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.

Could try Briar. It works over bluetooth LAN network, or over internet via TOR. Has a linux, mac, windows, and android version.

You can make your own Discord or Discord alternative server

Despite everything, Telegram is actually great. It's only bloated if you're using the features on the device, the client is opensource and there are native apps for any platform, it's very lightweight compared to other messengers and even to some dedicated filesharing solutions, it sends stuff p2p on the same network so you don't need to care about the traffic, but also it allows for on-demand downloads so if you want the stuff will be available outside of your network.
Alternatively, kdeconnect, but I find myself using Telegram instead 9 times out of 10, even though I have both installed.
