Original Summary

I'm the maker of SwarmSpan, a small desktop utility for people who use both a Windows PC and a Mac. The everyday problem is a link, path, screenshot, or file stranded on the other computer. SwarmSpan shares clipboard items and transfers files directly between paired, trusted computers on the same local network. It also keeps a searchable local clipboard history. It's designed for computers you own. The receiving computer needs to be awake, running SwarmSpan, and authorized. There's no account or cloud relay for the local clipboard/file-sharing lane. For developers, the first exercise is deliberately small: send a synthetic text file to the other machine, check the actual destination and contents, then bring it back. We verified that installed Windows-to-Mac-to-Windows file roundtrip with matching SHA-256 hashes. That isn't a claim about every network, a fresh install, or a completed remote build. The Windows license is US$4.99 once for your own Windows PCs. The Mac edition is a separate US$4.99 Mac App Store purchase. No subscription; regional Apple prices can vary. Product and setup: https://talavine.com/swarmspan I'm also the maker of Talavine, a separate local data hub that brings chosen email, documents, notes, and calendars together for the supported AI you choose. The products don't silently merge their private databases. I'd value feedback from people with a two-computer desk: is sharing the clipboard the thing you'd reach for every day, or is moving files the bigger annoyance? If you've tried the setup, where did it become confusing? AI assisted with this post. Maker disclosure: I build both products.   submitted by   /u/Virtual_Option4380 [link]   [comments]
