ClipBroad

README | 中文文档

Sync your clipboard across multiple platforms. Download the latest release here.

Introduction

This tools uses Github private repo to store and sync your clipboard items. By default, it listens to your local clipboard change like other clipboard tools do. After login to Github, local clipboard items will be uploaded to Github on a frequent basis, while remote items will be fetched to local.

By login to Github, ClipBroad will ask for your user and repo permission. These permissions are used to get your avatar, username, Github API rate limit, as well as creating a private repository named ClipBroadHistory for you, uploading and deleting clipboard items to this repository.

Currently I'm not going to purchase an Apple developer account to support iOS. Besides, Linux build is not tested. If you find any issue, feel free to fork and build on your own.
