Copy Trail: Clipboard Manager & Cursor Trail

About

Copy Trail turns copying into something you can see and reuse. Every time you copy
text, a link, or an image on any website, a small card glides out from your cursor
so you get instant visual feedback. At the same time, that item is saved to a clean
clipboard panel, so you always have your recent copies one click away
to copy again or paste straight into any field.

It is part clipboard history manager, part delightful cursor effect, and it works on
every site without slowing your browsing down.

WHAT YOU GET

Clipboard history that remembers everything
Copy Trail keeps your recent copied items in one tidy panel. Text snippets, links,
and images are each saved with a clear type label and preview, so you can find what
you need at a glance.

One click to copy or paste
Open the panel and click any saved item to put it back on your clipboard. Or use the
paste button to drop it straight into whatever text box is focused on the page, with
no Control V needed. Perfect for filling forms, reusing links, and moving snippets
between sites.

A copy trail you can actually see
Each copy spawns a little white card that smoothly follows your cursor. Text shows
TXT, links show a link icon, and images show a thumbnail. It is a fun, low key
confirmation that your copy worked.

History that survives tabs and navigation
Your clipboard list is stored locally and stays with you when you open a new tab or
follow a link, so nothing disappears mid task.

Clean, modern design
The panel uses a readable frosted glass style with a subtle accent, and lives in an
isolated layer so it never clashes with the page you are on.

Private by design
Copy Trail does not send anything anywhere. Your clipboard history is stored only on
your own device using local browser storage. There are no accounts, no tracking, and
no network requests.

HOW TO USE IT

1. Copy anything as you normally would.
2. Watch the card trail confirm the copy near your cursor.
3. Click the clipboard button in the bottom right corner, or press Alt plus C, to open
   the panel.
4. Click an item to copy it again, or use the paste button to insert it into the
   focused field. Use the X to remove an item, which also clears its card from the trail.

You can rebind the shortcut any time under chrome://extensions/shortcuts. Turn the whole effect on or off from the toolbar popup.
