clipboard_sync

A flutter app that syncs clipboards between devices in the same LAN using Interprocess communication (Sockets).

What it does ?

group of devices on same network and with clipboard_sync running, keep their clipboards in sync . whenever a device copies a text, it will be shared with other devices.

How it works ?

🌍 Establishing connection

  • each device opens a serverSocket.
  • devices with no connections advertise its deviceId via UDP Broadcast.
  • devices with lexicographically higher deviceId respond with its configuration.
  • devices connect to the first received configuration via TCP Sockets.

🔌 Syncing clipboard

  • polls the system clipboard to detect changes.
  • clipboard changes are shared via the established TCP Sockets.
  • incoming clipboard changes are also forwarded to other devices.
  • each clipboard change message contains a timestamp, through which older messages are ignored when received.
