Clipboard Monitor

This Python script monitors the clipboard for any changes and logs the clipboard content along with a timestamp to a JSON file.

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• pyperclip library
• scrcpy (for Android device screen mirroring)

You can install the required library using pip:

pip install pyperclip

You can install scrcpy by following the instructions on the scrcpy GitHub page.

Usage

1. Run the script:

   python app/main.py

2. Monitor the clipboard:

   • The script will start monitoring the clipboard for any changes.
   • When the clipboard content changes, it will append the new content along with a timestamp to app/clipboard_history.json.

3. Stop the script:

   • Press Ctrl+C to stop monitoring.

File Structure

• app/main.py: The main script that monitors the clipboard and logs changes.
• app/clipboard_history.json: The JSON file where clipboard history is stored.

Functions

monitor_clipboard()

• Monitors the clipboard for changes.
• If the clipboard content changes, it calls append_to_json() to log the new content.
• Runs indefinitely until interrupted by Ctrl+C.

append_to_json(content)

• Appends the given content along with a timestamp to app/clipboard_history.json.
• If the file does not exist or is empty, it creates a new JSON array.

Example

Here is an example of what the app/clipboard_history.json file might look like after running the script:

[
  {
    "timestamp": "2023-10-01T12:34:56.789123",
    "content": "First clipboard content"
  },
  {
    "timestamp": "2023-10-01T12:35:10.123456",
    "content": "Second clipboard content"
  }
]

Notes

• The script checks the clipboard every 500 milliseconds.
• Ensure you have write permissions to the app/clipboard_history.json file or the directory where it is located.
