Keynou Clipboard is a free, real-time collaborative text editor that lets multiple people write together in the same text area simultaneously. It requires no login, no accounts, and stores no data — all text exists only in server memory during active sessions and is permanently deleted when sessions end. Users share a session link or QR code, and everyone who joins can type together with live cursors, per-user colors, and instant WebSocket synchronization. Unlike Google Docs or Notion, Keynou Clipboard leaves no trace: there are no databases, no files, and no logs of your text. It works in any modern browser, is PWA-enabled for mobile, and can be self-hosted on local networks for completely offline collaboration.
Write together with live cursors and per-user colored text. See changes instantly as your partner types. No refresh, no polling, no delays.
No accounts, no databases, no logs. Everything disappears when you refresh.

Most tools store your data and promise to protect it. We took a different approach: there's nothing to protect because there's nothing to store. Your text lives in memory, relayed in real-time between connected browsers. When the session ends, the data ceases to exist.
No databases to breach. No backups to leak. No logs to subpoena. The absence of storage is the absence of risk.
Your text never touches a database. It's relayed through Socket.io in real-time and exists only in the memory of connected browsers.
Close the tab or hit refresh and everything is gone. No history, no cache, no recovery. Truly ephemeral by design.
All traffic is encrypted end-to-end via HTTPS. Your text can't be intercepted in transit.
We don't read your content. We don't log your keystrokes. We don't sell your data. There's nothing to sell - it doesn't exist after you leave.

Yes. Keynou Clipboard is built with Next.js and Socket.io. You can deploy it on your own server, VPS, or even a Raspberry Pi for full control over your data.
There's no hard limit enforced by the app. However, since text is synced in real-time, extremely large documents may affect performance. For best results, keep sessions focused.
