Sometime i want to send small messages between devices, such as a url, a note, a id, a token, a piece of code, a picture Especially send between phone and laptop.

Some chatting app have self messages such as telegram saved messages, slack (you), Microsoft team...

However i don't want a bloated chat app that would took few hundred mb on phone, or required to install an app on my pc (linux which make many app broken). I don't want work chat app too, because self messages can be seen and scanned by employer (yes, a security add on chatbot on slack warm me because i send something like password to myself on slack)

Something like Opera Flow would fit perfectly, but i don't want opera browser.

Yup. That's my one hangup. Except you don't even need to install Dropbox. It just uses the Dropbox API (correct me if I'm wrong please).

The developer is a single(?) person based out of Germany and is pretty chill. I didn’t know it had Ubuntu and all support till after using it for a long time. I literally would use it just for iOS to Mac and back.

Yea, just requires a Dropbox account. And unfortunately I can't get it to authenticate.

I'll try some more when I have time, it's a brilliant solution.
