#### Peer-to-peer local network text snippet and clipboard sync utility

Local Clipboard Sync is a desktop productivity utility for Linux that
synchronizes plain-text snippets and desktop clipboard buffers directly between
workstations on a local area network over HTTP JSON. A lightweight Linux
alternative to ClipNet for local network clipboard and text snippet sharing across
developer machines, it combines a built-in HTTP listener, manual peer push and
pull controls, and a persistent snippet history table.

Key Features:

* Direct Local Network Sync: Exchanges UTF-8 text snippets between paired
  workstations over local TCP HTTP JSON with configurable bind address, port, and
  shared pairing code.
* Desktop Clipboard & Manual Transfer Controls: Syncs text buffers with the Qt
  desktop clipboard or lets you push, pull, and ping peer endpoints on demand
  with round-trip latency measurement in milliseconds.
* Network Adapter Address Lookup: Reads Linux /proc/net/fib\_trie, /proc/net/dev,
  and /sys/class/net to list active local IPv4 addresses, adapter states, MTU,
  and ready-to-use peer endpoint URLs.
* Searchable Snippet History & Export: Keeps a timestamped UTF-8 snippet log with
  byte counts, line counts, transfer latency charts, and one-click CSV and JSON
  export.
