Abstract

The aim of this bachelor’s thesis was to create an application that synchronizes the clipboard and its history between multiple computers. The app monitors the clipboard for changes and saves all available data to a database whenever something is copied. That way all the computers that have the application and are connected to the same server using the same account have access to the same clipboard history. This enables the user to use previously copied information regardless of the device. The thesis explains the clipboard systems in different operating systems, analyzes existing solutions and their strengths and weaknesses. During the thesis, a solution was developed, consisting of a sever and a client application. The server API is written in the Go programming language, it stores data in a Postgres database and serves an HTML file for web browsers. The client application, which communicates with the clipboard, user interface, and server, uses Go, C and web technologies. In this document the used technologies and the reason behind the choices is given.
