About

--------------------------------------------------------------

The main goal of this app is to simplify the process of quick saving files and text. I found myself many times using some messenger apps like Discord to quickly save some images or pieces of text like links and pieces of code which I didn't want to clutter my desktop with. Or sending some files back to myself because I wanted them on my phone. This app solves all of the described things and is currently running 24/7 on my Raspberry Pi 🙂
