EasySwitchClipboard
Copy here. Paste there.
One clipboard shared by every machine on your desk: text, images, files and folders, in every direction, over your own network.
The short version
EasySwitch keeps one clipboard across macOS, Windows and Linux. Copy on one computer and paste on another with the shortcut you already use — text and images arrive as text and images, not as file paths, and files and folders paste as real files. Copying a file does not send it anywhere: only a small manifest of names and sizes is announced, and the bytes move at the moment you paste on the other machine.
Text, images, files
including mixed selections and folders
Nothing until you paste

The paste is the transfer
This is the part people don't expect. When you copy a file or a folder, EasySwitch announces a manifest — the names and the sizes — and stops there. The network stays quiet. The moment you paste on the other machine, the bytes are pulled across and written where you pasted them.
It means you can copy a 40 GB folder on a whim and it costs nothing unless you use it, and it means nothing you copied by accident ever lands on another computer.
- Copy a huge folder, paste only if you want it
- Large transfers stream to disk instead of filling memory, with a progress card you can cancel
- Transfers are paced so your typing and cursor never stutter
The formats you actually copy
Text syncs both ways and is free forever. Screenshots and copied images paste into apps as images. Files and folders paste as files, into Finder, Explorer or a file dialog. A hash check stops the copy/paste loop that two-way clipboard sync would otherwise create.
You can turn the whole thing off in Settings if you'd rather keep clipboards separate — it is one switch, on by default.
Where the limits are
The free tier carries text with no cap and images or files up to 10 MB per transfer, which covers screenshots, documents and most day-to-day moves. Pro removes the size cap entirely.
What crosses the network
Only the content you copy, and only when a paste asks for it. It travels end-to-end encrypted directly between your machines, on every tier — there is no cloud clipboard, no history kept on a server, and no account involved.
Questions
Does copying a big file slow my network down?
No. Copying announces names and sizes only. The transfer starts when you paste on the other machine, and it is paced so input stays sharp while it runs.
Can I paste an image, not just text?
Yes. Copy a screenshot on one machine and paste it into an app on another. Files and folders paste as real files, including mixed selections.
Is there a size limit?
Text is unlimited on every tier. Images and files are capped at 10 MB per transfer on the free tier; Pro removes the cap.
Is my clipboard stored anywhere?
No. Content travels directly between your machines, encrypted, and is not kept on a server — there is no server in the path at all.
