  ClipGuard is a cross-platform clipboard guard built with PySide6.

  Key features:
  - Monitors the clipboard in real time and keeps a searchable history.
  - Masks sensitive data (ID cards, bank cards, phone numbers, emails, IP addresses) and supports custom keywords.
  - Lists entries by source application, content type, favorites, and trash with full-text search.
  - Stores settings in ~/.clipguard/config.json and supports PyInstaller packaging.

  I’d appreciate feedback on UI/UX, detection rules, and ideas for ML-powered features. Happy to answer questions!

This still dont work correctly with linux and wine+notepad++ though I did get another solution based on a derivative of this effort, thanks.
