What is an online clipboard?

An online clipboard is a web-based tool that lets you temporarily store and transfer text or links between different devices — no accounts, cables, or apps needed. Airclippy is a free online clipboard that works entirely in your browser, making it the simplest way to share text online.

How do I share text online for free?

Just type or paste your text into Airclippy, choose whether to share it on your local network or globally, and hit Share. Your text is instantly available on any other device. It's the fastest way to share text online free — no sign-up, no login, no hassle.

How does Airclippy work as a web clipboard?

Airclippy is a web clipboard that syncs content in real time using your IP address (for network sharing) or globally. Paste your content on one device and it immediately appears on your other devices. Think of it as an online copy paste tool — paste on your PC, grab it on your phone.

Can I do copy paste online without creating an account?

Yes! Airclippy requires zero sign-ups. It's a true copy paste site — open it, paste your text, and share. No passwords, no email, no friction. It's the cleanest online copy and paste experience available.

How long does content stay on the clipboard online?

Shared content expires automatically after 1 hour. This keeps things clean, secure, and private. If you need to share again, simply re-paste. Your online clipboard content stays temporary by design.

Is Airclippy a free text sharing website?

Absolutely. Airclippy is a completely free text sharing site with no hidden fees, no premium tiers for basic use, and no ads cluttering your workflow. It is a copy paste text online tool built for speed and simplicity.

What makes Airclippy different from other text sharing sites?

Unlike other text sharing websites, Airclippy supports end-to-end encryption, file attachments, PDF generation, QR code export, and both local-network and global sharing modes — all without any login. It is more than just an online copy tool; it is a full clipboard online experience.

How do I share text via link?

Switch to "Global" mode before sharing, then any device that visits Airclippy in global mode can see your shared content. For a text share via link experience, share the Airclippy URL — the recipient opens the global feed and finds it instantly.

Is my data private and secure?

Yes. Network-mode shares are scoped to your IP address so only devices on your connection can see them. Global shares are temporary and expire after 1 hour. You can also enable end-to-end encryption for sensitive text — your content is encrypted before it ever leaves your device.

Can I use Airclippy to copy paste text online between phone and PC?

That's exactly what Airclippy is built for. Open airclippy.com on both your phone and PC, paste text on one, and instantly access it on the other. It's the easiest online text share workflow for everyday cross-device tasks.

What is AirClippy's URL shortener?

AirClippy's URL shortener is a free online tool that converts long web addresses into short, shareable links. Paste any URL at airclippy.com/url-shortener and get a compact link instantly — no signup required. It runs in your browser for privacy and works on mobile and desktop.

Is the URL shortener free to use?

Yes. The AirClippy URL shortener is completely free with unlimited link shortening. There are no premium tiers, no watermarks, and no account required. Shorten as many URLs as you need for social media, email, QR codes, and messaging apps.

Is my URL data stored when I use the shortener?

URL shortening happens locally in your browser. Your original URLs are not uploaded to a server, which keeps your links private. Copy the generated short link and share it immediately — your data stays on your device during the shortening process.

What is AI Context Vault?

AI Context Vault is AirClippy's free private storage for AI chat context. Save conversation threads, create API keys, and hand off scoped share tokens to third-party AI agents. It keeps your chat history separate from the public clipboard feed and is designed for developer and agent workflows at airclippy.com/ai-context.

Is AI Context Vault free?

Yes. AI Context Vault is free to use after signing in. The free tier includes up to 50 private contexts, 10 API keys, a 7-day default TTL (max 30 days), and scoped share tokens with read, append, and write permissions. See the API docs at airclippy.com/ai-context/docs for full limits.

How do I share AI context with an agent?

Save your chat context in AI Context Vault, then mint a scoped share token with read, append, or write permissions and an expiry time. Give the token to your agent — it can pull context via GET /api/v1/share/actx_sh_… without needing your API key. Agents can also append messages back to the thread if you grant append scope.

Is my AI chat context private in the vault?

Yes. AI Context Vault is private by default. Saved contexts never appear in AirClippy's global clipboard feed. Only you (via API key) or agents you explicitly authorize (via scoped share tokens) can access your stored chat context. You can delete contexts at any time from the dashboard.

How long does the content need to last? Under 1 hour → Online clipboard Days to weeks → AI Context Vault ### 2. Who needs access? Just your devices → Online clipboard AI agents via API → AI Context Vault Other people temporarily → Online clipboard (global mode) Third-party agents with controlled access → AI Context Vault (share tokens) ### 3. What format is the content? Plain text, links, files → Online clipboard Structured chat messages with roles → AI Context Vault ### 4. Do you need an API?

Paste the URL, open AirClippy on your phone, copy it. Done in seconds. Or use the URL shortener at airclippy.com/url-shortener for a compact link you can type or share via QR code. ### "I finished a Cursor session and want another agent to continue" Save the conversation to AI Context Vault. Mint a share token with read plus append scope. Give the token to the next agent. ### "I want to share meeting notes with my team right now" Use the online clipboard in global mode or share via link. Notes expire after 1 hour, keeping things clean. ### "I need my CI pipeline to store AI analysis results" Use AI Context Vault with an API key. Your pipeline saves context via POST /api/v1/contexts and a review agent pulls it later via share token. ### "I want to store reusable prompt templates" AI Context Vault is ideal. Save prompts as system messages in a context, tag with metadata, and pull them via API whenever needed. ## Using Both Tools Together AirClippy's tools complement each other in multi-step workflows: 1. Draft content in the online clipboard for quick editing across devices 2. Save the final structured conversation to AI Context Vault 3. Shorten the project URL with the URL shortener for sharing 4. Generate a QR code for the short link 5. Mint a share token so an agent can access the saved context Each tool handles a specific step without forcing one tool to do everything. ## Privacy Comparison **Online clipboard**: Network mode scopes content to your IP. Global mode is visible to anyone in global mode. Encryption available. Auto-expires in 1 hour. **AI Context Vault**: Private by default. Accessible only via your API key or explicit share tokens. Contexts expire after 7 to 30 days. You control deletion at any time. For sensitive AI prompts and proprietary project context, AI Context Vault is the safer long-term store. For quick, temporary text moves, the online clipboard with encryption suffices. ## Getting Started With Both - **Online clipboard**: Visit airclippy.com/share — no sign-in needed - **URL shortener**: Visit airclippy.com/url-shortener — instant link shortening - **AI Context Vault**: Sign in at airclippy.com/ai-context — save your first context - **API docs**: airclippy.com/ai-context/docs — integrate with your agents ## The Bottom Line The online clipboard is your fast, free, no-login tool for moving text between devices right now. AI Context Vault is your private, structured, API-driven store for AI conversation context that agents need over days and weeks. Use the clipboard for speed. Use the vault for persistence and agent workflows. Together, they cover every text and context sharing scenario AirClippy users encounter.
