## What is Flycut?

Flycut is a clean and simple clipboard manager for developers and anyone else.  The iOS version uses the same back end as the macOS version, which are both open source and were grown from the Jumpcut open source clipboard manager.  Flycut source is available on GitHub.  https://github.com/TermiT/Flycut (primary) and https://github.com/MarkJerde/Flycut (initial iOS development)

Every time you open Flycut, it checks for a new clipping and adds it to the history.  Later you can add any remembered clipping back onto the clipboard just by tapping it.

Developed by developers for developers.

## Key features

- Clipboard history saving
- One-tap re-copy

### 1/5 — No launch

*2026-03-21*

On iPhone 16 will not launch. Tap on icon, it flashes showing “allow to paste” screen for a second, then closes. Can’t find any support advice.

### 5/5 — Excellent. To the point Clipboard App

*2024-11-17*

Too bad last update was 7 years ago!  Even though it now crashes with the new iOS, I am still giving it a 5 star because excellent apps like this should not be discarded … I hope the developer is listening, UPDATE PLEASE.

### 1/5 — Useless do not download

*2024-07-03*

Waste of time. Not updated, doesn’t delete. 
Poor 100%

### 1/5 — Does not cloud sync

*2023-01-24*

I run Flycut on Mac, but my clips on the Mac do not make it to my iPhone.

### 2/5 — Needs Updating

*2022-12-10*

In the past, this has been an excellent clipboard utility. However, since the iOS 16.1.2 update it constantly crashes upon launch. Hopefully there will be an updated version soon.

### 1/5 — Copied one single item & quit

*2022-03-30*

Doesn’t work

### 5/5 — Diagnostics

*2022-03-03*

Hi! I like how neat it is, what does the diagnostics settings diagnoses? I’m getting kinda nervous (not because of the app itself) cuz I see Remote Notifications Enabled, is it like an added value feature that diagnose the whole phone? Does that means that my notifications are getting to another device?

### 1/5 — 1 STAR, BECAUSE THIS CRAP OFTEN MISSES THE COPY

*2021-11-21*

DEEPLY DISAPPOINTED.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review. I wonder if the way iOS works is causing some confusion here. Flycut can only observe the pasteboard when the app is open, so it will never capture a clipping when the app isn’t open. This means that if you want it to save a clipping on iOS, you have to copy and then open Flycut. That’s all that is possible on iOS. The Mac version can constantly observe because macOS and iOS are really different in the area of the pasteboard. Hope this helps.

### 5/5 — Beauty

*2021-01-18*

After testing 15+ such apps, I finally happened along this one. The other apps were bloatware. From my needs, the simplicity with this clipboard app is beauty itself.

### 5/5 — So nice!

*2020-02-06*

Such a good app and so happy to see this counterpart on iOS.  Thank you for continuing development of this.  My only request is that I be able to edit the history or exclude an app from being included in monitoring so it does not track copies from my password manager.
