Clipboard Buddy
September 8, 2025 ยท View on GitHub
Clipboard Buddy (clipbud) is a cross platform utility that interacts with your system clipboard and augments it with AI capabilities. You can register a set of custom action prompts and recall them at any time on your clipboard contents using a custom global hotkey. The power of this mechanism is that it works with any application since it reads and writes directly from and to the system clipboard. Avoid repetitive copy/paste to and from your LLM!
Quick Start
If you have Cargo installed, you can:
cargo install --git https://github.com/evilsocket/clipbud.git
This will compile its sources and install the binary in $HOME/.cargo/bin/clipbud. You are now ready to go! ๐
# you can also set this via config file
export OPENAI_API_KEY=...
# default configuration loaded from ~/.clipbud/config.yml
clipbud
An example configuration file can be found in config.yml. For a list of all supported LLM providers refer to this page.
