Android side requires a rooted phone with KernelSU and Zygisk installed.
ClipSync is a tool that keeps your clipboard in sync between a Windows computer and an Android phone, as long as both devices are on the same local network. If you copy text on one device, it shows up ready to paste on the other, without you needing to send it manually. It is written in Rust and aims to be lightweight, easy to use, and gentle on battery life. The PC side runs as a small program that sits in the Windows system tray. The Android side runs as a background service, but it requires a rooted phone with KernelSU and the Zygisk framework installed, since ClipSync needs deep access to the clipboard to work. Devices find each other automatically on the local network using mDNS discovery, or by scanning the network directly, so there is no manual pairing step in most cases. Out of the box, ClipSync works with no configuration needed. For anyone who wants to customize it, both the PC and Android sides read settings from a TOML configuration file. These settings include the network port used for the connection, a pre shared secret key for authentication, timing details like how often the app checks in over the connection, and how quickly it reacts to clipboard changes. The PC and Android configuration files must use matching port numbers and secret keys, or the two devices will not be able to connect. Users can also skip automatic discovery entirely and list specific devices to connect to by name and address. The project is split into two main parts: a Windows tray client that watches and updates the PC clipboard and connects out to the Android service, and an Android daemon that runs as a rooted system module to read and write the phone's clipboard. Building the project from source requires the Rust toolchain, the Android NDK, and a rooted Android device. ClipSync currently supports Windows 10 and 11, along with Android 10 and newer. It is best suited for developers or power users who are comfortable rooting their Android device and want a private, self hosted way to share clipboard text between their computer and phone.
