Your digital scrap of paper
Overview
Think of Pastecard as a replacement for the stuff you scribble on the back of your hand. It's available wherever you have an Internet connection, including your phone. The advantage is you can just erase it when you don't need it anymore, instead of washing your hand or throwing away another sticky note. Try Pastecard for any of these situations:
- Grocery lists
- To-dos and reminders
- Driving directions
- Links to view later
- Phone numbers
- and more!
Getting Started
- To sign up, fill out the form on the signup page.
- To log in, just go to your Pastecard URL.
- To install Pastecard on your iPhone or iPod touch, go to your Pastecard URL in Safari and tap on the center icon in the bottom toolbar (either a plus sign or an arrow coming out of a box). Choose “Add to Homescreen” and tap the Done button.
- To install Pastecard on your Android phone, save your Pastecard URL as a bookmark, and open the Bookmarks screen in the browser. Long-press on your Pastecard bookmark and select “Add to Home screen.”
Using Pastecard
- Go to your Pastecard URL to see your saved text in a readable card view.
- Click or tap on the card to make it editable, and you can make changes or copy text to your clipboard.
- Once you're done editing, click or tap “Save” to save your changes permanently, or “Cancel” to discard your changes.
- Either button will return you to the card view.
- If you install Pastecard to an iPhone or iPod touch and launch it when your device has no WiFi or cellular connection, Pastecard will attempt to display the last-saved version of your text in an offline read-only mode.
- Under read-only mode, you won't be able to make any edits until you relaunch the app under an active connection.
Security
- Pastecard does not use passwords: if someone knows your Pastecard URL, they have the same access you do.
- If you're concerned, sign up with a username that you don't use anywhere else.
- Please don't use Pastecard for any sensitive information.
- Only the current version of your Pastecard is saved. There is no way to undo or recover old text.
