Install with one command via Homebrew (macOS) or PowerShell (Windows), and screenshot paste just works — in Ghostty, Alacritty, iTerm2, Kitty, WezTerm, and more. It also bridges your clipboard to remote servers over SSH and to WSL2 environments. Written in Rust, clipaste uses only 9 MB of RAM with 0% CPU overhead. Problem: You take a screenshot, switch to Claude Code / Codex / Cursor in your terminal, press Ctrl+V — nothing happens. Or you're SSH'd into a remote server and can't paste screenshots at all. Why: macOS screenshots only put raw image data (TIFF/PNG) on the clipboard. Terminals like Ghostty and Alacritty can only Cmd+V paste text or file URLs — they can't paste raw image data. Over SSH, the remote server has no access to your local clipboard whatsoever. Solution: clipaste is a tiny background daemon (9 MB RAM, 0% CPU) that: 1. Local paste: Saves screenshots as temp PNG files and registers the file path on the clipboard, so Cmd+V works in terminals. Also adds the legacy PNGf type so Ctrl+V image paste works too. 2. SSH remote paste: Runs an HTTP server on localhost:18340 . Use clipaste ssh-setup to configure a remote server — it installs an xclip shim and SSH tunnel so Ctrl+V in remote Claude Code f","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/hqhq1025","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/hqhq1025/clipaste/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
