Send text between your devices with Text Bridge

Text Bridge sends text snippets, URLs, or notes from your phone directly to your Chrome browser — no copy-paste across devices. Text Bridge is free for all users.

Before you start

Text Bridge delivers to your connected browser, so you need the iLinkVault Chrome extension installed and paired with the app. Pairing takes a QR scan: in the iLinkVault app, go to Settings → Browser Extension and scan the QR code shown by the extension. No account is needed on the desktop.

  2. Enter your text

Receive in Chrome

  1. Open the extension

  2. Read or copy your text

    The text you sent from your phone is right there — read it, copy it, or open a sent URL directly.

Text doesn’t expire — files do

Text you send with Text Bridge does not expire. The 24-hour automatic expiry applies only to transferred files.
