Copyber is a modern clipboard manager designed for people who work across tools, platforms, and tabs all day long. Whether you're a developer, designer, writer, marketer, or just someone who copies a lot of stuff. Copyber helps you keep everything organized, accessible, and ready to use.Built for desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux), Copyber offers a fast, clean, and privacy-first experience — no account required.<h3>⚡ Why Copyber?</h3>Let’s face it, most clipboard managers feel like relics. Outdated design, clunky interfaces, unreliable syncing, or bloated with features you don’t need. Copyber was built out of frustration with that experience.It's a utility app that focuses on what actually matters:<ul><li>Keeping a searchable history of what you copied</li><li>Helping you organize it with context-aware features</li><li>Working fast and clean, without needing an account</li><li>Staying local-first for privacy and performance</li></ul><h3>🔑 Key Features</h3><ul><li>Instant Search Search your clipboard history in milliseconds. Full-text search with filters, tags, and smart sorting.</li><li>Spaces (Coming Soon) Organize your clipboard into contextual "Spaces" — personal, work, project-based — so you can quickly access only what matters right now.</li><li>Smart Previews See rich previews for URLs, files, images, and structured text. No need to open tabs or guess from filenames.</li><li>Visual Recognition Automatically detects content types like links, code snippets, file paths, emails, and more.</li><li>Local-First by Default All core functionality works without an account. No cloud dependency unless you want it.</li><li>AI-Powered Workflows (Coming Soon) Copyber is built to evolve into a real productivity assistant. By passively organizing your clipboard, it prepares rich data for on-demand AI use — imagine asking, "Summarize my research," and Copyber knows exactly what you mean.</li><li>Secure Sync (Coming Soon) Future versions will support cross-device sync with full end-to-end encryption. You’ll be able to copy on one device and paste on another — without compromising privacy.</li></ul><h3>💻 Built With</h3>Copyber is built using .NET with Avalonia UI for full cross-platform native performance. It’s designed to feel like a true desktop app, not a clunky wrapper. The backend is modular and built with extensibility and AI integration in mind.<h3>🔒 Privacy-First, By Design</h3>Copyber stores your clipboard locally. Nothing is sent to a server unless you explicitly opt into future sync features. Even then, your data will be encrypted end-to-end.This makes Copyber ideal for developers, writers, designers, and anyone working with sensitive or high-value data. It's the clipboard manager you can trust to stay out of your way — until you need it.<h3>🚀 Roadmap Highlights</h3>✅ Core features: history, search, labeling 🔜 Spaces for better organization 🔜 AI for contextual automation 🔜 Secure cross-device sync 🔜 Plugins and API integrations<h3>🌐 Use Cases</h3><ul><li>Quickly find that SQL query or regex pattern you copied 4 hours ago</li><li>Save code snippets or templates you reuse often</li><li>Organize research into Spaces and come back to it anytime</li><li>Use it as a staging tool for posting, emailing, or summarizing</li><li>Later: Connect Copyber with your AI assistant for instant context-driven output</li></ul><h3>💬 Why I Built It</h3>Like many developers, I switch between macOS and Windows regularly. And I was shocked how hard it was to find a clipboard manager that looked good, worked consistently, and respected my data — especially across devices.So I built Copyber out of necessity. But as I developed it, I realized the clipboard is one of the most overlooked UX touchpoints in modern computing. It sits at the center of almost everything — writing, coding, designing, researching — yet it's still treated like a single-slot memory buffer.Copyber is my attempt to modernize that layer and make it actually helpful.<h3>🧠 A Sneak Peek at the AI Layer</h3>Most AI tools require you to “feed” them information first. But Copyber already has your recent knowledge — links, notes, questions, ideas — passively captured as you work.In the future, this will unlock workflows like:<ul><li>"Summarize everything I copied today"</li><li>"Generate an email reply based on this draft + link"</li><li>"Group everything related to project X and turn it into a doc"</li></ul>No prompting, no searching — just intelligent, context-aware utility.<h3>🎯 Who Copyber Is For</h3><ul><li>Developers who live inside terminals, editors, and browsers</li><li>Writers or researchers constantly gathering content</li><li>Productivity nerds with 20+ open tabs</li><li>Anyone tired of copying something useful… and losing it five minutes later</li></ul>
