Built with standalone ASIO, it automatically determines whether to act as a client or server depending on availability—no manual setup required.\n\n## ✨ Features\n\n- 📡 Automatic server/client role detection\n- 🧠 Intelligent connection logic with ASIO\n- 🔄 Instant LAN-based text transfer\n- 🖥️ Cross-platform compatible (Linux, Windows, macOS)\n- 💡 Ideal for clipboard sharing, text syncing, quick notes\n\n## 🚀 How it works\n\n1. On launch, the app tries to connect as a client.\n2. If no server is found, it becomes the server.\n3. Once connected, text can be sent from one device to another instantly.\n\n## 🛠️ Compilation\n\n### Linux / macOS / Windows (with MinGW)\n\n1. Clone the repository:\n\n   ```sh\n   git clone https://github.com/Evr5/ClipTransfer.git\n   cd clip-transfer\n   ```\n\n2. Build with `make`:\n\n    ```sh\n    make\n    ```\n\nNote: Requires a C++17-compatible compiler and CMake.\n\n## 🧩 Snapcraft (All Linux Distros with Snap Support)\n\nClipTransfer is available on the Snap Store and can be installed easily on **any Linux distribution** that supports [Snap](https://snapcraft.io/docs/installing-snapd):\n\n```sh\nsudo snap install clip-transfer\n```\n\n\u003e 📦 This is the easiest way to get started on Linux without compiling manually.\n\n## 🧪 Arch Linux Users\n\nClipTransfer is also available on the AUR. You can install it using [`yay`](https://github.com/Jguer/yay) or [`paru`](https://github.com/Morganamilo/paru):\n\n```sh\nyay -S clip-transfer        # Stable version (build from source)\nyay -S clip-transfer-bin    # Stable version (precompiled binary)\nyay -S clip-transfer-git    # Latest development version (from Git)\n```\n\nChoose the one that suits your preference:\n\n- `clip-transfer`: stable and open-source (compiled locally)\n- `clip-transfer-bin`: precompiled binary for quick install\n- `clip-transfer-git`: latest development version from the main branch\n\n## 🖥️ Windows Users\n\nIf you prefer not to compile the project, you can directly download and run the precompiled [clip-transfer.exe](https://github.com/Evr5/ClipTransfer/releases/download/v1.1.0/clip-transfer.exe).\n\n\u003e ⚠️ **Important**: On first launch, Windows Defender SmartScreen may block the app because it's not signed.\n\u003e\n\u003e - Click on **\"More info\"**  \n\u003e - Then click **\"Run anyway\"**\n\nYou may also see a Windows Firewall prompt asking for network access—this is expected. You can safely allow access to **Private networks** to enable communication between devices on the same LAN.\n\n## 🔧 Tech Stack\n\n- C++17\n- Standalone ASIO\n- TCP/IP (LAN only)\n- CMake\n\n## 📁 License\n\n[MIT](./LICENSE)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fevr5%2Fcliptransfer","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fevr5%2Fcliptransfer","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fevr5%2Fcliptransfer/lists"}
