MPClipboard

  1. Multi
  2. Platform
  3. Clipboard

This project implements a set of libraries and self-hosted apps (both desktop and mobile) to implement a shared clipboard buffer across multiple devices running on multiple platforms.

It requires a WebSocket server for communication (can be local if you only need it for devices that run in the same local network).

Key components:

  1. Server - self-hosted WebSocket server (a single binary, 2.3MB of RAM).
  2. Generic client - a library that is the heart of all desktop/mobile apps, handles talking over WebSocket and implements a dead simple communication protocol.
    1. Linux client - integrates with Wayland clipboard, shows history in tray menu.
    2. macOS client - integrates with macOS clipboard, shows history in tray menu, displays system notification when there's a new text received from the server.
  3. Android library - a generic library for Android
    1. Patched FlorisBoard app - a patched version of a popular open-source custom IME app for Android.

And potentially any other client can be implemented as well (iOS, Windows, etc).
