Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to common questions about Klipr.
Yes. Klipr is 100% free and open source under the permissive MIT License. There are no paid tiers, subscriptions, hidden fees, upgrade prompts, or advertisements — ever.
Klipr runs on any modern Linux distribution with GTK4 and D-Bus support, including Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Arch Linux, and Linux Mint. It works seamlessly across GNOME, KDE Plasma, XFCE, Cinnamon, and MATE.
No. Klipr operates 100% offline by default. All text, code snippets, and image history are stored strictly on your local device in a local SQLite database with zero telemetry. The only exception is the optional AI OCR feature, which only calls out to your own configured Gemini/OpenAI API key — see the next question.
By default, Klipr stores your last 50 items. You can easily adjust this limit to 100 or 150 items in the Settings dialog to fit your workflow.
Never. Pinned favorites are stored separately and protected from automatic pruning. They remain safely pinned until you explicitly remove them.
Copied images and screenshots are saved as optimized PNG files in your local cache directory (~/.cache/klipr/images/) with instant thumbnail previews. Deduplication ensures identical images are not saved twice.
Klipr uses Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) for Google Gemini and OpenAI. Your API keys are stored locally on your device. When you extract text, images are sent directly to the official AI provider endpoint with zero telemetry or middleman servers. If you don't configure an API key, Klipr remains 100% offline.
