Sound familiar?
We've all been there
"Let me just WhatsApp that to myself"
It works, but your chat becomes a graveyard of random notes mixed in with actual conversations. And now you're stuck in the app, scrolling through notifications you didn't ask for.
"Why won't AirDrop work on Windows?"
AirDrop is great — until you switch to Windows, or need to send something to your Android. PocketPing works across every device and OS without asking you to stay in the Apple ecosystem.
"I saw something on my phone, now I'm on my PC…"
You found a link on your phone you want to open properly on your desktop. You email it to yourself, and now it's buried under 47 unread emails. There had to be a better way.
"Where did I put that file?"
You transferred it over USB last week. Or was it Google Drive? Or AirDrop? With PocketPing everything you send to yourself is in one place, on every device, instantly.

The workarounds
Why not just use…
We've all tried them. They all have a catch.
WhatsApp yourself

- Pulls you into the app and its notifications
- Useless if you switch platforms
- PocketPing just works
Email yourself
- Buries important stuff in your inbox
- Slow and clunky for quick notes
- Attachments have size limits
- PocketPing just works
AirDrop
- Only works between Apple devices
- Both devices need to be nearby
- Useless on Windows or Android
- PocketPing just works
USB cable
- You never have the right cable
- Manual file management every time
- Not exactly a quick solution
- PocketPing just works

FAQ
Who built this and why?
I built PocketPing because I was constantly WhatsApping myself to move notes, links and files between my Windows PC, iPhone, Mac and Android phone. It worked, but my chat became a mess and I kept getting pulled into the app. I wanted something clean, private and built for exactly this.
Is PocketPing free?
Free during private beta. We'll give plenty of notice before anything changes.
Who can see my stuff?
Only you. There are no social features, no public profiles, no sharing. Everything you send is completely private.
What devices does it work on?
Any device with a browser — iPhone, Android, Windows, Mac, Linux. Install it as an app from your browser in seconds. No app store needed.
How is this better than just WhatsApping myself?
WhatsApp works but your chat becomes a graveyard of random notes and files mixed in with actual conversations. PocketPing is a dedicated, clean inbox just for this — nothing else gets in the way.
Does it work between iPhone and Windows?
Yes, that's exactly what it's built for. AirDrop only works between Apple devices. PocketPing works across everything — iPhone to Windows, Android to Mac, any combination.
How long are files kept?
Files auto-delete after 24 hours to keep things tidy. Pin a file to keep it indefinitely. Notes and links are kept forever.
Is there an app to download?
No download needed. PocketPing is a PWA — just open it in your browser, tap 'Add to Home Screen' and it works like a native app on any device.
Can I delete my data?
Yes. Delete anything at any time, or contact us to remove your account entirely.
