I used Paste on macOS for years. After switching to Windows, Win+V felt limited (25 items, no search, cleared after reboot). Ditto works, but the UX feels dated. So I built my own.

Beetroot is a local-first clipboard manager built with Tauri v2 (Rust backend + React frontend). No cloud, no account, no telemetry.

Highlights:

AI text transforms (grammar fix, translate, summarize; supports custom prompts). BYOK with your OpenAI key

OCR using the native Windows engine (right-click a screenshot → extract text)

Fuzzy + regex search across full clipboard history

Proper non-QWERTY support (AZERTY, QWERTZ, AltGr) with instant layout detection

Free for personal and commercial use.

Happy to answer technical questions.
