6-digit retrieval code
Generate a short numeric code that can be typed on another device without sending yourself a long link.
Online Clipboard
Paste text, code, or Markdown, generate a 6-digit retrieval code, then open it from another phone, laptop, or browser with the code, link, or QR code.
Move notes, URLs, commands, code snippets, and Markdown between devices without installing an app.
Entries expire after 1 hour, and self-destruct helps keep one-time transfers short-lived.
- Transfer text from computer to phone without email
- Share code snippets with syntax-aware viewing
- Retrieve with a 6-digit code, link, or QR code
How to use Online Clipboard
This flow is designed for quick cross-device text sharing. Create the clipboard entry on one device, then retrieve it on another before the 1-hour expiry window ends.
- 1
Paste the text you want to move
Add the note, URL, command, code snippet, Markdown draft, or other short text you need on another device. Keep the entry focused so it is easy to review after retrieval.
- 2
Choose the right content mode
Use plain text for notes and links. Switch to code or Markdown when you want the retrieved content to be easier to read before copying it into an editor, terminal, chat, or document.
- 3
Generate the clipboard code
Click the send button to create a 6-digit code, a shareable link, and a QR code. Copy the code or open the QR code on the receiving phone, tablet, laptop, or browser.
- 4
Retrieve and copy the result
Enter the code on the receiving device, review the returned text, then copy it into the app where you need it. If self-destruct is enabled, the entry is removed after the first successful view.
QR code and shareable link
Open the same clipboard entry by scanning a QR code, copying a link, or entering the retrieval code manually.
Text, code, and Markdown modes
Share plain text, review code with syntax highlighting, or render Markdown before copying it into the final destination.
Temporary 1-hour storage
Clipboard entries are short-lived by default, which fits quick handoffs between your own devices or a trusted recipient.
Optional self-destruct
Turn on self-destruct when a clipboard entry should disappear after the first successful retrieval by the intended recipient.
Recent code history
The browser can keep a small local history of recent generated codes so repeat transfers are easier to reopen during the same workflow.
Online Clipboard privacy and processing
Because this is a shared web clipboard, text leaves the current browser to create a temporary retrieval code. Use it for short-lived transfers, not confidential storage.
Processing Temporary server storage
Online Clipboard sends the pasted text to Rune's server storage so it can generate a 6-digit retrieval code, shareable link, and QR code for another device.
Storage 1-hour expiry
Shared clipboard entries are temporary and expire after 1 hour. Recent codes may also be saved in this browser's local history so you can reopen them faster.
Account Not required
Online Clipboard works without sign-in for quick transfers. Anyone with the active code or link can retrieve the shared text until it expires or self-destructs.
Before You Use Online Clipboard
Online Clipboard is useful for temporary transfers, but it is still a web-based sharing tool. Review these limits before pasting private or business-critical content.
Privacy
The text you paste is sent to server storage so another device can retrieve it with a code or link.
Do not paste passwords, API keys, recovery phrases, financial records, medical details, client secrets, or anything that needs permanent access control.
Retrieval
Clipboard codes are 6 numeric digits. Copy or type the code carefully, especially when sharing it over a call or moving between devices.
Entries expire after 1 hour, and self-destruct removes an entry after first successful retrieval.
Compatibility
Use plain text for quick notes and links, code mode for snippets, and Markdown mode when headings, lists, or formatting matter.
The tool is browser-based, so retrieval works best in a current mobile or desktop browser with network access.
Output
Review the retrieved text before pasting it into a terminal, code editor, support chat, CMS, document, or public post.
Keep the original text available until you confirm that line breaks, links, punctuation, and formatting survived the transfer.
Limits
Each Online Clipboard entry supports up to 50,000 characters and does not upload files.
Generated code history is stored locally in your browser for convenience and can be cleared from the page.
Questions about Online Clipboard
What is an online clipboard?
An online clipboard is a temporary web clipboard that lets you paste text in one browser and retrieve it from another device with a code, link, or QR code.
How do I share text between my phone and computer?
Paste the text into Online Clipboard, generate the 6-digit code, then open Rune on the other device and enter the code. You can also scan the QR code or open the generated link.
Does Rune Online Clipboard require an account?
No. You can create and retrieve temporary clipboard entries without signing in, as long as the code or link is still valid.
How long does shared clipboard text stay available?
Entries expire after 1 hour. If self-destruct is turned on, the entry is deleted after the first successful retrieval and cannot be opened again.
Can I share code snippets or Markdown?
Yes. Use code mode for syntax-aware viewing, Markdown mode for formatted notes, or plain text mode for links, commands, short messages, and basic copy-paste transfers.
Is Online Clipboard safe for passwords or private keys?
No. Treat Online Clipboard as a temporary transfer tool, not a secret manager. Do not paste passwords, private keys, recovery phrases, API tokens, or sensitive client data.
