Toss

Securely share your clipboard across all your devices

Toss is a cross-platform clipboard sharing application with end-to-end encryption. Copy on one device, paste on another - securely and instantly.

Features

End-to-End Encryption: All clipboard data is encrypted using AES-256-GCM before leaving your device
Cross-Platform: Works on macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android
Local-First: Direct peer-to-peer sync on local networks for minimal latency
Relay Fallback: Cloud relay server for syncing when devices aren’t on the same network
Multiple Content Types: Supports text, images, files, and URLs
Easy Pairing: QR code or 6-digit code for secure device pairing
Privacy Focused: Zero-knowledge architecture - relay servers can’t read your data

Build Commands

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/rennerdo30/toss-share.git
cd toss-share

# Run setup script (recommended)
./scripts/setup.sh

# Or manually build:
make build              # Build Rust components
make release-macos      # Build macOS app
make release-linux      # Build Linux app
make release-windows    # Build Windows app
make release-android    # Build Android APK
make release-ios        # Build iOS app

# Build everything for all platforms
make release-all

# Create distributable archives
make package-all

Build outputs are placed in the dist/ directory:

dist/
├── macos/          # Toss.app
├── linux/          # Linux bundle
├── windows/        # Windows executable
├── android/        # toss.apk
├── ios/            # iOS app (unsigned)
└── relay-server/   # Relay server binary + Docker image

Troubleshooting

macOS: “CocoaPods not installed”

brew install cocoapods
cd flutter_app/macos && pod install

macOS: Xcode errors

sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
sudo xcodebuild -runFirstLaunch

Flutter: Platform not enabled

flutter config --enable-macos-desktop
flutter config --enable-linux-desktop
flutter config --enable-windows-desktop

General: Dependency issues

cd flutter_app
flutter clean
flutter pub get

Quick Start

Install Toss on two or more devices
Open Toss on both devices
Pair devices:
- On Device A: Click “Add Device” to show a QR code
- On Device B: Scan the QR code or enter the 6-digit code
Start syncing: Copy something on one device, it appears on the other!

Architecture

Toss uses a hybrid architecture for optimal performance and reliability:

┌─────────────┐     P2P (QUIC)      ┌─────────────┐
│  Device A   │◄───────────────────►│  Device B   │
│  (Flutter)  │                     │  (Flutter)  │
└──────┬──────┘                     └──────┬──────┘
       │                                   │
       │         Relay (Fallback)          │
       └──────────────►┌───┐◄──────────────┘
                       │ R │
                       │ E │
                       │ L │
                       │ A │
                       │ Y │
                       └───┘

Rust Core: Handles encryption, networking, and clipboard operations
Flutter UI: Cross-platform user interface
Relay Server: Optional fallback for remote sync (self-hostable)

Security

Toss takes security seriously:

X25519 key exchange for secure device pairing
AES-256-GCM authenticated encryption for all data
Ed25519 signatures for device identity
Zero-knowledge relay: The relay server only sees encrypted blobs
Forward secrecy: Session keys are rotated regularly

See SECURITY.md for our security policy and how to report vulnerabilities.

Self-Hosting the Relay Server

You can run your own relay server:

cd relay_server
docker-compose up -d

Then configure Toss to use your relay: Settings → Relay Server → Enter your server URL
