Plugins & workflowsbeta
Plugins and workflow automation are a planned direction for extending Octoclip beyond manual copy/paste. Treat this page as a forward-looking guide until a public plugin API is shipped.
Possible use cases
- Transform copied content before reuse.
- Send selected clips into a knowledge base or automation tool.
- Generate reusable templates from repeated clips.
- Integrate with developer tools, browsers, or note apps.
Current guidance
Use existing features first:
- Quick Input and aliases for reusable snippets.
- Collections and favorites for organization.
- System Share for deliberate capture from other apps.
- WebDAV / S3 Cloud Sync for user-controlled storage.
What plugins may do (once shipped)
When a public plugin API ships, plugins are expected to:
- run custom processing after copy events;
- integrate with external tools and services;
- turn repetitive workflows into reusable actions.
Plugin sources and trust
Once plugins are available, install only from trusted sources—untrusted plugin sources may introduce data-leakage or execution risks.
Documentation rule
Do not describe plugins or APIs as available unless the current build exposes them. Mark details as planned or experimental until release notes confirm availability.
