Table of contents
About
For those who frequently read and take notes, a productivity-boosting tool is essential.
To simplify clipboard content management, I created a simple app called clipboard-tracker.
Instead of copying the content, opening a text editor, and pasting it there, you can use the clipboard-tracker to save the clipboard content to a file with a single command.
You hit Ctrl+C and the content is saved to a file.

Tracking the clipboard text content
Using the clipboard-tracker is very straightforward.
When you run the clipboard-tracker, it saves the clipboard content to a file.
You only need to specify the file where the clipboard content will be saved.
To run the clipboard-tracker, you can use the following command:
clipboard-tracker <filename>
In this way, the clipboard content will be saved to the specified <filename>.
Tracking the clipboard image content
Additionally, the clipboard-tracker can track image content from the clipboard.
When an image is copied to the clipboard, the clipboard-tracker saves it to a file.
Before that the clipboard-tracker creates folder images next to the
file where the clipboard content is saved.
Once the image is saved, the clipboard-tracker stores the path to the image file
to the clipboard content file in a markdown format.
Installation
To install the clipboard-tracker, you can use the following command:
wget https://github.com/obaranovskyi/clipboard-tracker/raw/main/dist/clipboard-tracker -O ~/.local/bin/clipboard-tracker && chmod +x ~/.local/bin/clipboard-tracker
