How people use Clippy

Share code snippets

Move code between workstations without messaging apps or pasting into Slack threads that never disappear.

Send temporary passwords

Share credentials once with optional PIN protection or end-to-end encryption, then let them expire.

Move text between phone and desktop

Copy a link on your phone, open it on your laptop, and keep working instantly with real-time sync.

Share files temporarily

Send images, PDFs, and documents without creating permanent cloud storage links.

Team collaboration

Create shared clips that update in real time across your team — no installation required.

Why Clippy instead of chat apps or email?

No accounts. No conversations. No installations. Just a link.

Like a temporary Google Doc, but instant, private, and disposable.

When you need to copy between devices or share text online, you should not have to open WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, or email. Notes apps sync slowly and leave permanent copies. Clippy is a disposable clipboard built for one job: get content from A to B, then delete it.

What is Clippy?

Clippy is a free online clipboard and web clipboard that lets you share text online and copy between devices through a simple URL. Think of it as a temporary clipboard in the cloud: paste your content, share the link, and anyone with the URL can access it instantly.

Unlike traditional clipboard tools, Clippy supports clipboard sharing with real-time synchronization, optional PIN protection, and instant text sharing without creating an account. It works as a secure clipboard for sensitive data when you enable encryption or PIN locks, and as a disposable clipboard that cleans itself up after expiry.

Whether you need to move a snippet between your phone and laptop or share files online for a few hours, Clippy is built for quick, ephemeral transfers — not long-term storage.
