Built an open-source clipboard manager, now at 32 users

One thing that bothered me about many clipboard tools was how often clipboard history ends up synced or stored externally.

Clipboard data can contain:

- passwords

- API keys

- personal notes

- sensitive links

So I built ClipNext with a different approach.

Everything is stored locally using Chrome storage APIs.

No accounts.

No telemetry.

No sync.

No cloud.

Features:

- Clipboard history

- Image support

- Search

- Bulk copy

- Favorites

Open-source and MIT licensed.

Currently used by 32 users and still evolving.

Would appreciate feedback from people who care about privacy or use clipboard managers daily.

Built a local-first clipboard manager because most alternatives collect or sync data

Built an open-source clipboard manager, now at 32 users

Been building a Chrome extension called ClipNext.

The idea started from a small annoyance:

losing copied text constantly while switching between tabs and tools.

So I built something simple:

- Clipboard history for text and images

- Search

- Favorites

- Bulk select

- Smart notifications

- Local-only storage

Everything stays on-device.

No tracking, no cloud, no analytics.

It’s now at 32 users and I’m learning a lot about browser extensions, UX, and distribution along the way.

Would love honest feedback from other builders:

What would you improve or add in a clipboard tool?

I built a clipboard manager because I kept losing copied text and API keys

I kept running into the same issue while working:

Copy an API key, snippet, password, or link…

then copy something else and the first thing is gone.

The default clipboard just wasn't enough.

So I built ClipNext, an open-source clipboard manager for Chrome.

It:

- Saves clipboard history (text + images)

- Lets you search past copied items

- Supports bulk copy

- Allows pinning important snippets

- Stores everything locally

No cloud sync. No telemetry. No data collection.

Built on Manifest V3 using vanilla JS.

Currently at 32 users and still improving it based on feedback.

Would genuinely appreciate thoughts or feature ideas.

Building an open-source clipboard manager because I kept losing copied text

Been building a project called ClipNext over the last few weeks.

The original problem was simple:

I’d copy an API key, password, snippet, or link… then accidentally overwrite it by copying something else.

So I built a privacy-first clipboard manager for Chrome that stores clipboard history locally on-device.

Features so far:

- Text + image clipboard history

- Search across saved items

- Bulk copy multiple items

- Pin important snippets forever

- Smart notifications

- Auto cleanup for old items

Everything is stored locally using Chrome storage APIs.

No cloud sync, no telemetry, fully open-source.

Built with Manifest V3 + vanilla JS.

Would genuinely appreciate feedback from people building similar tools or using clipboard managers daily.

ClipNext — open-source clipboard manager for Chrome (local-first + privacy-focused)

Hi,

I recently built ClipNext, a clipboard manager extension for Chrome.

The goal was to create something lightweight and privacy-focused that works entirely locally without cloud sync or telemetry.

Current features:

- Clipboard history for text and images

- Search/filter support

- Favorites tier

- Bulk select and reuse

- Smart notifications

- Auto-delete for old items

Built using Manifest V3 with service workers/offscreen documents.

Would appreciate feedback from other extension developers or users, especially around:

- performance

- UX

- MV3 architecture decisions

- missing features

Hey,

I built ClipNext, an open-source clipboard manager for Chrome.

The main problem I kept running into was losing copied data - API keys, links, snippets - as soon as I copied something else. The default clipboard just isn’t enough when you’re working across tabs.

So I built something simple that:

- Saves everything you copy (text + images)

- Lets you search through clipboard history

- Supports bulk copy of multiple items

- Allows pinning important items so they never get deleted

Everything is stored locally using Chrome storage APIs.

No cloud sync, no tracking, no telemetry.

It’s built on Manifest V3 with a focus on being lightweight and fast.

Would appreciate any feedback, especially on performance, UX, or things you think are missing.
