# Uniclip - Universal Clipboard
Apple users, did you know you could copy from one device and paste on the other? Wouldn't it be awesome if you could do that for non-Apple devices too?
Now you can, Apple device or not!
You don't even have to sign in like you need to on Apple devices. You don't have to install Go either!
## Usage
Run this to start a new clipboard:
```sh
uniclip
```
Example output:
```text
Starting a new clipboard!
Run `uniclip 192.168.86.24:51607` to join this clipboard
```
Just enter what it says (`uniclip 192.168.86.24:51607`) on your other device with Uniclip installed and hit enter. That's it! Now you can copy from one device and paste on the other.
You can even have multiple devices joined to the same clipboard (just run that same command on the new device).
```text
Uniclip - Universal Clipboard
With Uniclip, you can copy from one device and paste on another.
Usage: uniclip [--secure/-s] [--debug/-d] [
| --help/-h ]
Examples:
uniclip # start a new clipboard
uniclip -p 53701 # start a new clipboard on the provided port
uniclip 192.168.86.24:53701 # join the clipboard at 192.168.86.24:53701
uniclip -d # start a new clipboard with debug output
uniclip -d --secure 192.168.86.24:53701 # join the clipboard with debug output and enable encryption
Running just `uniclip` will start a new clipboard.
It will also provide an address with which you can connect to the same clipboard with another device.
```
*Note: The devices have to be on the same local network (eg. connected to the same WiFi) unless the device has a public IP with all ports routed to it. (use the public IP instead of what Uniclip prints in this case)*

Uninstalling Uniclip is very easy. If you used a package manager, use its uninstall feature. If not, just delete the Uniclip binary:
On macOS or GNU/Linux, delete `/usr/local/bin/uniclip`
On Windows, delete it from where you installed it
On Termux, delete it from `$PREFIX/usr/bin/uniclip`
