What is tmps.fyi?
tmps.fyi is a free online clipboard. You put text, an image or a file in a temporary space on one device and open it on another.
It runs in the browser, so it works between Windows, Mac, iPhone, iPad and Android without an app or an account.
How do temporary spaces work?
You enter a name to create a space, then join it from another device with the same name, an invitation link or a QR code.
- Anything you add appears on every connected device in real time
- An optional password limits who can join
- Desktop users can capture a screenshot from the sharing toolbar
What happens to my data?
By default, a 10-minute inactivity countdown starts after the last device leaves. When it ends, the space and its stored contents are deleted.
The service is not end-to-end encrypted, so it is not the place for passwords, recovery codes or other highly sensitive information.
When is it useful?
It suits moving something between two devices when you do not want to sign in, install an app or keep the file afterwards.
- Test something from your computer on your phone
- Send a computer screenshot to your phone
- Move a link without leaving a meeting
- Transfer between Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android

How tmps.fyi compares
| Option | Best for | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| tmps.fyi | A quick transfer between any two devices with a browser, without an account | Spaces are temporary, so it does not replace storage |
| AirDrop | Moving files between Apple devices | It is not available for Windows or Android transfers |
| Google Drive | Keeping files long term and sharing them with permissions | Uploads, folders and sign-in add setup for a one-off transfer |
