wtf is tsync?

tsync is an early-stage tool that lets multiple computers on the same local network share clipboards and sync files with each other. Imagine copying text on your laptop and pasting it directly onto your desktop, or moving a file between a Mac and a Windows machine without fumbling with USB drives or cloud uploads. The project provides a simple text-based interface to manage this sharing directly from your terminal. The tool works by having each computer announce its presence over your local network. When you run it, the program figures out the correct network address to use and starts listening for other devices running the same software. It periodically broadcasts its own status and listens for broadcasts from peers, allowing the machines to discover each other automatically without needing a central server or complex configuration. This would appeal to developers, system administrators, or anyone who regularly works across multiple computers. If you have a Mac, a Windows PC, and a Linux machine all on the same desk, you could use this to seamlessly move snippets of code, configuration text, or files between them. It eliminates the friction of emailing files to yourself or relying on a third-party cloud service just to move data across the room. The project is still a work in progress, so it is likely best suited for users who are comfortable with early-stage software. It is built in Go and designed to work across Mac, Linux, and Windows. The README notes one notable tradeoff: running it through Docker on a Mac does not seem to work properly because the underlying network communication method it relies on is not fully supported in that specific environment.
