Ask HN: Looking for clipboard app that saves all clips forever and has search
Is there an application (open source or commercial) that will save whatever I copy to the clipboard in a permanent store and then enable me to search items based on keywords. A simple implementation could be it dumps each item in a directory in a file. The file name could be based on the timestamp of when the copy happened. Image search might be harder. But at least for text the search should be straightforward. How hard would it be to write such an application? Basically you just need a way to dump each clip event to trigger generating a timestamp, and then saving it to a (configurable) location. Why this application should exist. This would save me and many other people working in our times so much time. Instead of looking for things I saw a few days I could always search through my infinite clipboard. I see some clipboard apps. What they lack is easy searchability. If something like this exists please share. 0 comments on Hacker News.
