DecentPaste is a cross-platform clipboard sharing application that lets users share clipboard content between devices over a local network.
It’s designed as a privacy-focused alternative to cloud-based universal clipboard services, using peer-to-peer connections, local discovery, secure device pairing, and encrypted clipboard synchronization.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features

- Encrypts clipboard data with AES-256-GCM authenticated encryption.
- Cross-platform support – Linux, Windows, macOS, and Android, with iOS support planned.
- Uses libp2p for encrypted peer-to-peer networking.
- Provides pre-built release downloads for supported platforms.
