You're sitting at your laptop, your colleague is at the desktop PC next to you. You want to quickly send them a link, an address, a code snippet. What do you do? Email? Slack? Send yourself a message and then open it on the other device?
For such a trivial task, all of that is way too complicated. That's exactly why Shared Clipboard exists – a free tool that lets you share text (and files) between any devices. Right in the browser, no account, no installation.
How It Works
The concept is incredibly simple:
- Enter your text – Open clipboard.juergenkoller.software and type or paste your text
- Get a code – You receive a 6-digit code (e.g.
KX7-GM4) - Enter the code – Type the code on the other device – done
That's it. No login, no account, no app. Just open the browser, enter the code, retrieve the text.
When Is This Useful?
- Between two computers: Transfer a link, password, or address from your laptop to your desktop
- In a meeting: Quickly send someone a URL or code snippet without opening a messenger
- From phone to PC: Generate a code on your phone, retrieve it on your PC – or the other way around
- For customers: "Enter the code
ABC-DEF" – it doesn't get simpler than that - In support: Quickly exchange error messages, log excerpts, or configurations
Features
QR Code
After sharing, a QR code is automatically generated. Simply scan it with your phone – no need to type in the code at all.
File Upload
In addition to text, you can also attach a file (up to 1 MB). Drag & drop or click – the file is shared along with the text and can be downloaded on the other end.
Choose Expiry Time
Not every text needs to be available for 24 hours. You can choose between 1 hour, 6 hours, and 24 hours. After that, the content is automatically deleted.
One-Time Read
For sensitive content, there's the "Delete after one-time read" option. The text can be retrieved exactly once – then it's gone. Permanently.
Share a Link
Instead of sharing the code verbally, you can also copy the direct link. Anyone who opens it gets the content displayed immediately – without having to type in the code manually.
Security & Privacy
- No account: No registration, no email, no personal data
- Automatic deletion: All content is deleted after the chosen expiry time
- Rate limiting: Protection against abuse through request limits per IP
- HTTPS: Encrypted transmission between browser and server
- Servers in Germany: Hosted on our own infrastructure, no third-party cloud services
- No tracking: No cookies, no analytics tools, no logging of content
Free – And Why?
Shared Clipboard is completely free. No freemium, no "free but with ads." We develop productivity software for macOS and offer small, useful web tools for free – because we believe some things should just work without having to pay for them.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an account?
No. Just open the browser and get started.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. The site is fully responsive and works on any device with a modern browser.
How secure is the 6-digit code?
The code consists of letters and numbers (excluding easily confused characters like 0/O or 1/l). This results in over 700 million combinations. Combined with rate limiting (max. 10 retrievals per minute per IP) and automatic deletion, brute force is virtually impossible.
Can I also share files?
Yes, up to 1 MB per file. The file is attached alongside the text and can be downloaded on the recipient's end.
What happens after the time expires?
The content is completely and permanently deleted. There are no backups and no way to recover deleted content.
