Clear clipboard after a certain amount of time

Open moshiur-raj opened this issue 2 years ago • 9 comments

Sometimes clipboards can store sensitive information. Can you add an option for settings a timer for clearing the clipboard?

Perhaps a hotkey for clearing history as well.

Seconded - clearing after a set period of time will be great.

Thank you for the suggestion. I will add it in future releases.

I have added a session-only mode, which clears history on logout/reboot/shutdown. There is also a new incognito mode you can use.

@oae Thank you for adding a session only mode and an incognito mode.

I mostly use bitwarden through the browser extension and sometimes I need to copy my passwords. Pano cannot detect this. So I think adding a timer will be helpful.

How should this timer work? Can you give some detail on this?

Maybe something like what copyq does. image

You can add an option for settings a timer. After a certain time items will be removed. Pano already tracks time for clipboard content.

Ok. I will work on this.
