Is there an easy way to share iOS clipboard to Linux directly using local WiFi without going through any cloud? Edit: clarification in my reply later in this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49492003

This is for iPhones only. Do I assume correctly that the issue is solved for Android, instead?

"Easy" is subjective, but tether seems like it would do this? There is also kdeconnect (don't let the "KDE" fool you).

It's fine to build for your own self but is it okay to release something in public when the environment is a moving target and you are just a one-man team keeping it afloat?

So I had a coding agent write an android background app for me that listens for SMS and forwards it to a discord server, and side loaded it. So now I get a discord notif on my laptop with the OTP.
