Try it on two PCs

Same installer.
Both computers.

Version 1.0.7 remembers your keyboard/mouse and clipboard sharing switches, so you do not have to turn them on again every time you start the app. Turning a switch off is remembered too. After upgrading, enable your preferred switches once on each PC; future starts restore those choices automatically. Pause and tray Exit do not erase them. Settings includes a confirmed reset that turns off only these two switches. Exit the app from the tray before updating both PCs; saved pairing and settings are kept. Push through the chosen screen edge to switch PCs. In Settings, choose a simple glow, burst, jelly effect, or gravity wave for the brief edge cue—or turn it off. Your choice stays selected when you reopen the app. Two-PC screen crossing has been tried, but keyboard behavior and long-running reliability still need more hands-on testing. File and folder sharing has passed automated tests, but real Explorer copy-and-paste on two PCs has not yet been confirmed. Start with disposable files and save your work before trying keyboard and mouse sharing. Install it on two Windows 10 or 11 x64 PCs on the same private Wi-Fi or Ethernet network.

The idea

Keep both computers.
Lose the friction.

PebblePasteX is a separate desktop app, not another setting inside PebblePaste. The simple copy tool stays simple; this one can grow into a focused two-computer workspace.

01

Find the other PC nearby

Install the app on both Windows PCs on the same local network. Each person must approve the first connection after checking the matching six-digit code.

02

Choose where the other screen sits

Pick left, right, above, or below. Turn on keyboard and mouse sharing, then move the pointer toward that edge to cross over. You can choose an edge cue in Settings or turn it off.

03

Copy text, files, and folders

Turn on clipboard sharing on both PCs; this choice is remembered for the next app start. Copy text or select files and folders in Windows Explorer, then paste on the other PC. Images copied directly from an editor and clipboard history are not supported.

04

Stay in control

Pause sharing from the window or tray. Ctrl + Alt + Shift + Esc is the local emergency shortcut; a dropped connection is designed to release held keys and mouse buttons.

Private by design

Your desk is
the whole network.

Pairing, control messages, and shared files use encrypted connections between two approved PCs on the same local network. No account is needed, and the app is not designed to send your work through a HandyPebble server.

Windows sign-in screens, secure desktop prompts, and elevated apps may not accept remote input. Those limits will be stated plainly before release.

Good to know

A few practical answers.

We are keeping this version focused on two Windows computers and everyday desk work.

How do I start on two PCs?

Run the same installer on both PCs. Open PebblePasteX on each one, compare the six-digit pairing code, and approve on both screens. Choose where the second screen sits, then enable keyboard and mouse sharing on both PCs. Start with an empty document or other noncritical work.

How do I get local control back?

Press Ctrl + Alt + Shift + Esc on the keyboard attached to the local PC. You can also pause sharing in the app or tray. Please tell us if any key or mouse button stays held after a disconnect.

Do I need an account or internet connection?

No account or cloud workspace is needed for local use. The two PCs must reach each other on the same private local network. If Windows asks for firewall access, allow Private networks only.

Can I copy files between PCs?

Version 1.0.7 can share files and folders copied in Windows Explorer when clipboard sharing is on at both ends. This path still needs a real two-PC Explorer test, so start with disposable files and check the pasted results. Images copied directly from an editor are not supported.

Do I have to enable sharing every time?

No. Version 1.0.7 remembers the last keyboard/mouse and clipboard sharing switches on each PC, including switches you turned off. First-time setup keeps sharing off until you enable it. Pause and tray Exit leave your choices intact. Use Settings → Reset sharing switches to turn both off without deleting pairing or other preferences.

Which computers can use it?

This build targets Windows 10 and Windows 11 on x64 PCs. macOS and Linux support are not part of this version.

What happens if the connection drops?

The app is designed to return input to the local PC and release held keys or mouse buttons. That behavior still needs further verification during longer two-PC sessions.

Development status

Built carefully, tested honestly.

Device discovery, two-sided code verification, encrypted pairing, reconnect, mouse and keyboard routing, text and file clipboard sharing, and tray controls are implemented and have passed isolated local tests. Screen crossing has also been tried on two PCs. File and folder paste in Windows Explorer, keyboard behavior, and long-running reliability still need more physical two-PC testing.
