I Built a LAN-First Clipboard Sync Tool to Remove Workflow Friction Between My Devices

Source: Dev.to

Overview

I work across multiple machines daily (Windows + Android), and I realized I was constantly sending text or images to myself just to move them between devices. It worked, but it felt like unnecessary friction.

So I built Syncara, a small LAN‑first clipboard sync tool.

Features

• Instant transfer: Copy on one device → instantly paste on another.
• Local network: Works over your LAN, keeping data private and fast.
• Supports text and images.
• Lightweight background service.
• Ephemeral queue: Small 5‑item queue (not a clipboard history manager).

The goal was to keep it minimal and fast — not a full device integration system, just instant clipboard transfer.

Early Access

I’m onboarding early users manually to keep things stable and gather real feedback before a wider release.

If you work across multiple devices and this sounds useful, you can request early access here:
