Universal clipboard for every device

Apple's Universal Clipboard is nice — if you only use Apple devices. But the moment you touch a Windows PC, a Linux machine, or an Android phone, it stops working. Pasteable is a universal clipboard that actually works across Mac · Windows · Linux · Android · Web · iPhone soon.
