Clipcast

What is clipcast?

Clipcast is a multi-platform network clipboard.

It works as follows:

• You paste your clipboard content into an icon (which is optionally integrated into your windowing system like Gnome Panel or Windows Taskbar)
• The content is then send encrypted to a set of other clipcast instances
• Each instance puts the content into their own clipboard

Veeeery convenient, if you have more than one workstation on your desk.

Available platforms at the moment are: native X11 (Xt) and Windows. Mac OS X, Gnome and KDE to come.
