clipboard-watcher

This repository contains the code of an experiment, in order to understand how hard would it be (if possible) to have an application that can monitor the access of other apps to the clipboard on Linux machines.

This app can also ask the user for permission before providing the clipboard contents.

At the moment it only supports desktop environments that use X.
