Clypy remembers everything you copy and makes it available on every device you own privately. Copy a link on your Mac and paste it on your iPhone. Copy an address on your phone and paste it on your PC. Everything is encrypted on your device before it syncs, and Clypy holds no key that can read it. WHAT YOU GET • Searchable clipboard history — every clip you save is kept on device, unlimited, with no clip cap and no account. History older than 90 days clears itself by default, and you choose the retention period. • Search by meaning — find "that wifi password from the rental" without remembering the exact words. Semantic search runs on your device. • Text from screenshots — Clypy reads text inside images you save, so screenshots become searchable and pasteable. Runs on-device. • Typed clips — links, text, codes, images, files, and secrets are detected, colour-coded, and previewed, so you scan your history instead of reading it. • Detected secrets stay concealed — passwords, keys, and tokens are hidden behind Face ID or Touch ID and can be set to expire early. • Collections — group clips by project, client, or trip. • Templates and snippets — reusable text with fill-in fields for the replies, addresses, and blocks you type constantly. • Paste stack — queue several clips and paste them one after another in order. • Transforms — clean up a clip before you paste it: change case, strip formatting, convert a colour, tidy a URL. ON IPHONE AND IPAD, SPECIFICALLY • Clypy keyboard — pick a clip and insert it directly into any app, without leaving what you're doing. • Share extension — send text, links, or images from any app into your history. • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets — your latest clips, one tap away. • Shortcuts and App Intents — save, search, and paste clips from your own automations. • Built for iPad — split screen, rotation, hardware keyboard, and Dynamic Type at the largest sizes. HOW SAVING WORKS ON A PHONE iOS does not allow apps to watch the clipboard in the background, and Clypy does not try to. Clips are saved while the app is in the foreground, through the Clypy keyboard, or from the share sheet. Nothing is read invisibly. PRIVACY, PLAINLY • No Clypy account, no profile, no password. • Clips, search indexes, and encryption keys stay on your devices. • Sync is end-to-end encrypted. Devices talk directly over your own network when they can reach each other; otherwise an encrypted relay forwards ciphertext between online devices and keeps no backlog. • All intelligence — semantic search, text recognition, classification, secret detection — runs on your hardware. Your clips are never used to train AI models. • Optional encrypted iCloud backups, restored only when you ask. • Usage analytics are off unless you turn them on, and never include clip content. FREE AND PRO Free gives you unlimited local history on one device, collections, templates, semantic search, and on-device text recognition — no card, no account. Pro is a one-time license key that unlocks device pairing, encrypted sync over your local network and over the relay, the Clypy keyboard, and widgets. Enter your key on any device you own; there is no device limit. THE ONE THING TO KNOW Because Clypy cannot read your clips, Clypy cannot recover them for you. If every paired device and every recovery key is lost, that history is gone. Keep one healthy paired device or a backup with its recovery key. Clypy also runs on all major platforms. ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Clypy Pro Lifetime | $29.99 | one-time | ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 0.4.2 — 2026-10-07 • New Devices screen: pair, rename, and revoke devices from the menu, with live progress while a revoked device's key rotates • Pairing is simpler: scan a code, type it in by hand, or share a pairing link • Paste secret clips straight from the Clypy keyboard after unlocking with Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode • Settings reorganized into Clipboard, Sync & Backup, and Privacy, with your account up top • New Appearance page for Light, Dark, or Automatic • Link clips now open in your browser from the library and clip detail • Sheets use the native iOS presentation with a grab handle • File import failures now show a clear message instead of failing silently ### 0.4.1 — 2026-09-29 Clypy is now compatible with iOS 27. ### 0.4.0 — 2026-09-25 • Rebuilt sync to help devices catch up after time offline while new clips continue to arrive. • Improved scrolling, search, and thumbnails in large clip libraries. • Added an option to download full synced images for offline access. • Improved HEIC image handling and duplicate image detection. • Sorted clips by when they were last copied. • Improved pairing, long-press actions, and deleted-clip cleanup. ### 0.3.2 — 2026-09-17 Settings that stay put • Fixed a bug where relay sync could switch itself off after you changed an unrelated setting, or after re-running setup. Your sync choices now stick. • Changes made from Shortcuts are no longer overwritten when you adjust something else in the app. • Pairing over the local network is more reliable and no longer replays an old invite. • The clip grid now has even spacing, with every card the same width. • Diagnostic reports now include a longer support log, so connection problems are easier to trace if you contact us. • Clearer wording in setup, purchase and settings screens. ### 0.3.1 — 2026-09-16 Faster libraries and steadier sync. LIBRARY - Large libraries open and scroll smoothly. Clips now load as you reach them instead of all at once. - Filter by date from search, including today and yesterday. - Select all, then act on the whole selection at once. - Image thumbnails generate faster, and step aside while a sync is running. - Pick images using the system photo picker. SYNC AND PAIRING - Quicker clip delivery over local network sync. - Pairing now says plainly when a connection is local network only. - Removing a device sticks. A revoked device stays revoked after the encryption key is rotated. - Sync skips clips from groups you have left and repairs blank rows, so history stays clean. - Rekeying during pairing is safer and no longer risks a crash. RELIABILITY - Large images and files are read in bounded pieces, so Clypy holds up where it used to run out of memory. - Fewer database lock errors under heavy use. - The Clypy keyboard loads clips in pages, so it opens quickly even against a large history. - Your license is kept in the system keychain. - Crash reports are scrubbed of clipboard contents and personal data before they leave the device. - Share app logs from Diagnostics when you need support. Clipboard contents, keys, addresses and identifiers are removed first. ## More apps by Fayeed Pawaskar - [Waqt: Salah App Blocker](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/waqt-salah-app-blocker/id6775193152) - [Kova: Yoga & Pilates Coach](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/kova-yoga-and-pilates-coach/id6782872669) All apps by Fayeed Pawaskar: https://appshunter.io/developer/6775193154 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
