sound familiar?
From PC to Mac, from phone to PC, from one to all: Copy 42 sends your clipboard, photos, files and whole folders directly over your Wi-Fi. No detour via a messenger, no emailing yourself, nothing gets shrunk without asking.
↑ no account, no cloud – phone app free
Photos via messenger, files emailed to yourself, retyping text: everyone knows it. Copy 42 turns it into a single move – and only makes photos smaller if you want it to.
How it used to be …
… and how it is with Copy 42.
and all of this goes across:
Copy on the PC, paste on the Mac. Text and images arrive in about a second – without any extra step.
Ctrl+C here → ⌘V there
Copy 42 remembers your last five copies – images too, and also what came from your other devices. Press Ctrl+Alt+V, pick a number, paste.
At full size, bit for bit – HEIC and RAW too. Or have them scaled down as JPG while sending:
Just drag them onto the window. Even huge files and folders with subfolders. If the Wi-Fi drops, Copy 42 picks up where it left off.
Tick devices in the window – and it goes to one, two or five at once. You can see straight away which devices are switched off.
Encrypted from device to device, only on your Wi-Fi. No account, no cloud. New devices only join with a code, and Copy 42 doesn’t even send on passwords from your password manager.
psst … the one question:
How does the photo get from your phone to the PC? The text from the laptop to the Mac? The folder to all computers at once? There is one answer to all of this – and it’s 42.
Copy 42 – more than just the answer to everything.
You decide with a tick who gets what. The same file then lands on all of them at once – on Windows, Mac and Android, and soon on the iPhone too.
drag once, there everywhere!
new: for visitors and the office
Someone just needs a file from you? As a guest, their device swaps files with your one device only. They can’t see your other devices and never get your clipboard. The connection then ends by itself, or you end it right away.
Files only, with one device only, never the clipboard. Ends by itself after 1 hour, 24 hours or 7 days.
Swipe left on the phone, right-click on the computer. The device disappears from all your devices and can only return with a new code.
Nobody joins unnoticed: both devices show the same code, and only the confirmation connects them. A device that joins through another one receives nothing until you tick it.
On every computer that should join in – Windows or Mac. The free app on your phone.
Both devices show the same code – confirm it once, and from then on they find each other by themselves.
