## What is copycopy?

copycopy is a completely local, subscription-free clipboard manager that saves the text, images, and files you copy so you never lose what matters.

How It Works
Copy something, and copycopy saves it. Use the copycopy keyboard, open the app, or set up Quick Capture to save your clipboard with Back Taps, the Action Button, or Control Center. No need to open the app or switch keyboards.

Your Clipboard Companion
Keep copycopy open on your iPhone while you work on your Mac or iPad. Browse, search, and filter your full clipboard history, then tap any item to copy it. With Universal Clipboard, it's instantly ready to paste on your other Apple device.

Smart Detection
copycopy automatically recognizes phone numbers, emails, URLs, addresses, tracking numbers, dates, passwords, credit cards, and code snippets. Tap for instant actions: call, message, open a link, track a package, or navigate to an address using your preferred apps.

Rich Text & Formatting
copycopy preserves rich text formatting: bold, italic, colors, and more. Paste back into Notes, Mail, or any app with formatting intact. Prefer plain text? Make it your default and reach rich text from the item menu, or strip formatting from any single item with one tap.

Files & Documents
Save PDFs, documents, and other files alongside your text and images. Files arrive with thumbnails, and the text inside PDFs becomes searchable.

Text Transforms
Transform copied text instantly: uppercase, lowercase, title case, URL encode/decode, Base64 encode/decode, strip HTML, remove line breaks, trim whitespace, and JSON format or minify. Copy the result or save it as a new item.

Stay Organized
Pin important items to the top. Mark items as Keepers so they're never auto-deleted. Add custom color-coded tags to organize your way. Combine filters to narrow by type, status, and tag at once. Sort by date, how often you copy something, name, size, or character count, and tap the same option again to reverse it. Or arrange your list by hand and keep it that way. Search your entire history with in-app and Spotlight search.

Bulk Editing
Select multiple items to tag, pin, rename, combine, transform, compress images, or delete in bulk.

Scan & Capture
Use the built-in camera to scan text from documents, signs, or anything in the real world. Drag and drop text or images directly into copycopy. Import photos from your library.

Your Keyboard, Your Clipboard
The copycopy keyboard gives you direct access to your clipboard history inside any app. Tap to paste, filter by type, and take actions, all without leaving what you're doing.

100% Private
Your data never leaves your device. That includes the AI: copycopy can name your snippets and describe your images, and every bit of it runs on this device. Each AI feature starts
switched off, and you can tell copycopy to leave any item alone. No accounts, no cloud sync, no analytics, no tracking, not even crash reporting. Lock the app behind Face ID or Touch ID. Passwords and credit cards are automatically hidden from Spotlight and the keyboard. Choose how quickly sensitive copies clear from the system clipboard, and how long saved cards are kept.

Choose Your Default Apps
Set your preferred apps for messaging, maps, email, browsers, and calendars, plus your preferred search engine. copycopy opens detected content in the apps you actually use.

Backup & Restore
Schedule automatic backups so your library is saved without you thinking about it, or export any time. Backups include your images, files, and formatting, and you can also export as JSON or CSV. Import or restore on another device to pick up right where you left off.

Free to Start
Your first 8 items are free with full functionality. Upgrade once to unlock up to 1,000 items. No subscription.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.70 — 2026-08-22

Local AI, on your device (nothing sent to the cloud). 

copycopy can now name your snippets and describe your images so you can find them later. It runs entirely on this device, nothing is sent anywhere, and every AI feature starts switched off.

Do not automatically name. Tell copycopy to leave any item alone, one at a time or in bulk. It forgets what it guessed and keeps what it read, so the item stays searchable without being named.

Files are named from what is inside them, not from a filename.

Settings rebuilt: fewer taps to everything, and hopefully clearer explanations.

Fixed: turning off Clipboard Monitoring now genuinely stops copycopy reading the clipboard.

Fixed: keyboard setup now shows the real steps for adding the keyboard the first time.

### 1.50 — 2026-08-11

Files and documents: save PDFs, documents, and other files alongside your text and images, with thumbnails and searchable PDF text.
Automatic backups: schedule backups in the new .ccbackup format so your library is saved without you thinking about it, and formatting is now included.
Much faster: large libraries are dramatically quicker to browse, search, and copy from, and memory use stays flat where it used to climb.
Rich text that travels: bold, italic, and colors now survive pasting into other apps, and formatting stays intact when you edit an item.
Default copy format: choose whether a tap copies rich text or plain text, and reach the other from the item menu whenever you need it.
New sort options: sort by character count, tap any sort option again to reverse it, and sorting by name now brings the items you've named to the top.
Combine filters: filter by type, status, and tag at the same time.
Choose your search engine: Google, DuckDuckGo, Brave Search, or Bing for the Search and Track actions.
Sensitive data improvements: marking an item sensitive no longer labels it a password, pinned and Keeper cards are never auto-deleted, and you choose how long saved cards are kept.
Bug fixes and localization updates.

### 1.40 — 2026-05-02

iPad support — copycopy now runs on iPad with an optimized layout.
Rich text support — copycopy now preserves formatting (bold, italic, colors) when you copy from Safari, Notes, Mail, and other apps. Strip formatting with one tap when you need plain text.
Tag editing — tap any tag to rename it or change its color.
Text transforms in bulk edit — apply transforms to multiple items at once with the new dropdown picker.
Search action button — search any text snippet on the web directly from the action buttons.
Improved URL detection — URLs with uppercase characters are now correctly recognized.
Control Center button has been removed in favor of the Quick Capture Shortcut.
Bug fixes and localization updates.

### 1.32 — 2026-04-28

New Text Transforms: Trim whitespace, strip HTML, prettify or minify JSON, and decode Base64 — available in Copy As, Edit, and Bulk Edit.
Share Snippets: Share any snippet via the iOS share sheet. Long press or swipe left to find it.
iPad Two-Line Preview: See more of each snippet with taller rows, bigger thumbnails, and two lines of content on iPad. Choose your preference in Settings → Appearance.
Smarter URL Headers: URLs now show the domain name (e.g., "github.com") instead of "URL" in the snippet header.
Quick Capture for iOS 18+: Add the copycopy control directly to Control Center, Lock Screen, or Action Button — no Shortcuts app needed. Back Tap still available via Shortcut.
Keyboard Globe Fix: The globe icon now correctly appears only on devices that need it (Touch ID iPhones, iPads).
Accessibility Improvements: Tag dots now announce their names with VoiceOver.

### 1.28 — 2026-04-22

Long press on new snippet button to extract text from images or files. Bug fixes.
