Getting started is simple! Visit the homepage and either create a new room or join an existing one. To create a room, click "Create New Room" – you'll receive a 6-character code. Share this code with your other devices or scan the QR code to connect them all together.

No! Pasterify doesn't require any registration or account creation. We believe in privacy and simplicity. Just open the site and start syncing – no email, no password, no personal information required.

1. Type or paste text in the input area on any device
2. Click "Send" or press Ctrl+Enter
3. The text instantly appears on all connected devices

• Ctrl/Cmd + Enter – Send the current text
• Ctrl/Cmd + N – Create a new room
• Ctrl/Cmd + J – Open join room dialog
• Escape – Close any open modal or sidebar

Yes! When creating a room, you have the option to set a PIN code. Anyone trying to join your room will need to enter this PIN first. This adds an extra layer of security for sensitive content.

Yes, there's a 100,000 character limit per message. This is more than enough for most use cases including long documents, code snippets, and articles. The character count is displayed in real-time as you type.

Yes! Pasterify is a Progressive Web App (PWA). You can install it on your device for quick access:

• Chrome/Edge: Click the install icon in the address bar
• Safari (iOS): Tap Share → Add to Home Screen
• Android: Tap the menu → Install app

Yes! All connections use secure WebSocket (WSS) over HTTPS, meaning your data is encrypted in transit. We don't store your clipboard content permanently – it's only held temporarily while your session is active.

Absolutely not. We don't permanently store your clipboard content, we don't track your usage patterns, and we certainly don't sell any data. Your privacy is our top priority. Read our Privacy Policy for complete details.

Rooms remain active as long as at least one device is connected. After all devices disconnect, the room data is automatically cleaned up after a period of inactivity. This ensures your data doesn't persist longer than necessary.

If you're having connection issues, try these steps:

• Make sure both devices are using the exact same room code
• Check that you have a stable internet connection
• Try refreshing the page on both devices
• Ensure your browser isn't blocking WebSocket connections
• Try a different browser if the issue persists

Make sure both devices show "Connected" status (green indicator). If one shows "Disconnected," try refreshing that page. Also verify that both devices are in the same room by checking the room code displayed on each device.

Pasterify stores a local clipboard history in your browser (up to 50 items). You can access this from the sidebar by clicking "History." However, if you clear your browser data or use an incognito window, this history won't be available.
