ClipFlow

ClipFlow — Text Automation for Stream Deck

ClipFlow turns your Stream Deck into a complete text workstation. Copy, transform, generate, and insert text directly from keys and dials—without leaving your current application.

Core Features

ClipFlow provides eight text actions:

Clipboard — instantly paste the latest clipboard entry.

Clipboard History — browse, search, pin, and manage clipboard entries.

Clipboard Search — fuzzy-search clipboard content, snippets, templates, and chains.

Snippet — insert reusable text blocks.

Template — render dynamic {{variable}} templates at insertion time.

Transform — modify text with case conversion, JSON formatting, Base64, URL encoding, regex, and more.

Generate — create dates, timestamps, UUIDs, random strings, and other values.

Chain — combine multiple operations into one multi-step workflow.

ClipFlow also includes AI and Notepad. AI presets can process clipboard content using OpenAI-compatible or local Ollama models. Notepad lets you collect multiple clippings and compile them into a single block.

Stream Deck Integration

Actions support both Keypad and Encoder where applicable. Short press performs the primary action, while long press or dial rotation opens a browser for selecting items. On Stream Deck +, the touch strip can also browse, favorite, and trigger items.

Every action supports three output modes: Paste, Type (simulated keystrokes), and Clipboard Only.

Property Inspector & Manager

ClipFlow separates everyday configuration from advanced management.

The Property Inspector focuses on the basic behavior of each individual Key or Dial, allowing most users to configure and use ClipFlow without opening another application.

The desktop Manager handles advanced tasks such as organizing large clipboard histories, snippets, templates, variables, chains, AI presets, and detailed Transform references. It also provides import/export and an 11-language interface.

This separation keeps the Property Inspector simple. Clipboard history can become very large, while the Transform Reference contains dozens of transformations. Putting all of this content into every PI panel would make them unnecessarily long and difficult to navigate.

Privacy First

ClipFlow is local-first and privacy-focused. Clipboard data is captured through a lightweight native Windows bridge using a local named-pipe connection. API keys, secret variables, clipboard history, and Notepad data are encrypted at rest using Windows DPAPI.

No account, cloud sync, or telemetry is required.

## Fixes

- The dial's touch menu could be wiped by a background refresh and silently trigger a hidden item. - The AI connection test, chain test and backup recovery dialog always reported failure. - The Notepad "collect current clipboard" action and its favourite / auto-collect controls stopped working. - Date tokens like "March" / "Sep", plus slugify and random-number transforms, produced wrong output. - The Manager and Property Inspector now reconnect after a Stream Deck restart, and the search box no longer interrupts Chinese / Japanese / Korean input. - Pasted and imported content is rendered safely, and emptying the trash asks you to type EMPTY first.

## Localization

All 11 languages are now complete — about 6,000 strings that fell back to English are translated, including the whole insert-behaviour panel, chain prompts, tooltips and the Manager's view descriptions. Descriptions now follow the language you pick, even when you switch while the Manager is open. The WeChat entry now reads as a way to support development rather than "chat with the developer". Language files reload without a restart, so corrected wording shows up right after an update.
