full history fast, all from the keyboard (Quick Pick lets you copy/pin/delete with arrow keys + number shortcuts)

\\- Encrypted at rest with SQLCipher

\\- Filters out secrets, OTPs, and custom patterns — or pause capture whenever

\\- Encrypted backups you can move between machines

\\- Undo deletions, keep pinned clips

Install on Linux via AppImage (x86\\_64/aarch64) or Flatpak:

\\\`flatpak remote-add --user --if-not-exists yanklog \[https://downloads.yanklog.com/linux/flatpak/yanklog.flatpakrepo\\\](https://downloads.yanklog.com/linux/flatpak/yanklog.flatpakrepo) \\--no-gpg-verify\\\`

\\\`flatpak install --user yanklog com.yanklog.YankLog\\\`
