Trivial as in it works well sometimes and badly in other times with no explanation for why. That’s my experience anyway.

KDE connect over Bluetooth or WiFi seems ideal for this, so it's definitely possible. I am not sure how the iDevices deal with this, but I really don't want anything cloud-connected.

KDE Connect is more reliable than Continuity Clipboard, in my experience.

Tailscale drop is better and works across devices.
