The record

Purpose: GPaste is a clipboard management system for GNOME with a daemon, a GTK 4 interface, a GNOME Shell extension and a command-line client.
Clipboard history: It keeps persistent history across sessions and supports multiple named histories that users can switch between, back up and delete independently.
Supported content: It stores plain text, rich text, HTML, images, URIs and colours; images are deduplicated by checksum.
Encryption: Optional libsodium-backed encryption protects history at rest, and the passphrase can optionally be kept in the keyring.
Storage: Storage options are an XML file, per-history SQLite databases, or no storage, and users can migrate between backends.
Password handling: Users can mark clipboard items as passwords so their contents are hidden from the history and clipboard access can expire after a timeout.
Search and editing: Users can search, merge and edit clipboard items from the graphical interface, GNOME Shell extension or CLI.
GNOME integration: The GNOME Shell extension can switch, create, empty, back up and delete histories from its menu.
Keyboard shortcuts: Global shortcuts use the XDG portal to work on Wayland and X11, and a preference can disable them all.
Distribution: Installation instructions cover Fedora, Arch Linux, Debian and Ubuntu, openSUSE, other distributions and building from source.
Compatibility limits: The current GTK advertises the password marker on X11 but cannot serve its value, so other clipboard managers may not recognize GPaste passwords there.
Support and contributions: The maintainer welcomes bug reports and patches, accepts translations through Weblate, and offers GitHub Sponsors and PayPal as ways to support development.
Release target: GPaste 51.0 is the first stable GPaste 51 release and targets GNOME 51.
