ClipType is a free, open-source clipboard utility that inserts copied text by simulating physical keyboard input. It helps users enter text into applications where conventional paste commands are unavailable or unreliable. The software supports Windows, Linux, and macOS through platform-specific input automation. Configurable typing delays and randomized pauses allow text to be entered at a controlled speed. Its formatting tools preserve indentation, normalize line endings, and optionally remove surrounding whitespace. Users can automatically clear clipboard contents after insertion to reduce exposure of sensitive information. On Windows, ClipType provides customizable hotkeys, audio feedback, accessibility support, and automatic interruption when the active window changes. It is particularly useful for remote desktops, virtual machines, and legacy applications.
