Clipmonger is a cross-platform clipboard history manager written in Rust. It remembers everything you copy (text, images and file lists), opens a popup on a global hotkey and pastes the clip you pick straight into the window you came from. It runs on Windows 10/11, on macOS 10.15 and newer (Intel and Apple Silicon), and on Linux under X11 and Wayland, including GNOME Wayland through a bundled GNOME Shell extension.

Could you build this?
Partial The clipboard history UI and global hotkey are vibe-codeable in Rust. Reliable cross-platform behavior, such as pasting into the previous window and handling macOS permissions and code signing, requires native OS expertise.
What it would actually take: Build a Rust core with per-OS clipboard watchers (Win32, NSPasteboard, X11/Wayland), a global hotkey layer, and focus restoration before paste. The hard parts are OS-specific accessibility permissions, signing and notarization, and Wayland limitations. That calls for experience with native desktop platform APIs and distribution.
