Sometime i want to send small messages between devices, such as a url, a note, a id, a token, a piece of code, a picture Especially send between phone and laptop.

Some chatting app have self messages such as telegram saved messages, slack (you), Microsoft team…

However i don’t want a bloated chat app that would took few hundred mb on phone, or required to install an app on my pc (linux which make many app broken). I don’t want work chat app too, because self messages can be seen and scanned by employer (yes, a security add on chatbot on slack warm me because i send something like password to myself on slack)

Something like Opera Flow would fit perfectly, but i don’t want opera browser.

    Signal. I use it anyway so it’s not an extra “bloated” app and I know all the secrets I send over the app are encrypted.

    If you use a password manager, most have a notes feature that works well too.

      +1 for Signal. It’s already on my phone, and already on my PC and laptop. It is a simple Flatpak install on Linux. It’s end-to-end encrypted. I use that for one-off notes and files between my phone and my PC or between my laptop and PC.

      For notes and small files that I know I’ll want to save to reference at another time, I put them in my KeePassXC database because that’s already set to sync between devices.
