A shared clipboard without setup
Native shared clipboard features often need the same ecosystem, the same account, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or a background service. FastCopy uses a normal web link, short code, and QR code instead.
FastCopy guide
Shared clipboard between any devices
FastCopy is a temporary shared clipboard for everyday copy and paste jobs. Paste text once, then retrieve it from another device.
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.
Good for disposable collaboration
It can move a meeting link, a command, a config value, or a quick note between devices without creating a shared document or inviting people to a workspace.
Private by default for public pages
Anonymous clips are short lived, burn-after-read is enabled by default, and temporary clip pages are marked noindex so they are not meant for search traffic.
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
Shared clipboard vs shared documents
Shared documents are designed for collaboration and history. FastCopy is designed for quick text handoff where a permanent document would be too heavy.
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
Do I need an account to share clipboard text?
No. The core text flow is anonymous and temporary.
Can search engines index my shared clip?
Clip view pages are marked noindex, and robots.txt disallows the temporary view path.
Can I use a QR code?
Yes. Every created clip includes a QR code for faster phone-to-computer or computer-to-phone handoff.
Can multiple people open the same clip?
Only if burn-after-read is disabled. With burn-after-read enabled, the first successful public view consumes the clip.
