Installation

Shared Clipboard ships as a self-contained application. There is nothing to install alongside it on macOS or Windows; Linux needs a couple of system packages, listed below.

• macOS Apple Silicon · .zip
• Windows 10 / 11, x64 · .zip
• Linux X11 or Wayland · run from source

Every release, including older ones, is listed on the releases page.

The list above is ordinary markup in a markdown file. The highlight is drawn by a few lines of JavaScript in the same file, so the site stays static and the generator needs to know nothing about operating systems. Without JavaScript the reader simply sees all three, which is the correct fallback.

After downloading

Unzip the archive and move the application somewhere permanent — Applications on macOS, anywhere you like on Windows. The first launch needs a little care on both systems, because neither has seen this application signed before: First Run walks through the prompts.

Linux packages

There is no prebuilt Linux binary yet. Running from source takes a minute and needs these system packages:

• X11: xclip, python3-tk, libappindicator3-1
• Wayland: wl-clipboard, python3-tk
