🏗 Getting Started with Development
1. clone the repository
2. Compile and run the application
First start will download JBR / gradle dependencies.
If you encounter the following error:
you might need a VPN to download these dependencies.
To configure a proxy for gradle, add the following settings to gradle.properties, and adjust the parameters to match your proxy configuration:
Additionally, a series of technical blogs about CrossPaste is being published (approximately one article per week). If you're interested in developing cross-platform applications, you're welcome to read them.
🌍 Building the Chrome Extension
The Chrome extension lives in web/ and is built via Gradle. Node.js (>= 18) is required — the npmInstall task will fetch dependencies on first build.
1. Build the extension
The unpacked extension is emitted to web/dist/.
2. Load it into Chrome
- Open chrome://extensions/
- Enable **Developer mode** in the top-right corner
- Click **Load unpacked** and select the web/dist/ directory
The extension auto-discovers a CrossPaste desktop app running on the same machine and syncs clipboard content with it. To iterate on extension code, run npm run dev inside web/ for a fast Vite dev loop, then reload the extension in Chrome. The extension imports a Kotlin/JS core library produced by ./gradlew :core:jsBrowserProductionLibraryDistribution (also run as part of :web:build) — re-run that task whenever you change core/ sources.
🗺️ Roadmap
CrossPaste is continuously evolving! **v2.2** brings a full command-line mode — copy, paste, and search your history straight from the terminal. Here's what we're working on next:
