FastCopy guide
Use FastCopy when sending yourself a message is too slow. Create a temporary online clipboard, open it on another device, copy the text, and move on.
Web FastCopy now supports text plus small file/image handoff. Larger files and group rooms are planned as separate storage-backed features.
Online clipboard tools are most useful when the text has a short job: a URL, a shell command, a meeting code, a pickup address, or a note you only need once. FastCopy keeps that flow focused instead of turning it into another notes app.
Create a clip on desktop and scan the QR code on your phone, or create it on mobile and enter the short code on your computer. Both paths stay browser-first, so there is no pairing or installation step.
The page keeps the tool at the top because the primary action is not reading an article; it is moving text. The guide below explains the workflow for people comparing online clipboard options.
The tool stays at the top so you can use it immediately. These steps explain the same flow for anyone comparing temporary clipboard options.
Paste the text you want to move: a link, command, address, code, note, or short snippet.
Generate a 4-digit or 6-digit short code. FastCopy also creates a QR code for mobile handoff.
Open FastCopy on the other device, scan the QR code, or enter the short code on the Find a clip page.
Copy the text and let the clip expire. Burn-after-read clips disappear after the first successful view.
Messaging yourself works, but it leaves a permanent thread of throwaway links and codes. FastCopy gives disposable text a dedicated path with expiry, short codes, QR codes, and no account requirement for simple text.
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.
You choose a short TTL between 10 and 60 minutes. Burn-after-read clips disappear after the first successful public view.
FastCopy currently supports text up to 20,000 characters. Files, accounts, and history are reserved for future versions.
No. The web flow works in modern browsers on phones, tablets, laptops, and desktops.
Clip view pages are marked noindex and blocked from crawling through robots.txt.
