Send a Link Between Your Devices — No Email, No App

You're on your phone, you find an article you want on your laptop. Or a magic-login URL on your PC, and you need it on your tablet. The "email it to yourself" workaround is slow and clutters your inbox. Clipcroft sends the link in seconds, in any direction, between any two browsers — no app, no account, no email needed.

Why "email it to yourself" is slow

The self-email workflow has worked for twenty years, and it has aged poorly. From the phone, you copy the URL, switch to your mail app, compose a new message, address it to yourself, paste, send. On the laptop, you switch to your inbox, wait for the message to arrive (sometimes seconds, sometimes a minute), open it, copy the link out, and only then can you use it. Each step is small; the sum is annoying.

It also leaves a trail. Every "URL self-send" is one more inbox entry to archive or ignore later. If you're on a work email account, your IT log just got a tiny new line for a URL you didn't need to ship through corporate infrastructure.

How Clipcroft sends a link

Both browsers join the same clipboard through Clipcroft's real-time connection. The link itself — short text — is relayed through the server momentarily so it can reach the other browser, then dropped. No accounts, no logs, no inbox.

Clipcroft generates the clipboard name — a short word-based name like "coolfox07". Share it with whoever needs access; no account or login required. To lock the session to trusted devices only, set an optional password and the relay becomes end-to-end encrypted with a key derived locally in your browser.

Works in any direction, between any two browsers

• Phone → PC. Most common case. The link from your iPhone or Android lands in a browser tab on your laptop in seconds.
• PC → phone. The other direction. Useful when you have a magic-login URL on your laptop and need to open it inside the mobile app's webview.
• Laptop → tablet. Read-it-later-style — push the link to the bigger screen.
• Mac → Android, iPhone → Windows. Cross-platform combinations Apple's Universal Clipboard can't handle — it works only between Apple devices signed in to the same Apple Account.
• Public computer → your phone. Library / hotel computer where you can't log in or install. Open Clipcroft, paste, done.

Send to several devices at once

Clipcroft supports up to 20 devices on the same clipboard. Paste the URL on one and it shows up live on every other device in the group. Handy when you're juggling a phone, laptop, and tablet on the same desk.

Long URLs, tokens, and signed links

There's no practical length limit. Long shareable links, signed download URLs, magic-login tokens, and base64-stuffed query strings all transfer cleanly. Because the link is only relayed momentarily and then dropped — and, with a password, end-to-end encrypted — token-bearing URLs don't leave a trail in any inbox or chat history.

Your links stay in local history

Every URL you paste lands in the clipboard history of every device connected at the time. The history is stored in your browser — text and links live in localStorage, never in the cloud — and persists for 7 days by default. You can extend the retention window to 30 days or indefinitely, or clear items any time, in Settings.

Use Export content to bulk-export all saved URLs at once as a text file or HTML bookmarks file — useful when you've collected links across a session and want to save them all in one go.

Frequently asked questions

What's the fastest way to send a URL from my phone to my PC?

Open clipcroft.com on both devices, type the same short clipboard name on each, and paste the URL on the source device. The link appears on the destination in seconds. There is no signup, no email, and nothing to install.

Why not just email the link to myself?

Self-email works, but it's three taps on the phone, a wait for delivery, opening your inbox on the PC, copying the link, and ten seconds you didn't need to spend. Clipcroft is paste → done. It also keeps the link out of your inbox history if you'd rather not log it.

Does the URL go through Clipcroft's servers?

Short text — including a URL — is relayed through the server momentarily so it can reach the other browser, then dropped (no persistence). Set a clipboard password and that relay becomes end-to-end encrypted: a key is derived locally in your browser and everything is encrypted before it leaves the device, so the server only ever relays encrypted data.

Can I send a link to several devices at once?

Yes. Up to 20 devices can join the same clipboard. Paste the link on one and it appears live on every other device in the group. Useful when you have a phone, laptop, and tablet open at the same time.

Does this work for long URLs and tokens?

Yes. There is no length limit that matters in practice — long shareable links, magic-login URLs, and signed tokens all transfer cleanly.
