Apple introduced Universal Clipboard in 2016 (as part of iOS 10 and macOS Sierra), making it possible to copy and paste content seamlessly between Apple devices like Mac, iPhone, and iPad.
Now, Remote Mouse brings this experience even further.
With the new Cross-Device Copy & Paste feature (sometimes called Clipboard Sync), you can copy and paste text or images effortlessly between your computer and your phone. And unlike system-level solutions, Remote Mouse breaks platform boundaries:
- Copy from Android and paste to Mac
- Copy from Windows PC and paste to iPhone or iPad
- Copy from phone to computer, or the other way around
No ecosystem lock-in. Just copy and paste.
