Toss

Securely share your clipboard across all your devices

CI License: MIT

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

./scripts/setup.sh

Prerequisites

All Platforms: - Rust (1.75+) - Flutter (3.24+) - Git

macOS: - Xcode (from App Store) - Xcode Command Line Tools: xcode-select --install - CocoaPods: brew install cocoapods or sudo gem install cocoapods - After installing Xcode, run: 

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

Linux (Debian/Ubuntu): 

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y clang cmake ninja-build pkg-config \
    libgtk-3-dev liblzma-dev libstdc++-12-dev

Linux (Fedora): 

sudo dnf install -y clang cmake ninja-build pkgconfig gtk3-devel xz-devel

Linux (Arch): 

sudo pacman -S clang cmake ninja pkg-config gtk3 xz

Windows: - Visual Studio 2022 with "Desktop development with C++" workload - Windows 10 SDK

Android (optional): - Android Studio with Android SDK - Set ANDROID_HOME environment variable - Run flutter doctor --android-licenses

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

  1. Install Toss on two or more devices
  2. Open Toss on both devices
  3. Pair devices:
  4. On Device A: Click "Add Device" to show a QR code
  5. On Device B: Scan the QR code or enter the 6-digit code
  6. 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
