Hahaha.. I’m an Apple user, I know exactly what you’re referring to. It’s a great feature.

But this is probably the cheapest option if including Linux etc

Just have it open on your Mac and Linux machines, and it should update pretty quickly. Although I use the app on both, not the web app.

I'm confused.

A clipboard is different to notes.

For notes, you can use Apple Notes, or Google Keep etc...

If I just want to copy anything and paste anything on any device, that's not a note system.

However you can use a note system to manually do this, but it is a copy paste on source device, wait for sync on target device and copy paste on target device.

This is a manual process, which I'm already doing using Google Keep, how is this different?

How is it different to KDE connect, which does have a universal clipboard, but you have to run the app in the foreground for it to work and it doesn't work without tweaks and severe configuration and requires all devices to be on the same LAN ?

Ah, that’s true, you did say you used Keep. And true, you did want a clipboard app. Sorry.

What about LocalSend? That’s a secure, cross platform Airdrop replacement. It can send files etc, but also clipboard text.

I'll check it out, thanks 👍

Thanks mate.

On the iPad, it seems to package the clipboard content up as a file, so it might not actually fit your needs. That said, it’s a great airdrop replacement if you do want to drop things to the Linux machine or your Apple devices etc.

iPad is the only Apple device I don't use 👍

I’m on mine now, so was just checking the options, it definitely works with clipboard, but can’t remember whether it receives to the clipboard.
