The modern workstation spans macOS, Windows, iOS, and Android — yet moving text, images, and code snippets between them remains frustratingly broken.
Every single day, software engineers, designers, researchers, and creators use multiple operating systems. You outline an architectural thought on an iPad, write frontend components on a Mac, test API backends on a Linux container, and respond to team alerts on an Android phone or Windows workstation.
Most of us have resorted to crude workarounds: emailing draft notes to ourselves, messaging ourselves on Slack, or relying on platform-locked tools like Apple Continuity Clipboard that break the moment you use Windows or Android.
Our Core Philosophy
1. Zero-Knowledge by Default
Your clipboard contains private API keys, authentication tokens, connection strings, personal messages, and passwords. Qlip is built with End-to-End Encryption (E2EE) using Curve25519 and ChaCha20-Poly1305. Cryptographic decryption keys reside exclusively on your paired hardware devices.
2. Sub-100ms Speed (LAN-First Architecture)
Qlip prioritizes Local Area Network (LAN) zero-cloud discovery. When your laptop and desktop share the same Wi-Fi network, clips transfer directly over local TCP sockets in under 15 milliseconds.
3. Cross-Platform Equality
We refuse to treat non-Apple operating systems as second-class citizens. Qlip provides native, high-performance background applications for macOS, Windows, iOS, and Android.
