What's the best way to transfer simple text between iPhone and Mac without all the continuity and security issues? (lemmy.world)

I'm not a user of Apple products. But KDE has developed a tool to share stuff locally.

https://kdeconnect.kde.org/download.html

The requirement is that both the devices should be in the same local network. Give it a try and provide your feedback.

Yes I should check that one out. I've had success using Sync to sync other dynamic files that I need to keep up to date but again, it can be a little clunky and it mostly works at the file level rather than random bits of text that aren't even technically at the level of a file (I don't think?)

You can share the clipboard. I always do it between mobile and Linux pc. I assume you can't keep the history of what you copied into the clipboard in Mac or iOS.
