Capture Clipboard Snippets & Images
Formatted Directly to Markdown
fancycopy is a lightweight, cross-platform floating GUI toolbar for Windows and Linux. It monitors your clipboard in real time, auto-detects code syntax, captures images, deduplicates clips, and logs formatted entries into clean Markdown documents.
Designed for Developer Speed
Everything you need to automate clipboard notes and documentation.
Smart Language Detection
Powered by Pygments heuristics to automatically recognize Python, JS, TS, HTML, CSS, JSON, SQL, Rust, Go, C++, Shell, and format syntax fences.
Image Clipboard & Preview
Automatically saves copied screenshots and browser images into an assets/ folder and appends
inline Markdown preview tags.
Deduplication Engine
Filters out empty copies, consecutive re-copies, and session duplicate clips to keep your markdown log concise and noise-free.
Compact Floating Toolbar
Sleek dark GUI bar (#000000) designed to sit flush right above your OS taskbar with icon-only
controls for zero distraction.
Position Memory
Drag the toolbar anywhere across multi-monitor setups. fancycopy remembers your exact screen coordinates on every launch.
UTF-8 Clean Logging
Writes logs with UTF-8 BOM (utf-8-sig) and sanitizes null bytes, ensuring flawless
compatibility with Windows Notepad and Markdown editors.

Simply copy text, code, or screenshots while coding or researching. fancycopy automatically appends clean
timestamps and formatting into your target clipboard_history.md file.
