PinClipBoard protects clipboard data and content

Local web server.

All of the clipboard content will be restored on your local database and will never be uploaded to the cloud. When sharing the data, you just need to enable PinClipBoard sync service and start the Nginx server on your local computer. Then use other devices to scan the Qr code or enter the Ip address to access the clipboard data.

  2. No data will be uploaded to the cloud;
  3. Using Nginx, one of the best-in-class web servers used by high‑traffic websites such as Dropbox, Netflix, and Zynga, to build a local web server to link your devices.
  4. Only devices in the same WLAN with your local computer can access the clipboard.

Random Qr code and IP Address.

To improve the security level for protecting your clipboard data, each time you enable sync service or restart the program, PinClipBoard will re-generate a new and completely random Ip address and the Qr code. That means even someone gets the IP address and Qr code without your authority, it is still inaccessible to your clipboard content as you can generate a new IP address and Qr code easily. The old ones will be invalid.
