Send a link from your PC to your phone
Found something on your computer you want to open on your phone? Open a room in the browser on both, pair with a 6-digit code, paste the link on the PC, and tap it on the phone.
You're on your computer and you want to carry on with something on your phone — an address to open in Maps, a video to watch on the couch, a page to read on the train. Typing the URL by hand on the phone is tedious and error-prone, and messaging yourself the link clutters a chat. A shared room makes it one tap on the phone.
pastehere runs in the browser on both, so it works between any PC and any phone. Paste the link in the room on the computer, and on the phone it's right there to tap open — no account, no install, and it goes both ways if you want to push a link the other direction.
How to do it in three steps
- 1
Open a room
Go to pastehere.app in any browser and create a room. You'll get a six-digit code — no sign-up, nothing to install.
- 2
Pair the second device
Open the same site on the other device and type the six-digit code (or scan the QR) to join. The devices agree on a key directly, so the server never sees it.
- 3
Copy on one, paste on the other
Add text, a link, an image or a file on either device and it appears on the other within a second. Destroy the room when you're done.
Everything is encrypted in your browser with AES-256 before it leaves the device. Devices agree on the room key through a PAKE exchange over the 6-digit code, so the key never reaches the server — it only ever stores ciphertext.
Faster with a QR code
If the phone is right there, scanning is quicker than typing the code: pastehere can show a QR for the room, so the phone joins with a scan instead of six digits. Either way, once paired, links flow between the two until you close the room.
Not just links
The same room carries text, images and files, so the link you send can sit alongside a screenshot or a document. And because everything is encrypted in your browser with AES-256 before it leaves, even a private or one-time link stays between your two devices — the server only sees ciphertext.
Questions
How do I open a link from my computer on my phone?
Open a room in the browser on both, pair with the 6-digit code (or a QR scan), and paste the link on the computer. On the phone, tap it to open — no retyping.
Does this work with any browser and any phone?
Yes. It runs in any modern browser, so any computer pairs with any phone — iPhone or Android. Nothing to install, no account.
Can I send several links at once?
Yes. Add as many as you like to the room; they stack up on the phone to tap through. The room stays open until you close it.
