About

PigeonPost is a lightweight Windows 11 tray application that exposes a simple

local HTTP API for transferring files and clipboard content from any network-connected

device to your Windows PC. Any HTTP-capable client can use it — automation tools

like Android Tasker, command-line utilities like curl, scripts, or custom apps.

No cloud service, no account, no setup beyond the app itself.

Features:

- Local HTTP API on port 2560 — receive files, read and write the clipboard

- Bearer token authentication (optional)

- mDNS/Bonjour auto-discovery for iOS companion app

- Minimize to tray with live status indicator

- Auto-update via GitHub Releases

- Start with Windows option
