Belphegor is a clipboard manager that allows you to share your clipboard with other devices on the network.

---

Features

• Hybrid encryption (RSA-2048*, AES-256-GCM) (bit size configurable)
• Peer to peer
• Discovering local nodes
• Image sharing (wayland <—> wayland, wayland <—> windows)

---

Dependencies

• linux:
  • xclip or xsel (for skufs) or wl-clipboard (linux)
• macos:
  • pbpaste
• windows:
  • nothing

Installation

• Prebuilt binaries

• Nix flake

  as profile

  nix profile install github:labi-le/belphegor

  import the module

  {
    # inputs
    belphegor.url = "github:labi-le/belphegor";
    # outputs
    overlay-belphegor = final: prev: {
      belphegor = belphegor.packages.${system}.default;
    };
  
    modules = [
      ({ config, pkgs, ... }: { nixpkgs.overlays = [ overlay-belphegor ]; })
    ];
  
    # add package
    environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
      belphegor
    ];
  }

Todo

[x] Create github actions for build binary and running tests

[x] Add flake

[ ] Debug image sharing for xclip, xsel, pbpaste

[ ] Use wayland/x11 ipc clients instead of using utilities to monitor the clipboard

[ ] Add disable cipher option (maybe)
