Hey Product Hunt community! 👋
I built AirClip out of a simple, daily frustration: how painful it still is to move a snippet of text, a raw photo, or a video between my phone and my laptop.
Like many of you, I was constantly:
• Texting myself links or code snippets on WhatsApp / Telegram
• Emailing files to myself just to get them onto another computer
• Dealing with AirDrop failing across different platforms (Mac, Windows, Android, iOS)
• Hesitant to trust third-party clipboard apps with access to sensitive passwords, tokens, and personal media
AirClip solves this with a radical engineering philosophy: "Bring Your Own Storage (BYOS)".
Here is how it works under the hood:
🔑 Zero Central Database: There is no server-side database, no tracking proxy, and zero clipboard bytes ever pass through our servers. Everything syncs directly between your browser and your personal Google Drive API.
🔒 Strict Minimal Permissions: It requests only the `drive.file` scope—meaning it can ONLY access files created by AirClip itself. It cannot read, view, or touch anything else in your Drive.
⚡ Live Auto-Copy: Text or links sent from your phone instantly appear on your laptop and can automatically copy straight to your clipboard.
📸 Original Quality: Full-res photos and 4K videos sync with zero compression up to your Google Drive quota.
🎙️ 100% On-Device AI Voice: Voice notes are recorded at studio 48kHz quality and transcribed locally on your device’s CPU using Whisper WebAssembly. Your audio never touches a cloud AI server.
💻 Install Anywhere: It runs as an offline-first PWA with 0ms local boot on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, and iOS.
AirClip is 100% free-forever.
I'd love for you to give it a spin, test it across your devices, and share your raw feedback, thoughts, or feature requests! What's the biggest pain point in your daily cross-device workflow? 🚀
