Install

Android

1. Download ZevClip-Android-1.5.0.apk.

3. Allow install from unknown sources if Android asks.
4. Open ZevClip and enable the requested permissions:
   • Accessibility for Android → Mac clipboard sync.
   • Notification access for notification mirroring.
   • Phone permissions for call controls.
5. On some phones, enable Auto-start or unrestricted battery for ZevClip so it can restart after reboot.

macOS

1. Download ZevClip-macOS-1.5.0.zip.
2. Unzip it.
3. Move ZevClip.app to /Applications.
4. Open it from Finder. If macOS warns because it is not notarized, right-click the app and choose Open.

Pairing

1. Open ZevClip Settings on the Mac.
2. Open ZevClip Settings on Android.
3. Tap Scan Mac QR on Android.
4. Scan the QR shown on Mac.

Both devices must be on the same Wi-Fi/LAN, or the Mac can be connected to the phone hotspot.

Known Limitations

• Text clipboard sync is supported. Image clipboard sync is planned for a later version.
• The macOS app is ad-hoc signed but not Apple notarized because no Developer ID certificate is available in this build environment.
• Traffic is local HTTP protected by a pairing token, not end-to-end encrypted transport.
• Some Android brands may still block reboot autostart unless Auto-start or unrestricted battery is enabled manually.
• Bonjour discovery can fail on networks with client isolation enabled; manual IP setup remains available.

Checksums

Android status notification switches to Not connected when the Mac app is closed, offline, or stale, and hides Mac battery in that state.
Android notification status now expires locally after the Mac heartbeat window, so stale connected text does not stay forever.
Mirrored Android notifications on macOS no longer open ZevClip Settings when clicked.
Mac battery percentage is wired into the Android notification using the existing low-frequency status heartbeat.
Still Included

Bidirectional text clipboard sync between Android and macOS.
Same-Wi-Fi, LAN, and phone-hotspot operation.

Android notification mirroring to native macOS notifications.
Android call mirroring controls on macOS.
Not Included Yet

Image clipboard sync is still planned for a later version.
Signing Notes

macOS build is ad-hoc signed with hardened-runtime options, so it is suitable for local use and direct sharing, but it is not Apple-notarized.
Android build is the release variant and is signed with the same local certificate used for v1.2.0, so it should upgrade over that sideloaded build without uninstalling.
