Clipboard Sharing via Rendezvous

Posted by pudge on from the mmmm-clipboards dept.

DrC writes "ClipboardSharing lets you send your clipboard between Mac OS X computers. You can use it to send or download almost anything that can be copied to a clipboard, including formatted text and images, and because it uses Rendezvous to find computers on the local network it is very simple and efficient to use. It is designed to be used from the menu bar, so it doesn't take space and it's always available." I used to have something thrown together for this in Mac OS, nice to see something easy to use for Mac OS X.

    And ... who wants to run VNX or X11 all the time? I don't care that it is via Rendezvous, that's just an implementation detail. My previous code did it via AppleTalk, which also had automatic discovery. Wheee.

    This predates Rendezvous by a couple of years:

    is a clipboard history.

    i often times want to put about seven things in my clipboard at once and i end up having to open a text document and paste all the selections i need in them becuase the clipboard has no memory.

    i can't share with anyone in my office, but this feature alone makes it awesome.
