TL;DR
QuickClip is a web-based clipboard service that syncs copied content across devices in real time with end-to-end encryption. It offers a free tier with limited history and a $1.99/month Pro plan that expands storage, device count, file support and editing tools.
What happened
QuickClip is positioning itself as a universal clipboard that immediately syncs copied content across multiple devices using a web app. The site highlights a claimed sync latency of 0.1 seconds and says every item is encrypted on-device before it leaves, indicating end-to-end encryption. The product supports text, links, images and—on paid plans—file uploads such as PDFs and Word documents, plus previews. Pro features include a larger history (up to 110 items), unlimited devices, an advanced text editor with Markdown and find-and-replace, bulk download of files as ZIP, and multi-select/delete tools. The vendor markets use cases for developers, researchers, remote teams and students and advertises a free starter tier with basic sync and a Pro subscription at $1.99 per month. The site also promotes a trial that it says requires no credit card.
Why it matters
- Real-time cross-device clipboard can reduce friction when moving snippets, links or files between devices.
- End-to-end encryption aims to keep copied data private by encrypting content on the device before transmission.
- Web-based approach removes platform-specific app requirements and can work wherever a browser is available.
- Expanded Pro features (file uploads, extended history, bulk download) target power users and teams with heavier workflows.
