IcyZip
A private, end-to-end encrypted live text bridge for your devices. Scan the QR code with the other device, open the link in its browser, use the same text on both sides, and send a file only when needed.
Open-source end-to-end encryption
Our browser encryption code and runnable security tests are publicly available here. Anyone can inspect the code, run the tests and report a weakness.
Scan the other device's QR code
Open icyzip.com on your computer or other device. Scan its QR code here to share text and files. Keep both browsers open.
Scan this QR code with your other device
Open the link there to connect both browsers. Keep it private: anyone with the complete link can join this pair.

Copy text between phone and computer
How do I copy text from my phone to my computer?
Open IcyZip on one device, scan the QR code with the other device, open the link in its browser, then paste or type text into the shared live text field. The paired browser can copy it immediately.
Do I need an account or an app?
No. IcyZip runs in the browser. It pairs two browser views by QR code or link, without login, app installation, email, or cloud drive setup.
Is this mainly for files?
No. The main tool is the shared text field for quick notes, links, codes, and clipboard-style handoff. File transfer is available only as an optional action when both browsers are connected.
What does IcyZip store?
IcyZip stores pairing identifiers for reconnecting, but not your live text or received files on the server. Live text is end-to-end encrypted between the paired browsers; the server only relays ciphertext and can still see connection metadata such as time, IP-derived country, browser class, and message size. A browser tab may keep its current text locally so a reload does not lose it.
Browser storage settings
IcyZip uses no cookies. The tab keeps pairing data and the current text for reconnection and reload. Your language is remembered only when you change it using the language selector.
Optional: save the interface, fonts and icons in this browser until you disable the app cache or clear site data. This keeps the interface available offline; pairing and transfers still need internet access. Text, files and pairing keys are not stored in this cache.
