Meet CtrlV – a truly cross-platform scratchpad for beaming links, text & images between all your devices

Hey all! I’m Christian, a solo Flutter dev who was tired of google doc'ing myself just to pass text or a link between my devices.
So I built CtrlV, a “send-it-to-myself” scratchpad that works on macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS & Android.
What it does today:
- Native Share Button (iOS/Android) Integration: Use the Share button on iOS/Android to quickly send links, text, or images from various apps (Browsers, Social Media Apps, Photos, etc.), or just highlight some text & hit Share, then select CtrlV!
- Instant, Native Notifications: You'll receive instant notifications when you receive content, so you won't forget it. Smart actions like 'Copy' & 'Open URL' based on content.
- End-to-end encrypted: I never see your data & it's decrypted on-device. You can also use a toggle button to see your encrypted data!
- Editable history: You can delete individual, or all your data whenever you want to & It's gone forever!
- Quick Action Buttons: Within the app, you can quickly copy to clipboard (both text and& images), download
- Manual share to anywhere: Need to share bits of text, code, an excerpt from an article? Send it manually to any of your devices.
- Send images: Ability to send an image (and soon multiple) across devices. I'm submitting this for review as we speak!
What’s next
- Getting app released ASAP (hopefully this weekend).
- Social Login
- Category/Tags/Subject
- Keep app running in menubar/tray (desktop)
- Linux build (Just have to run Linux on my machine & build it)
- Features based on voting from users (app settings)
Would love to know if this would be useful to you, any ideas, & overall feedback! You can check it out here, I'm currently taking on testers, so feel free to join :) TIA!
