In their own words
Octoclip
Octoclip is a clipboard workspace for copying content on one device and pasting it on another, across iPhone, Android, Windows, and macOS. It automatically saves recent items to Clip History for search and reuse. Quick Input, shortcuts, aliases, pins, collections, and filters help users retrieve clips. Nearby Sync transfers clips between paired devices on the same local or Tailscale network; Cloud Sync supports devices on different networks through user-configured WebDAV or S3 storage. Clipboard content is primarily stored locally, and Octoclip says it does not use Octoclip-owned cloud storage to store or analyze it. With a Cloud Sync master password, clip content is encrypted on-device before upload, but sync index metadata remains unencrypted in storage. The free plan includes cross-device copy and paste, Nearby Sync, Clip History and quick search, Quick Input and alias preview, and a Cloud Sync experience. Standard costs $19.99 one-time for two licensed devices; Plus costs $39.99 one-time for up to five. Paid licenses include one year of updates, while unlocked features continue working afterward. Official requirements are Windows 10 (1803) or newer, macOS 10.15 or newer, Android 8 or newer, and iOS/iPadOS 15 or newer.
