Shelf is a lightweight, cross-platform clipboard history manager. It runs quietly in the background, capturing every text snippet and image you copy — so you can search, preview, and paste them back anytime.
Quiet by default, powerful when you need it. Shelf stays out of your way until the moment you reach for something you copied an hour ago.
Every text snippet and image you copy is saved in the background — no extra step, no manual "add to history".
Fuzzy, real-time filtering across your entire clipboard history. Find that link or snippet in a keystroke.
Thumbnails in the list; click to view the full-size original. Perfect for screenshots and diagrams.
Re-copying the same content refreshes its position instead of stacking duplicates. Your history stays clean.
Pin what matters. Favorites are never touched by automatic cleanup, so your go-to snippets stick around.
Your history lives only on your machine. Nothing is uploaded — ever. Older entries auto-prune to save space.
Summon the panel from anywhere, navigate without touching the mouse, and paste straight back into the window you were using.
Native builds for both major desktops, with the same fast experience on each.
Resides in the menu bar. Accessibility permission enables direct paste-back.
Runs from the system tray. Launch-at-login is registered by the installer.
Free and open-source. Grab the build for your system and your clipboard history is one shortcut away.
