FastCopy guide
Mac and Android clipboard sharing
FastCopy is a simple way to move text between a Mac and Android phone when native clipboard sync is not available.
No loginShort codeQR codeTemporary text
Web FastCopy now supports text plus small file/image handoff. Larger files and group rooms are planned as separate storage-backed features.
No account for simple text
The core text flow stays anonymous. Accounts are reserved for future advanced features such as files, API keys, and history.
A practical bridge
It is not a replacement for a full sync daemon. It is a lightweight bridge for the exact moment you need text on another screen.
How it works
The tool stays at the top so you can use it immediately. These steps explain the same flow for anyone comparing temporary clipboard options.
- 1
Paste the text you want to move: a link, command, address, code, note, or short snippet.
- 2
Generate a 4-digit or 6-digit short code. FastCopy also creates a QR code for mobile handoff.
- 3
Open FastCopy on the other device, scan the QR code, or enter the short code on the Find a clip page.
- 4
Copy the text and let the clip expire. Burn-after-read clips disappear after the first successful view.
Best for
- Mac links for Android
- Android notes for Mac
- Commands and setup text
- Temporary addresses or map coordinates
FastCopy vs full clipboard sync apps
Full sync apps can be powerful but require installation and permissions. FastCopy is a zero-install web bridge for text you explicitly choose to send.
Privacy and expiration
FastCopy is built for disposable text transfer, not permanent storage. Temporary clip pages are marked noindex, robots.txt blocks the clip view path, text is escaped before display, and anonymous clips can expire quickly or burn after the first read. Use it for convenience, but avoid sending passwords, private keys, or sensitive personal data through any temporary web clipboard.
Questions people ask
Can I share from Mac to Android without installing software?
Yes. Open FastCopy in your Mac browser, create a clip, and scan the QR code on Android.
Is the clip permanent?
No. FastCopy clips are temporary and can be configured to burn after the first read.
Can Android create the clip first?
Yes. Create it on Android and enter the short code on Mac.
Does it need the same Google or Apple account?
No account pairing is required for the web flow.
