Getting started
with Superclip

Download the build for your platform from the latest release, then run the installer.

• Windows — .exe installer or .msi package.
• macOS — .dmg for Apple Silicon or Intel.
• Linux — .deb, .rpm, .AppImage or .tar.gz.

Superclip starts in your system tray. There is no onboarding and no account step — it begins watching the clipboard right away.

Copy things as you normally would. Superclip records each copy automatically, skipping exact duplicates.

• Press Ctrl+Shift+V from any app to open your history.
• Type to search — matching is fuzzy, so partial words are fine.
• Use the arrow keys to move through results.
• Press Enter to paste into the app you came from.

History is written to a single JSON file in your operating system's application data directory. It never leaves your machine — the app makes no network calls.

• The most recent 100 items are kept; older entries drop off automatically.
• Pinned clips are exempt from the cap.
• Deleting the file, or uninstalling the app, removes the history entirely.

You need Rust and Bun installed.

git clone https://github.com/anyscapelabs/superclip.git
cd superclip
bun install
bun run tauri dev      # development
bun run tauri build    # release binary

The Rust backend handles the clipboard watcher and the history store; the frontend is React and Tailwind. Nothing else is required.

Check the FAQ first — it covers shortcut conflicts, terminal pasting and tray behaviour. If that does not solve it, open an issue with your platform and version. Pull requests are welcome; for anything beyond a small fix, open an issue first.
