Free & open source clipboard manager

The clipboard that reads between the lines.

Clipless quietly remembers everything you copy, then reads it — spotting emails, IPs, tickets and URLs and turning them into one-click actions.

Quick Clips

It reads what you copy.

The moment something useful lands in your clipboard, Clipless flags it. A scanner icon appears on the clip — open it to see every pattern it pulled out, ready to act on.

  • Automatic detection — emails, IPs, URLs, phone numbers, ticket IDs and your own custom regex
  • Pick exactly what you need — each extracted value is individually selectable
  • Named capture groups — build patterns once and reuse them across every clip

Tools Launcher

One copy. Every tool, open.

Send the data Clipless found straight into the web tools you already use. Select a few patterns, pick your tools, and launch them all at once — no retyping, no tab juggling.

  • Multi-token URLs — drop values into any link, e.g. tool.com/{ip}/{email}
  • Open in bulk — fire off several lookups simultaneously with one click
  • Templates & sharing — match templates automatically and export configs for your team

Light & Dark

Looks right, day or night.

Clipless follows your system theme out of the box and flips instantly when you switch — with smooth, considered transitions instead of a jarring flash. Prefer to set it yourself? One dropdown, done.

  • Matches your system — respects your OS light / dark preference automatically
  • Carefully tuned palettes — readable contrast and soft surfaces in both modes

Who it's for

Built for repetitive work — flexible for anything.

Clipless shines anywhere people copy the same kinds of data all day. But nothing about it is locked to one job — define your own patterns and tools, and it bends to whatever workflow you throw at it.

Call centre & support

Copy a customer email or account number and open it across your CRM, billing and knowledge-base tools in a single move.

Data entry & admin

Bridge legacy and modern systems — extract reference numbers, populate templates and process records in batches without retyping.

Security & research

Pull IPs, domains and hashes from any text and fan them out to VirusTotal, AbuseIPDB and the rest of your toolkit instantly.

…and whatever you do next.

Custom regex patterns, custom tools, custom templates — Clipless is a blank canvas with smart defaults. If you can describe the data and where it should go, you can wire it up. No use case is too niche.
