I've seen a few products like this before (e.g. PushBullet, Clips, Scribe, Command-C) but Pasteasy cuts out all the steps by automatically forwarding copied text or photos between devices. I didn't know this was technically possible on iOS.
@rrhoover The advantage of Pasteasy is that it works via "copy here, paste there" paradigm -- you can paste the copied content to any app or folder on the receiving device without interacting with Pasteasy. Also it works in real-time since it uses local WiFi for speed, so it gives a pleasant user experience.
@eengarde While Pasteasy currently supports real-time copy-paste of text, photos, screenshots and camera shots between devices, you will soon be able to copy-paste files too.
Report
This would be fantastic if it was native to iOS and would be a great fit to Apple's continuity.
It's a bit of a hack how this is implemented on iOS - running in background (and checking if paste buffer has changed - I'm guessing). Wonder what the impact on battery life is? If it's negligible, nicely done!
@adamcudworth Pasteasy uses Bluetooth LE and WiFi so the impact on battery life is minimal. Try connecting your iPhone and iPad via Pasteasy and leave them connected overnight -- there is hardly any impact.
I was in touch with the co-founders of this solutions who asked me to try it. i always was fascinated by this problem.
5 years ago i launched what was probably the very first solution to do something like that, before airplay pushbullet and all (was called Pastefire). Would have probably ended up with something like that if we continued it.
The video demo looks great and efficient. I have a problem with the pricing at 4.99$ which seems a bit too high for me, considering free alternatives (with 1 more step or more). But you never know.
@ourielohayon Welcome your feedback and we are listening. There are free alternatives but none that give the fast, simple, convenient and smooth user experience that Pasteasy gives. The data is transferred locally from device to device in real-time, skipping the cloud and keeping it private. And the app works magically in the backgroud, requiring no extra clicks. You simply copy on the phone and paste on the computer. Boom! Try it and you'll never go back to the old ways.
@ourielohayon@bryceoflife Great feedback. Decided to offer a Pasteasy launch sale -- 60% off for a limited time -- @ $1.99. Will let you know how this changes the game.
