I use ClipIt is a Parcelite fork with Ubuntu menu integration.

sudo apt-get install clipit

It works on both, GNOME 3 and Unity.


Glipper was a clipboard manager, it was removed from Ubuntu and Debian in 2018.

For *buntu 20.04 several options are available:

  • qlipper
  • clipit
  • copyq
  • diodon
  • parcellite

You can try Keepboard. It is easy to use and seems to be stable and reliable.
