Clipboard history and snippets for Windows and macOS, with end-to-end encrypted sync between them.
Kauri Clip keeps what you copy and the text you reuse, and pastes either from a menu that opens at a shortcut. It is a port of Clipy to Windows, and a fork of Clipy on macOS.
| Platform | Requirement | Download |
|---|---|---|
| Windows | Windows 10 or 11, x64 | Kauri.exe from the Kauri-win-x64 artifact of the windows workflow |
| macOS | macOS 13 or later | Kauri-macOS.zip from the Kauri-macOS artifact of the macos workflow |
Kauri.exe is one self-contained file. The macOS build is ad-hoc signed: open it the first time with right-click → Open, then allow it under Privacy & Security → Accessibility.
Copy two pieces of text, then press Ctrl+Shift+V on Windows or Shift+Cmd+V on a Mac. The menu opens with both items numbered; choose one and Kauri Clip pastes it.
To sync, run a kauri-sync server. Then choose Settings → Sync → Start Sync on one device and Join with a Pairing Code on the others.
