What it does
A quiet cross-device home for snippets too useful to lose and too small to turn into documents.
PasteVault
I got tired of messaging myself snippets of text just to move them from laptop to phone. PasteVault is what came out of that: an installable, searchable vault for text, code, links, and JSON. Everything is encrypted in the browser with AES-256-GCM before it syncs, so the server only ever stores ciphertext. Version 3 added device pairing: show a QR code and a one-time six-character code on one screen, scan or type it on the other, and the clipboard is there, kept in sync within a few seconds.
Problem
What it solves
Small, reusable text ends up scattered across chat threads to yourself, sticky notes, and half-remembered files, which makes it unsearchable and eventually untrustworthy. Moving it between devices usually means trusting someone else's server with the plaintext.
Solution
How it works
Encrypt in the browser, make the clipboard a link, and pair a second device with a QR code or a one-time code instead of an account. Sync sends ciphertext only, and polls with the version it already has so unchanged data is never re-downloaded.
Developer notes
My read on it
Version 3 was the reliability pass this project needed: I replaced hidden storage failures with a health check and real error reasons, added pairing with single-use, rate-limited codes, and wrote browser tests for the full pair-and-join flow. Honest status: sync is polling-based (seconds, not push), it handles text and code but not files yet, and encrypted files are next.
