Clipboard Sync is a cross-platform application that allows users to synchronize their clipboard content between multiple devices seamlessly. The application runs in the system tray (menu bar) and supports both Linux and macOS.

• Clipboard Synchronization: Automatically sync clipboard content between devices.
• System Tray Integration: Runs in the background and provides a menu bar icon for easy access.
• Auto-Discovery: Automatically discovers the server on the local network using mDNS.
• Start on Login: Option to start the application automatically when the user logs in.

The application consists of two main components:

1. Server: Runs on one device and listens for incoming connections from clients. It monitors its own clipboard and broadcasts changes to connected clients.
2. Client: Runs on other devices and connects to the server. It monitors the clipboard and sends changes to the server.

1. Server Mode:

   • The server starts and advertises its presence on the local network.
   • It listens for incoming WebSocket connections from clients.
   • It monitors its clipboard for changes and broadcasts any updates to connected clients.

2. Client Mode:

   • The client discovers the server on the local network.
   • It connects to the server and starts monitoring its clipboard.
   • Any changes in the clipboard are sent to the server, which then broadcasts them to all connected clients.

• Go: Ensure you have Go installed on your machine. You can download it from golang.org.
• Linux Dependencies: For Linux, you need to install the following packages:

  sudo apt-get install -y xclip libayatana-appindicator3-dev libgtk-3-dev

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone [email protected]:furkanksl/clipboard-sync.git
   cd clipboard-sync

2. Build the Application:

   make clean
   make dist

3. Install the .deb Package:

   sudo dpkg -i dist/clipboard-sync_*.deb
   sudo apt-get install -f  # To fix any dependency issues

4. Run the Server:

   clipboard-sync -server -port 8080

5. Run the Client (in another terminal):

   clipboard-sync

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone [email protected]:furkanksl/clipboard-sync.git
   cd clipboard-sync

2. Build the Application:

   go build -o bin/clipboard-sync cmd/desktop/main.go

3. Create the macOS App Bundle:

   chmod +x build_macos.sh
   ./build_macos.sh

4. Move the App to Applications:

   mv ClipboardSync.app /Applications/

5. Run the Application:

   open /Applications/ClipboardSync.app

• Server: Start the server on one device using the command:

  clipboard-sync -server -port 8080

• Client: Start the client on other devices. The client will automatically discover the server on the local network.

The application logs its activity to a file located at ~/.clipboard-sync/clipboard-sync.log. You can view the logs using:

tail -f ~/.clipboard-sync/clipboard-sync.log

• For Linux, the application can be set to start on login by creating an autostart entry in ~/.config/autostart/clipboard-sync.desktop.
• For macOS, you can add the application to your login items in System Preferences.

• If the application does not appear in the menu bar, ensure that the necessary dependencies are installed and that the application is running in the background.
• Check the logs for any errors related to clipboard access or network issues.
