Why Muzeï?

Copying the same content twice, losing an image you needed, or digging through several windows for a previous value should not interrupt your workflow. Muzeï keeps a searchable history one keyboard shortcut away while remaining lightweight and discreet in the system tray.

Your clipboard history is stored locally in SQLite. There is no account and no cloud synchronization.
