Looking for recommendations for an open-source, peer-to-peer clipboard sync that works across iOS, Android, and Windows and Linux, with no central servers or accounts, best to have end-to-end encryption). Does anything like this already exist, or is this still an unsolved gap?

I found this too, but bidirectional support is important to me. I’m also not sure how it would work between Android and iOS.

It supports sharing your clipboard from mobile to desktop you just need to select the click click share & then click on your desktop.

Well...
there really is no tool for full bidirectional support. Probbably android (and ios) not letting random apps get the clipboard on the background.

on ios it can be achieved with shorcuts, not sure about android

Back in the day Tasker was the ultimate automation app. Don’t know how it has aged.

The log reading workaround seems to solve that issue in my case. The only catch is that I need to allow this permission once (there's a graphical prompt - the adb commands aren't needed) when I start the app for the first time, or after force-quitting the background app.
