The clipboard moves only when the pointer moves

What is on your clipboard is what your next paste uses, and a paste can go into a terminal, a payment form or a prompt to an AI. So another computer cannot put something there whenever it likes. Two things have to hold, and each is decided by your own computer:

  • The other computer is in your arrangement.
  • The pointer moved between the two just now.

Otherwise what it sends is dropped, and your clipboard stays as it was.

What stays where it was copied

Content that the program you copied from marks as private does not cross. BukDesk honours the marks Windows has for this, the ones that keep content out of clipboard history and out of the cloud clipboard. Password managers use them.

Encrypted, and not kept

What you copy goes straight from one of your computers to the other, encrypted with keys only those two hold. It is not sent to us and not kept on a server.

Turning it off

One switch turns sharing off. An organization can turn off the clipboard alone, by policy.

What this does not close

A computer in your arrangement can take the pointer, and then it can also replace your clipboard. That moves the pointer, which you may see if you are at the computer, and will not see if you are away. Pair and place only computers that are yours.
