Clipboard history managers
This cluster consists of clipboard managers that maintain a history of copied items for later retrieval. The dated entries before the index start appear sporadically from 2010 to 2026, with a concentration in 2025-2026. Traction is led by nexus-clipboard with 39 stars, far ahead of Cobu (7 stars) and clipboard-manager (3 stars).
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
