CrossPaste is a cross-platform clipboard manager that lets you copy content on one device and paste it on another. It supports Linux, macOS and Windows.
The software handles text, colours, URLs, HTML, RTF, images and files. Devices communicate over the local network using a serverless architecture, with clipboard data stored locally.
CrossPaste also provides end-to-end encryption, clipboard history, local OCR for extracting text from images, automatic storage management, and a browser extension.
This is free and open source software.
