I used Paste on macOS for years. After switching to Windows, Win+V felt limited (25 items, no search, cleared after reboot). Ditto works, but the UX feels dated. So I built my own.
Beetroot is a local-first clipboard manager built with Tauri v2 (Rust backend + React frontend). No cloud, no account, no telemetry.
Highlights:
AI text transforms (grammar fix, translate, summarize; supports custom prompts). BYOK with your OpenAI key
OCR using the native Windows engine (right-click a screenshot → extract text)
Fuzzy + regex search across full clipboard history
Proper non-QWERTY support (AZERTY, QWERTZ, AltGr) with instant layout detection
