VisitCopyQ vs Relic
What both publish
| Fact | CopyQ | Relic |
|---|---|---|
| Encryption | Built in encryption can protect all stored tab data with a user set password, using the Windows Credential Store, macOS Keychain, GNOME Keyring, or KWallet to store that password; exported data is not encrypted by script export commands. | Content is sealed on-device with XChaCha20-Poly1305; passphrases derive wrapping keys with Argon2id. |
| Integrations | Users can add or import shared commands from the CopyQ Commands repository, including commands triggered by shortcuts or clipboard changes. | The help guide describes connecting AI agents such as Claude Code to search, save, and retrieve vault items. |
| Organization | Users can browse and filter clipboard history, edit and sort entries, and add notes or tags. | Users can promote items to a Vault, add titles, notes and tags, set reminders, and create snippets. |
| Privacy | CopyQ states that it does not collect other data or send anything over the network. | The maker says content, titles, notes, and tags are unreadable to Relic, while service metadata such as account email and item counts is collected. |
