Show HN: I built a universal clipboard that syncs realtime on multiple devices

https://www.quickclip.space/
15•imgopaal•2h ago
I’m Gopal, the guy behind QuickClip.

I built this out of pure frustration. Copying items between my phone and laptop was very painful. Sending notes and links on WhatsApp. Saving random drafts I’d forget about. It was total waste of time.

So I made QuickClip for myself first. A dead simple way to move text, links and images between devices instantly. No setup drama. No thinking. Fully encrypted

I use it every day. Shipping it publicly now to see if anyone else has the same problem.

Would honestly love to hear, how you move stuff between devices today, what’s broken or slow and what would make this actually useful for you

Happy to answer anything and take suggestions. Thanks for checking it out.

i know a gemini 3 site when i see one lol, looks good tho! Does this work if you copy an image on your phone/laptop, will it sync to the other device?
imgopaal•34m ago
Yes, It works smoothly with texts and images both

I did something similar with Claude code, I did not write a single line of code and it’s hosted on cloudflare workers. With the free tier it’s enough for one person (and I feel safer to own and host my private data). Works beautifully. Your website does not show how it works, no screenshots, it would be better with it

Thanks for your suggestions. Would work on it

The website does not show anything on how the product is used, which is kind of important for me as a potential customer. Especially if it's going to be effectively handling my copy/pasting of sensitive information.

Does it use some client, what do I need to install on my devices (if supported) and what permissions does it need etc? Instead I'm greeted by a login page.

It's not transparent enough for me how the product is used before signing up and that's a huge turn off.

Hi, Its a simple web application, nothing is required to install

So you copy/paste things into the app on one device then copy it from the app on another device?

KDE Connect works fine for me and does more than clipboard (files, mouse sharing etc.).
imgopaal•34m ago
great

For those of us on Linux, I've built clapboard - a lightweight clipboard manager that uses whatever dmenu-like system for GUI, and plain files as a storage backend. Because all the history is just files, you can easily sync it between devices with a tool like syncthing. Probably a bit more slower than 0.1s though!

I forgot that this was a problem for some. I’ve been op iPad iPhone and macOS for too long it guess.
imgopaal•18m ago
yup, thats still a nightmare for a lot of people
ValdikSS•28m ago
KDE Connect does that in LAN. Clipboard sync, file transfer, contacts, calls, remote control, etc.

> Would honestly love to hear, how you move stuff between devices today

In cases where iOS/macOS misbehave, I use (IMAP) email without sending anything:

- create new mail message

- paste text or add attachments

- save as draft

- open draft on other device

- copy out the data

- delete draft

Works reliably for not-too-large items

cool

.>client apps are not open source

.>data-deletion page seems to imply servers are storing images/files copied to the clipboard

.>"end-to-end encrypted" in the marketing materials.

Copy API keys

I would add examples how data encryption works. This is so sensitive topic. But if you explain it nicely, people could use the service.

I would add FAQ. Boxes seem like I can read more but I can’t.

imgopaal•10m ago
thanks, I would work on that

Funny, i want Apple to STOP synchronizing my clipboard between devices. I'm doing different things on them and I don't need the last piece of code on my desktop to paste in the 'where do we go out tonight' chat on whatsapp on my phone.

If I do want to move some info i'll message it to myself thank you.
