Secrets that move with you. FlickFly keeps your passwords, documents, links and notes in a locked vault on your phone β€” then moves them to your other devices with a single flick. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pair once. Scan a QR code or to link your phone with your laptop's browser at flickfly.app, or with another phone installed Flickfly app. 2. Swipe to send. Flick any card toward your paired device. 3. It arrives encrypted with strong security standards in transit, decrypted only on the device you chose. WHAT YOU CAN KEEP AND SEND β€’ Passwords and logins, with a built-in password generator and OCR scan password from a paper, screens and other clear surface β€’ Documents and scanned pages with built in scanner β€’ Links you don't want in a browser history β€’ Private notes BUILT TO STAY PRIVATE β€’ End-to-end encrypted. Keys are generated on your devices and the transfer is unreadable on our servers. β€’ Your vault lives on your device, not in our cloud. β€’ Locked behind your PIN and Face ID or Touch ID. β€’ No account to create. Nothing to sign up for. β€’ Optionally encrypted secure backup to your phone account's iCloud storage.
