The cliphist clipboard history persists across session boundaries. When a user logs out and another session starts (or the same user logs back in), the previous clipboard contents are still available via Walker's clipboard provider.

Current setup:

  • cliphist stores in $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/cliphist/db
  • Watchers started via spawn-sh-at-startup in niri config
  • No cleanup on session end

Possible approaches:

  • Add a cleanup hook to niri's session shutdown (if supported)
  • Use a systemd user service with ExecStop=cliphist wipe
  • Add a logout script that runs cliphist wipe
