It also now supports Apple Watch.

Chuck has been captured by an evil monkey ring master. To escape from the circus, you must help Chuck perform pool diving tricks while catching bugs along the way. While Chuck is on his platform, you’re required to move a wide variety of objects to ensure he safely lands in the pool.

From there on, your Mac’s and your iDevice’s clipboards will be perfectly in sync. This allows you to move text, photos, screenshots, URLs, and anything else between your Apple devices.
