oioi

What is oioi?

oioi is a free and open-source clipboard manager that lives quietly in your menu bar and surfaces your entire copy history with a single keystroke. Press ⌥V and a beautiful liquid-glass panel floats up over any app, showing everything you've copied — text, images, and files — all searchable and ready to paste back with one click. It runs natively on macOS, Windows, and Linux.

Who it's for

• Power users who copy dozens of items daily and need instant access to their full clipboard history without digging through apps
• Designers and content creators who frequently work with images and mixed media, and want thumbnails and type-based filtering at their fingertips
• Privacy-conscious professionals who refuse to let clipboard data touch the cloud and need a tool that keeps everything local, with no accounts or telemetry

Key features

Text, images & files, all searchable

oioi captures everything you copy and presents it in a unified, searchable history. You can filter by type — text, images, or files — and browse by today or all-time. Every item is thumbnailed so you can spot what you need at a glance.

Instant by design

The panel is pre-warmed and renders a low-resolution preview first, so the moment you hit ⌥V your history is already on screen. There's no loading spinner, no delay — just your clipboard, ready.

Private by default

Your clipboard history lives exclusively on your machine. There is no cloud sync, no account creation, and no telemetry. Nothing leaves your device, ever.

Glass or Soft appearance

You can choose between a frosted liquid-glass panel or a clean flat design, then fine-tune the blur level and corner radius. Set your own global shortcut to summon it from anywhere.

What stands out

"Press ⌥V and your whole history floats up — text, images and files, searchable, one click to paste back."

This one-liner captures oioi's core magic: it turns a mundane utility into something that feels almost invisible. The combination of instant summoning, cross-platform native builds, and a genuinely beautiful interface makes it stand out from utilitarian clipboard managers. It's also fully MIT-licensed, so every line of code is on GitHub to inspect, fork, or contribute to.
