Is there an easy way to share iOS clipboard to Linux directly using local WiFi without going through any cloud?

Edit: clarification in my reply later in this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49492003

"Easy" is subjective, but tether seems like it would do this? There is also kdeconnect (don't let the "KDE" fool you).

That's what I thought at first but then discovered:

> universal clipboard is synchronized over internet, it is not done trough cable connection. it uses apple continuity service, what you put into UC is uploaded into apple cloud,..

https://github.com/libimobiledevice/libimobiledevice/issues/...

That's why I'm a bit confused now.

> don't let the "KDE" fool you

Being GNOME2-then-MATE user, it really would.

		It's a project by KDE, but it doesn't require you to use the KDE desktop environment. I'm sure it integrates with that but it doesn't require it.

You can use the app that is the subject of this thread:

Literally OP does this. It doesn't share it automatically like iOS-to-macOS integration but you open the app, click a button - job done.
