What is Boardcast?

Boardcast is a lightweight, real-time collaborative whiteboard and clipboard sharing tool. It was built to solve a simple but frustrating problem: getting text from one device to another, instantly, without needing accounts, installs, or workarounds.

The problem we solve

Developers and IT professionals constantly move between machines — local PCs, virtual sessions, remote desktops, cloud environments. Getting a block of code, a config snippet, or even just a URL from one environment to another is surprisingly painful. Email feels heavy. Messaging apps aren't always available. Clipboard bridging in remote desktop tools is unreliable.

Boardcast is the missing tool. Open a browser, create a session, paste your content, open the same URL on the other machine. Done. No friction, no accounts, no installs.

Our principles

Zero friction

No sign-up, no login, no download. If you have a browser, you have Boardcast. A session is one click away.

Privacy first

We don't store your data. Session content lives in memory only and is deleted automatically. We have no idea what you paste.

Real-time by default

Changes appear on all connected devices in under 100ms. No refreshing, no polling — it's a live connection.

Built to last

No third-party services, no external dependencies that can disappear. The entire stack is self-hosted and under our control.

By the numbers

<100ms Sync latency
0 Accounts required
0 Data stored to disk
2hrs Session lifetime

How it's built

Boardcast is intentionally simple under the hood. No heavy frameworks, no databases, no third-party cloud services. Just a small Node.js server and a persistent WebSocket connection between browsers.

What's coming

Boardcast is actively developed. Planned features for future versions include persistent sessions that survive server restarts, multiple content tabs per session, syntax highlighting for code, session password protection, and file sharing. The goal is always to add capability without adding friction.

Contact

Boardcast is operated independently. For questions, feedback, or to report issues, reach out via the session feedback mechanism or the contact details in our Terms of Service.
