By skyforbes I got tired of emailing myself screenshots and texting links to my own number or having to manually use localsend for everything. Apple's Universal Clipboard only works with Macs, so I made Velocity Bridge.
How it works:
– Runs a tiny local server on your Linux box
– iOS Shortcuts send clipboard data over your home network
– Text/images land directly in your Linux clipboard
– No cloud, no account, no Apple tax
Pro tip: Set up Back Tap (Settings → Accessibility → Touch → Back Tap) to trigger the shortcut. Double-tap the back of your phone = instant paste on Linux. It's stupidly satisfying.
Install:
– Fedora: `sudo dnf copr enable trex099/velocity-bridge && sudo dnf install velocity-bridge`
– Arch: `yay -S velocity-bridge`
– Any distro: One-liner curl script or AppImage
Comes with a GUI for easy setup, or run it headless as a systemd service.

Built this for myself, figured others might want it too. Feedback welcome!
