Built ClipLink P2P This Week
This week I built ClipLink P2P — copy on one device, paste on another. No cloud, no server, just peer-to-peer.
Apple already handles clipboard sync between Macs beautifully — my MacBook Pro and Mac Mini share everything automatically. But the moment you throw a Windows machine into the mix? You’re back to emailing yourself links like it’s 2005.
So I built ClipLink to bridge that gap. Mac to Windows, Windows to Mac, no account needed. Just run it and it finds the other device on your network.
Built it in Go. Everything is encrypted end-to-end with AES-256-GCM — you set a shared password on both devices and that’s it. It runs as a background service, auto-reconnects if a device goes offline, and can even start on login so you never have to think about it. Direct peer-to-peer over WebSocket, no cloud, no server, no account.
