Clipboard Sync

Share text snippets between machines. Curl to save, curl to paste.

The Problem

You're working across multiple machines and want to quickly share text snippets, commands, or code between them.

The WrenDB Solution

Use WrenDB as a universal clipboard. Save with curl, retrieve with curl.
