CLIP

Cross-device LAN Interlinked Paste

Seamlessly sync your clipboard across multiple devices on the same network.

✨ Features

• 🔁 Real-time clipboard syncing over LAN
• ⚡ Lightning-fast peer-to-peer communication
• 🧠 Smart updates (no duplicates)
• 🔐 Local-only — no data leaves your network
• 💻 Cross-device: works across all your Windows devices (Support for other OS/System will be added soon)

🚀 How It Works

CLIP uses local network broadcasting to discover nearby devices and establish WebSocket connections between them. Once connected, clipboard data is shared instantly but not securely (data encryption will added soon.) — without using the internet.
