What it does

Three arts, one extension

Clipboard History

Every text you copy, kept. Search, pin, tag, edit, and export items. Survives screen lock, Shell restarts, and logouts.

🪄

Spells

Select a clipboard item, cast a spell, get the transformed result as a new entry. The original is never touched.
