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

The two browsers connect peer-to-peer over WebRTC after a brief handshake through Clipcroft's signaling server. 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.

The clipboard name is shared session state, not a user account. Pick anything memorable; if you want to lock it to just your devices, 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 refuses to handle.
• 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 everything stays inside the browser-to-browser connection (or, with a password, end-to-end encrypted), token-bearing URLs don't leave a trail in any inbox or chat history.

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). If you want even text routed end-to-end encrypted, set a clipboard password: that turns on AES-GCM encryption with a key derived locally in your browser, so only ciphertext leaves the device.

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.

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.
