ClipShare

A simple clipboard sharing tool for quickly copying text between devices.

Project overview

A weekend project that solves the hassle of transferring text between different platforms. As ClipShare works on the web, it will work across all operating systems and devices with an internet connection. Paste on one device, scan a QR code or open the link on another, and the text is ready to use.

ClipShare main interface

Quick transfer

Public clips appear in a shared feed for instant access, perfect for moving text between your own devices quickly.

ClipShare QR code feature

Private links

Generate unique URLs with memorable IDs (like "happy-turtle-42") and QR codes for sharing text privately, with configurable expiration times.

Technical implementation

Built on Cloudflare Workers and KV storage for automatic expiration and global availability. The app handles both public clips (one-time access via a shared feed) and private clips (shareable links with configurable TTL).

Developed with assistance from Anthropic's Claude AI for implementation and optimization throughout the process, while being designed by me.
