Pin text or files across your devices.

Copy once. Paste anywhere. Pinstant captures what you copy — text, images, videos, files — into your private Ocalt namespace and makes it available on every device from a single floating pin.

Demo available · works with the Ocalt Client across Windows, Linux, macOS and Android

Try the demo See how it works

One pin. Every device.

No extra apps. No separate login. It lives inside the Ocalt Client and every Ocalt surface you already use.

Truly cross-device

Windows, Linux, macOS, Android — anything that runs the Ocalt Client. Mixed fleets included.

Everything is captured

Text, rich text, images, videos, files — anything the OS clipboard can hold.

Stored for real

Content is saved in your private namespace, not a temporary cloud cache. You control retention and location.

How it works

Three surfaces, one pinboard.

Copy on any machine

The Ocalt Client watches the system clipboard. On a successful copy, the real content is written under /root/pinstant/ or /mounted/pinstant/.

Open the floating pin

A red-and-silver pin sits on every Ocalt surface. Click it for the full timeline — newest first — with preview, copy, edit and delete.

Paste where you need it

Copy from the board with an origin marker so the watcher never double-pins. Paste on any device in the fleet.

Why Pinstant

Built for the friction you already know.

No duplicate noise Copying from the pinboard itself is marked and ignored by the watcher.
Mute a machine Stop capture from a device without removing it from the fleet.
Offline → online Capture locally when the Client is offline; sync when it reconnects.
Under your control Free tier uses root storage. Paid plans can use mounted storage. Delete anything, keep forever, or set limits.
Lives in the ecosystem No separate process, no third-party sync account — one platform that already knows your machines.

What you can pin

Text & code

Passwords, snippets, paths, notes — full text with soft edit in the timeline.

Images & media

Screenshots, photos, video clips and audio, stored as real binaries.

Files

PDFs, zips, anything the clipboard (or drag-and-drop) can carry.
