Clippy: Clipboard Sync Across Devices

Clippy is a remarkably useful Chrome extension that helps sync clipboard data across devices. Copy on one device and paste on another within seconds. Notably, this tool enhances productivity by eliminating the need to send emails or create drafts to transfer information between devices. Clippy is free, with all data transfers conducted over a secure HTTPS connection without storage on the server.

Fantastic app. It's easy to setup and use

Perfect! Exactly what I need after "Clipt" went out. It is even faster. Thank you very much. Please don't abandon this project

When installing a popup says that it will run even after chrome is closed. That is already suspicious. Also some copy and pasting features won't work after installing it. Even in other apps. And the worst. Even when uninstalling the extension this problem persists. So all this extension basically does is break the copy and paste feature of windows PERMANENTLY. There is no way to reverse it.
