For the text in your hand right now
Sometimes you only need to move one thing: a link from your phone, a command from your laptop, or an address from a desktop browser. FastCopy keeps that transfer lightweight.
FastCopy guide
Send text between devices instantly
FastCopy gives you a browser-first way to send text between devices when native clipboard sync is unavailable or too slow to set up.
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.
Works across device mixes
Use it with iPhone and Windows, Android and Mac, Linux and mobile browsers, or any other combination that can open a modern web page.
No inbox clutter
Instead of emailing yourself or creating another chat message, use a temporary clip that can expire soon after the transfer.
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
- Links you need on another screen right now
- Terminal commands and config snippets
- Addresses, coordinates, invite codes, and meeting links
- Short notes that should not become permanent history
Text transfer vs full sync
Full clipboard sync is powerful, but it is not always available or appropriate. FastCopy is a manual, deliberate handoff for text you 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 send text without installing an app?
Yes. Both devices only need a modern browser.
Does the other device need to be mine?
No account pairing is required. Anyone with the short code or link can open an active clip, so share codes carefully.
Can I send long text?
The current text limit is 20,000 characters.
Can I send text both directions?
Yes. Create the clip on whichever device currently has the text.
