Send text and clipboard between devices
Upload the text to Pinfast, then copy it on the other device.
How it works
1. Upload the text on the device that has it. At pinfast.io, choose Upload text, or press Ctrl+V (Cmd+V on Mac) on your files page to paste it. The Pinfast apps for iPhone and Android can also upload text. When you upload, choose how long the text stays available: 3 hours or 24 hours.
2. To send what is on your clipboard, use clipboard upload in the Pinfast app for Mac (in the menu bar menu) or for Windows. If the clipboard holds text, the text upload window opens with the text already filled in. Check the text and upload it.
3. On the other device, open the Pinfast app, or open pinfast.io/your-username in a web browser and enter your 4-digit PIN. Press the copy button on the text. The text is now on the clipboard of that device.
Pinfast does not sync your clipboard automatically. Text moves only when you upload it and copy it on the other device.

Frequently asked questions
Does Pinfast sync my clipboard automatically?
No. Text moves only when you upload it. On the other device, you press the copy button to put it on the clipboard.
What if my clipboard holds an image or a file?
Clipboard upload in the Pinfast apps for Mac and Windows uploads it as a file instead of text. On the other device, you download it like any other file.
Can I copy the text on a device without the Pinfast app?
Yes. Open pinfast.io/your-username in a web browser, enter your 4-digit PIN and press the copy button on the text.
