ClipDock

ClipDock is a tiny cross-platform clipboard manager built with a Rust + Tauri backend and a Svelte + Tailwind frontend.

Features

• Automatic history – a background thread watches the system clipboard and persists new text snippets to a SQLite database, keeping the list up to date without user interaction.
• Lightweight storage – only the newest 20 entries are retained; older clips are discarded to keep the database small. You can pin favorite clips so they remain at the top of the list.
• Fuzzy search palette – press a single hotkey to open an always-on-top palette where you can quickly search, select, or pin clips.
• Global shortcut – Ctrl+Shift+V toggles the palette from anywhere, making your clipboard history instantly accessible.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Rust (1.77 or newer)
• Node.js and pnpm
• The Tauri CLI for your platform

Development

pnpm install            # install frontend dependencies
cd src-tauri
cargo tauri dev         # run the app with live reload

Building

cd src-tauri
cargo tauri build       # create a release binary/installer

The build step compiles the Svelte app and bundles it with the Rust backend into a native executable.
