Clip

200 KB. Clip is built for text and small files: licenses, screenshots, notes. For large files a specialised service works better, or simply Google Drive or OneDrive.

Fifteen minutes by default. You can pick five, thirty or an hour when creating it, or type any value between 60 and 3600 seconds under advanced options. When the time is up, the server closes the room and disconnects anyone still inside.

Your content is encrypted in your browser before it leaves, and the server stores nothing: it only relays illegible bytes to whoever is connected at that moment. But it is worth being exact, because the difference matters here: the six-character code is both the encryption password and what carries the message to your room, so it does pass through the server. A server that wanted to read it would hold both halves. We are not going to promise you technical impossibility while that is the case. For a bank password or a recovery key, read the characters out over the phone.

You find out. The page sends a heartbeat every fifteen seconds and waits ten for the answer; if one fails it says so in grey without cutting anything, because a slow answer is usually just a bad network. If the next one fails too, it treats the connection as dropped and reconnects. Forty seconds in the worst case. And when you hit send, the “sent” message only appears if the server confirms it received it: if it never arrived, we tell you it never arrived.

Yes. Each device connects to the server on its own; there is no direct connection between them that a firewall or NAT could block. It works between WiFi and mobile data, and between countries.
