Features

🚀

Lightweight & Fast

Built with Rust for blazing fast performance and low memory usage.

🛡️

Secure by Default

Encryption at Rest (AES-256) ensures your clipboard history is unreadable without your local key.

👻

Privacy-First

Incognito Mode (Pause Monitoring) prevents sensitive data from ever being recorded.

🖥️

Modern UI

Clean, responsive interface built with Slint.

🔍

Full-Text Search

Instantly find any snippet you've copied.

⌨️

Keyboard Centric

Global hotkey (Ctrl+Shift+V default) to open the Quick Picker anywhere.

🔄

System Tray

Minimal tray icon for background operation and quick controls.

🐧

Linux Focused

Optimized for Linux environments (X11 & Wayland support via XDG Portal).

Privacy & Security

YankLog takes your privacy seriously:

• Local Only: Your data never leaves your machine.
• Encrypted Storage: The database is encrypted using SQLCipher. A unique key is generated on first run and stored with restricted permissions in your local data directory.
• Pause Monitoring: Toggle "Pause Monitoring" from the tray icon to temporarily stop recording clipboard activity (useful for password managers).
