clipboard-watcher

This repository contains the code of an experiment, in order to understand how hard would it be (if possible) to have an application that can monitor the access of other apps to the clipboard on Linux machines.

This app can also ask the user for permission before providing the clipboard contents.

At the moment it only supports desktop environments that use X.

To learn more please read the original blog post.

Installation

To build and run this demo app, you will need to have Poetry in order to be able to execute the following commands:

$ poetry install
$ poetry run watcher --help
