Features

Everything the pipe needs

Cinch is infrastructure for moving data between machines — starting with developers, extending to AI agents.

Unix-native

Reads stdin, writes stdout. No SDK, no clipboard API. Drop it anywhere in an existing shell pipeline.

Real-time delivery

WebSocket relay delivers clips the moment they arrive. No polling, no round-trips.

Self-hostable relay

Single Go binary. Deploy on any VPS, Fly.io, or Docker. Your data stays on your server.

Cross-platform CLI

macOS, Linux, Windows. If it has a shell, it works. Binaries available for all three platforms.

Desktop agent

cinchd lives in your menu bar. Every push lands in your system clipboard before you reach Cmd+V.

Open source

MIT licensed. CLI, relay, and protocol are fully open. Self-host for free, forever.
