GhostCopy for Mac and Windows is out now.

The Mac build is signed and notarized by Apple, and updates itself. Windows comes from the Microsoft Store, which keeps it updated, and Linux installs for your user and updates itself. The iPhone app is on TestFlight today; Android is next.

macOS

Available now

Lives in the menu bar; Option+Space opens it from anywhere, with no permissions to grant. Drag it into Applications and it keeps itself up to date from there.

Next

Push notifications and tap‑to‑copy. Sending is paste‑then‑send, because Android will not let an app watch the clipboard.

ANDROID 8.0 AND UP

This is new software that moves your clipboard between machines. It has not had an independent security audit. Apple’s notarization means the Mac build was scanned and is signed by us — not that anyone has reviewed the code. Treat it accordingly.
