How It Works

Two ways to sync your clipboard instantly — both faster than any cloud-based solution.

Method 1

Back Tap

Double-tap the back of your iPhone to instantly sync your clipboard. No app to open, no buttons to press — just tap and it's done.

1

Open Settings

Go to Settings → Accessibility → Touch

2

Find Back Tap

Scroll down and tap Back Tap

3

Set Double Tap

Tap Double Tap and select your Velocity shortcut

4

Done!

Now double-tap the back of your iPhone to sync instantly

Pro tip: Set "Double Tap" for one direction (iOS → Linux) and "Triple Tap" for the other (Linux → iOS).
Method 2

Home Screen Widgets

Add both shortcuts to your Home Screen for one-tap access. Faster than opening any app — just tap and done.

1

Long Press

Long press on your Home Screen until apps jiggle

2

Add Widget

Tap the + button → search "Shortcuts"

3

Select Velocity

Choose your Velocity shortcut from the list

4

Add Both

Repeat for both "Send to Linux" and "Receive from Linux" shortcuts

Bidirectional Sync

Velocity Bridge works both ways. Copy on iOS, paste on Linux — or copy on Linux, paste on iOS.

Copy anything on your iPhone, trigger the shortcut, and paste instantly on your Linux machine.

Linux to iOS

Copy on Linux, run the receive shortcut on iOS, and your clipboard is synced instantly.
