Simidude

Drag and Drop ANYTHING Between Different Computers

So, you're sitting at home working on your computer, and you need to transfer a file, web address, or even just a snippet of text to one of your other computers on the network. What do you do? You could try sending it over the network, and hope that your sharing and permissions settings are set up correctly. You could email it to yourself, logging into your email on one machine, logging out, and then logging into the destination machine. Or you could break out your flash drive and sneaker-net the stuff over to the other machine. Thrilling options, aren't they?

What if I told you that you could just copy it to your clipboard on one machine, then paste it from the clipboard on the other machine? Or, better yet, just drag and drop items between two completely different machines? Sounds awesome, yet implausible, right?

Simidude delivers exactly this functionality. Once you install Simidude, you'll be able to drag and drop files, folders, text, and HTML addresses between any of your computers, no matter if they're running Linux, Windows, or MacOS!

Simidude synchronizes your clipboards so items that you copy to one clipboard are instantly available on every other clipboard on the network. You can even use Simidude to drag files to and from Virtual Machine servers! Items can be dragged out of the Simidude window directly into applications to launch them. One of the most common situations involving machine-to-machine file transfers is with digital photos, and you'll be pleased to see that Simidude offers you a handy thumbnail image of every image file that you drag into it!

Simidude even maintains a running memory of the items that you've copied to the clipboard, making it easy to manage clipped items. For instance, if you've copied an item to the clipboard before, you don't have to do it again - just find it in your Simidude list and activate it. Plus, you can perform full-text searches through your clipboard items!

Oh, but there's one more thing -- Simidude is incredibly easy to use! It connects automatically to all running instances without the need to setup network connections, server ip addresses and the like.

AGYNAMIX Vendor - Dec 13 2011 at 6:43am
Tomasz Lisowski From the description above it looks like Simidude makes available EVERY item I copy to the clipboard on my first machine to the other machines. Usually I would not want this, keeping the Clipboard contents private (e.g. some logging data copied using software like KeePass), but when a need arises I would like to be able to share a copied item with the other machines.

Do I have to switch off and on the Simidude functionality to achieve this, or there is some easier way (e.g. a special key sequence to copy to the clipboard served by Simidude)?
Dec 14 2011 at 1:29am
Torsten Uhlmann Hi Tomasz,

in Simidude you have a toolbar button to switch clipboard monitoring on and off, this is probably what you're looking for. If switched off, clipboard items are not monitored in the local Simidude and thus not transfered to other machines.

But you cannot do is to monitor clipboard items locally but do not transfer them to connected machines.

Kind Regards,
Torsten.
AGYNAMIX Vendor - Dec 14 2011 at 12:59pm
Tomasz Lisowski Thanks Torsten for your reply. Is it possible to have a global hotkey assigned to switching the clipboard monitoring on/off? I think it is too tedious having to do the following:
1. Switch to Simidude and turn clipboard monitoring off
2. Switch to some other application (e.g. KeePass Password Safe), copy sensitive data using the clipboard
3. Switch to Simidude and turn clipboard monitoring back on.

Even if such a hotkey would be available, I am a bit concerned with the possibility of forgetting to turn Simidude off and exposing inadvertently sensitive data to the other machines ...
Dec 14 2011 at 1:14pm
Torsten Uhlmann Tomasz,

there is currently no hotkey for switching monitoring on and off, sorry.

Torsten.
AGYNAMIX Vendor - Dec 14 2011 at 1:47pm
Robin Edwards Looks great! As the point of this is to run on multiple machines, I assume if you buy a single licence, can you install it on multiple machines and platforms and the licence will cover all of that?
Dec 15 2011 at 12:52am
Torsten Uhlmann Robin,

you only need to buy one license per user, no matter how many computers that user connects.

Thanks,
Torsten.
AGYNAMIX Vendor - Dec 15 2011 at 1:13am
VLM Torsten,

Thanks for all your great comments/responses! I feel confused about one item. Above, you say there is no hotkey, but in the features list to the right of the BDJ screen, it says:

New Feature: Now supports global Windows (32-bit) hotkeys.

?? Thanks!
Dec 15 2011 at 5:05am
Torsten Uhlmann VLM,

Simidude supports 2 hotkeys, one for bringing up the Simidude window to the front, another one for pasting the latest entry into the clipboard.

It does however not support a hotkey to enable/disable clipboard monitoring.

Thanks,
Torsten.
AGYNAMIX Vendor - Dec 15 2011 at 5:09am
Bertie Brummel Got this fine tool during the last promotion here and I really like it.
Saves a lot of time when you're working with several PCs.
Dec 15 2011 at 5:20am
VLM Thanks Torsten. Suggestion: Add an internal hotkey to enable/disable clipboard monitoring. That way, one would only need 2 hotkeys:

1. bring up the window
2. enable/disable monitoring

Avoids global hotkey clutter while offering a reasonable solution for the keyboard-oriented among us.
Dec 15 2011 at 5:37am
Allan Winston Is 64-bit Windows 7 supported?

Also, looking at the forums, I notice there is an issue where there can be excessive memory being used. When this happens, can the software be easily stopped and restarted to free up the memory?
Dec 15 2011 at 5:49am
Torsten Uhlmann VLM, thanks for the tips!
Simidude is made to work in a local environment, not so much for crossing router boundries. So if you need a tool to work across networks I would consider something else.

If you can stay inside your own network then Simidude does not ship your data to any internet service thus protecting your privacy that way.

Torsten.
AGYNAMIX Vendor - Dec 15 2011 at 5:55am
Torsten Uhlmann Allan,

yes Windows 7 64-bit is supported. There is a special executable for that, but you can also run the 32-bit executable on Windows 64. I would encourage you to just go to simidude.com and download it and see if it works out for you before buying a license.

Simidude keeps clipboard entries in memory and that way the more entries you have the more memory is used. Simidude has an option to delete these entries either locally or on all machines. And if that is not enough, you can just exit it (Menu or CTRL+Q) and start again.

Thanks for your interest,
Torsten.
AGYNAMIX Vendor - Dec 15 2011 at 5:58am
Allan Winston Torsten, when you say that clipboard entries are kept in memory, does that include transferring files? If so, that would eat up a lot of memory. For instance, yesterday I was copying as much as 40 GB of files to an external hard drive. If that had been computer-to-computer, I guess all the memory would have been used up on an 8 GB machine.
Dec 15 2011 at 6:05am
Torsten Uhlmann Allan,

only clipboard entries are kept in memory. Files or folders that you track onto Simidude only link to the real file and only the name of the file and its place on the disk is kept in memory. If a file is transferred to another computer (you can let them be transferred automatically or you can manually initiate it) the bytes are read from disk, transferred and written to disk on the other side.

Simidude is well suited for transferring smaller files, but it's probably not the best option for shuffling a virtual machine image back and forth...

Torsten.
AGYNAMIX Vendor - Dec 15 2011 at 6:25am
Randy Martin I have an office computer and a laptop both of which are on my office network. If I am out at a client's office with my laptop and I want to transfer a file to my office computer, I will have to wait until I am back in my office and then I can drag it to my office desktop?

Will this work with an Android 3.1 Honeycomb tablet, also?
Dec 15 2011 at 6:44am
Torsten Uhlmann Randy,

Simidude only works within a local network, not across the internet. It also (I'm sorry) does not work with any other operating system than Windows, Mac or Linux, so no Android.

For your use case I would probably suggest trying DropBox as it is made to be used when you need to be mobile...

Thanks for your interest,
Torsten.
AGYNAMIX Vendor - Dec 15 2011 at 6:50am
Randy Martin I have dropbox and YouSendit.

I was looking for something easier.

To restate, when I return to my office, I can drag files between my laptop and desktop.
Dec 15 2011 at 7:03am
Torsten Uhlmann Randy, yes you can.

When you come back to your office, Simidude finds the office PC and then you can drag files from one computer to the other.

Torsten.

Frank Naundorf To copy Files with my wifes computer in my homenetwork, I Need 2 licenses?
Dec 15 2011 at 7:35am
Torsten Uhlmann Hi Frank,

you need only one license. If you would build a group of computers and your wife would, than I would appreciate two licenses. But per group of computers that are linked together, you only need one.

Kind regards,
Torsten.
AGYNAMIX Vendor - Dec 15 2011 at 7:42am
Randy Martin I downloaded version to try. I have a window with the clipboard info. Do I need to download on my home computer, too? How does my client on his network download a file from my simidude?
I can't find anywhere that really explains that.
Dec 15 2011 at 8:51am
Torsten Uhlmann Randy,

Simidude needs to be installed on every computer that you want send data from/to.

Also, all the computers you want to connect must be in one network. So if you look at the IP address of your computers, they must all start with the first 3 numbers (for instance 192.168.1.xxx).

If you visit a client and the client has a network which you do not join with your notebook (maybe because you're not allowed to) then you cannot use Simidude between your notebook and your client's computer. In this case you would need a tool like DropBox that synchronizes over Internet.

Thanks,
Torsten.
AGYNAMIX Vendor - Dec 15 2011 at 8:58am
DrTeeth I am a Simidude user and would also find an enable/disable hotkey handy.

Very helpful and pleasant developer.

Dec 15 2011 at 9:36am
Torsten Uhlmann Thanks!

I put this feature request into my todo list. I'm currently a bit (read: a lot) short on bandwidth, so it will have to wait a while...

Torsten.
AGYNAMIX Vendor - Dec 15 2011 at 9:41am
Prasad Paranjpe It would be a really good feature if the program could install itself across multiple machines on the same subnet. I assume that I would provide the installer with a network admin password and run it on a single machine. I am OK with checking off a list of ip addresses or machine names.

Although I am a home user, i have many, many machines. Some are real, some are virtual. If the installer was an msi then I would have some more flexibility to "push" the install to several windows machines.
Dec 15 2011 at 10:39am
Torsten Uhlmann Hi Prasad,

good suggestion! However Simidude is more geared towards home users and small businesses with a small (2-5) number of computers where this large office feature would be not used much.

Thanks,
Torsten.
AGYNAMIX Vendor - Dec 15 2011 at 11:21am
Torsten Uhlmann Prashad,

clipboard items are pushed from the Simidude that receives it to all other connected Simidudes, there is no server involved. That architecture is ok for small networks, it's not suited for a large number of machines. If you drag a file on Simidude, only the name of the file is transferred at first. When you request the file on one machine then it's transferred between the original and the requesting machine. You can set download also to automatic. That means files are always transferred to all connected machines.

Thanks,
Torsten.
AGYNAMIX Vendor - Dec 15 2011 at 11:26am
Roger McKeon Hi again Torsten,

Just to let everyone know that Simidude is a fantastic tool and the support absolutely unequalled.

I wish you the very best of luck, and thanks again for the follow-up.
Dec 15 2011 at 11:45am
Torsten Uhlmann Thank you so much for the kind words! I appreciate them very much.

Torsten.
AGYNAMIX Vendor - Dec 15 2011 at 11:55am
Rick Truell I also bought Simidude a while back, and it's one of the best software purchases I've made.

Torsten: Add my name to the list of those wanting a global hotkey to enable and disable Simidude...but I have a suggestion to extend that. Someone expressed the concern of forgetting to turn Simidude off and thus transferring sensitive info. If you do implement an enable/disable hotkey, I suggest you have it also modify the look of the system tray icon to indicate Simidue's state...perhaps a red slash through the icon to indicate that it's disabled. That way, a quick glance at the icon will show whether or not it's safe to use the clipboard for sensitive data.
Dec 15 2011 at 8:13pm
Torsten Uhlmann Rick, thanks for your suggestions. I add it to my list.

As to your other points. There are no plans for an iOs or Android or other mobile app right now, I'm sorry. I do see the advantage, and since I myself work with iPhone and iPad I would love to have it. But at this point I do not have the bandwidth to do this myself.

Thanks,
Torsten.
AGYNAMIX Vendor - Dec 15 2011 at 10:25pm
Tomasz Lisowski Great idea, Rick, about modifying the look of the Simidude icon, when the clipboard monitoring is disabled. Obviously, I am looking forward to having the hotkey and this idea implemented. In anticipation of that being done, I have bought the license :-)
Dec 15 2011 at 11:12pm

Dec 16 2011 at 12:01am
Nico Westerdale Yeah we can normally come up with something two minutes before the countdown expires at midnight, and I'm on the east coast too so that's 4am for me!
Bits du Jour Admin - Dec 16 2011 at 5:35am
Joshua Cearley I just tried the demo and am a little bit concerned; I had both computers set to /not/ automatically download the contents of a file, put a small zip file on the clipboard, cleared the table from one, and the second computer was still able to download the contents of the file even after it was no longer tabled (and was never set to download it automatically on its own.)

This makes me a bit concerned that one could use Simidude to siphon any file they want from your computer, since it doesn't appear to be respecting the original computer's tabling when allowing file transfers.
Yesterday at 7:19am
Torsten Uhlmann Joshua,

please note that it is not adviced to use Simidude in any open network. It is a simple solution for your home network when you work with multiple computers, not so much when people collaborate.

When you drag a file onto Simidude and disable auto transfer then only the path to the file is transferred. If you then delete your entries only locally that file path entry is still available on the remote computer and can be used there. You could use "clear table everywhere", which would remove the entry from all computers that are currently connected. However there is no way to revoke a Simidude entry.

But, on the other side, Simidude and all connected instances see only the files you put in there.

Kind regards,
Torsten.
