AdbClipboard is a small app on your smartphone that allows you to read/write the Android clipboard using adb.

Features

• Easy to use
• Very small app
• Does not request any permissions
• Python script on your PC to communicate with the app over adb (USB cable or Wifi for rooted devices)
• Works until Android 9. On Android 10, apps cannot access the clipboard anymore when being in the background.
