## What is Clipbud?

A delightfully simple space for those text snippets you copy and paste a bunch.

We've all got those things we keep copy and pasting from notes. Insta hashtags, the pancake recipe your friends always ask about, meaningful quotes, top 10 lists, and so on. Clipbud makes finding and copying any of those a breeze. Simply open the app, tap on the one you want, and it's on your clipboard ready to be shared.

COPYING IS A BREEZE

Clipbud puts any text you add to the app a tap away. There's no limit to the length of the snippet either. Paragraphs and line breaks are kept for readability.

SEARCH IS EASY

Clipbud's search makes finding whatever you need lightning fast.

RECENTS

Clipbud has a row for things you've copied recently, making finding them again even easier.

FINE-GRAIN CLIPBOARD SETTINGS

By default Clipbud will only read your clipboard when you press tap the "Paste" button. You can change how and when Clipbud accesses your clipboard in Settings. Clipbud can only access your clipboard while using the app, and nothing is stored unless you say so.

DELIGHTFUL INTERFACE

Sounds, haptics, and fun patterns that move with your device means there's a lot to enjoy when using Clipbud.

TRULY PRIVATE

All data is stored on your device and backed up to your iCloud account. No one else has access to it. There are no ads, trackers, or third-party APIs of any sort.

### 3/5 — Je dois enlever une étoile parce que j’ai perdu tous les snippets.

*2025-10-21, version 1.3*

Il le semble avoir demandé au développeur de faire en sorte qu’on puisse exporter nos snippets et aussi qu’ils se synchronisent en wifi avec iCloud. 

iOS 26 a tué mon mobile. J’ai tout perdu. 
Il arrive la même chose avec  ma tablette alors je me suis suis tout envoyé par SMS , un à un. Vraiment pas pratique …

Ce sui s’était bien serait de pouvoir se connecter y son mail. 

Je pense que je vais devoir changer d’application.  C’est dommage. Je l’aimais bien.

### 3/5 — Cool, clipboard app

*2025-05-03, version 1.3*

It’s a pretty good app. I just wish that you could paste photos

### 5/5 — Just love this app

*2025-01-22, version 1.3*

that’s it, it’s really cool and handy

### 5/5 — Beautiful

*2024-11-26, version 1.3*

I love this app

### 5/5 — goat developer

*2024-11-09, version 1.3*

i’m gonna take my rookie numbers and bow out before i lose my thumbs

### 5/5 — Like it

*2024-09-23*

I’m cautious of free apps because most of the time there’s a catch or strings attached ie harvesting your data etc. 

This app seems to be safe though. It’s aesthetic is nice looking. The function of the app works well.

### 3/5 — Not bad but …

*2024-09-21, version 1.2*

I would switch to this app If it only had a widget allowing to show and scroll the snippets titles and to copy with a tap on the title. Meanwhile I will stick with what I have.

### 5/5 — Great little app

*2024-08-31, version 1.2*

I love how simple and easy this app is to use. Simply copy something and then open the app and it’s ready to go. The only thing that might be useful would be tags for better organization, but that might take away from the simplicity of it. Overall though, great little app

### 5/5 — Simplicity at it’s best

*2024-07-07, version 1.2*

This app is the perfect copy-and-paste clipboard tool. I used to use Notes for this, but it required selecting the text and then copying. With this app, it's just one click. I only wish that after copying the text, it would automatically jump back to the previous app so I can paste it directly there

### 5/5 — So simple, useful and wonderful !

*2024-06-27, version 1.2*

I use it to keep my prompts when I use Ai. But you can use it to store every text you want to save. It's a time saver. The author deserves congratulations. R.N.
