• Language: Go 1.25.0
• GUI Framework: GTK4 via gotk4 bindings
• Database: SQLite3 for persistent storage
• Platform: Linux (Wayland/X11)

Clipboard data is stored in ~/.local/share/bio.murat.clyp/clyp.db using SQLite3. The database includes:

• Automatic timestamps for each clipboard entry
• Content type detection (text/image)
• Duplicate prevention
• Efficient indexing for fast searches

Clyp follows XDG Base Directory specifications:

• Data Directory: ~/.local/share/bio.murat.clyp/
• Database File: ~/.local/share/bio.murat.clyp/clyp.db
