My favourite use for Gladys is pulling in a dragged item and then dragging out one representation of the item so I can specify which one I want. For example, I usually don't care about formatting on text so I can choose to grab just the plaintext and drop that into the next app. Try it and tip if you like it! ### 5/5 — Indispensable application *2022-09-27, version 1.6.4* For someone that feels like Dory from Finding Nemo most days, Gladys is an indispensable part of my memory. Found something cool? It’s in Gladys. Saved that favorite gif? Gladys. Need a helper to truly multitask on phone or iPad? Gladys. Need to get something from one device to another but don’t trust Universal Copy? Gladys. I’ve tried all of the shelf apps, Gladys has been on my Home Screen and Share Sheet for a long time due to its consistent reliability, many apps don’t get my share or paste, Gladys always catches. I’ll be sad when this dev retires, but I’m grateful everyday that they made and released Gladys. ### 5/5 — Copy to clipboard crashes *2022-09-24, version 1.6.4* In iOS 16.0.2, so probably not related to copy paste bug. ### 5/5 — It’s free it’s supported and it’s useful *2022-09-19, version 1.6.4* Keep up the excellent work - nice to see developers supporting free apps like this and much appreciated ### 5/5 — 찾고 있던 앱 🤩 *2022-05-03, version 1.6.1* 뭔가를 북마크 하는 것을 좋아하고 좋아하는 사진이나 웹페이지, 아무튼 무언가를 빠르게 저장해놓고 태그 달아서 관리하고 그런 편리한 앱을 찾고있었다면 바로 gladys입니다. 이러한 용도로 사용할 다양한 앱들을 찾아다니다가 gladys라는 완벽한 앱을 찾았는데 심지어 무료입니다. ### 5/5 — Un must *2022-04-06, version 1.6.1* App davvero favolosa ed efficientissima su ogni dispositivo Apple. Magari darei qualche occasione di personalizzare colori o icona, ma si tratta di sciocchezze in confronto al reale valore dell'applicazione. Complimenti allo sviluppatore! ### 5/5 — Surprisingly good app *2021-09-05, version 1.5.1* When I first tried Gladys, I wasn't sure how well it would work because I’m using an iPhone which doesn’t have split screen, so I can’t utilize the drag and drop feature. However, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that this app has features to allow for links to be saved easily, even without drag and drop. This app has some great features. I only have a few suggestions to the developers on some things that can be improved: (1) I wish the keyboard search extension would be more accurate. I love that I can just search for a link based on tags and keywords and then I can share that link with someone else without leaving the messaging app. My only problem with this feature is its accuracy. A lot of the time, it did not find the tags that I had assigned to the links. Sometimes it would find only part of the tag. For example, if I gave a link the tag “happy dog”, Gladys would only find the link when I searched for the word “dog” but it gave me no results if I searched for “happy”. Also, the keyboard search extension would not pick up words that I had entered in the description of the link. If I was searching for links within the app, the search works excellent. It finds tags and even words in the description. (2) My next suggestion has to do with tags. When I try to assign tags to a link, it shows me the 3 recent tags that I’ve used at the top. This is helpful, but I feel that 3 tags are not enough if I’m trying to be specific and I have accumulated a lot of tags. I think there should be at least 5 recent tags displayed. This would make tagging quicker and more effective. (3) There is currently no option to organize by adding folders. I wish I could add folders within folders. Although the tagging feature in Gladys is great, folders provide a different type of organization. They would allow me to have broad topics, as well as sub-topics that fall within them. (4) When I save images in Gladys, these images are not displayed fully. They are cropped and faded. I have to press the “eye icon”, which enlarges the image and allows me to view the entire image instead of only part of it. Doing this takes a little extra time and the process can be made faster if we were able to preview the full image right away instead of having to press the “eye icon” in order to view it. If we wish to zoom in on the image to view a larger version of it, then we can press on the “eye icon”. (5) I like that Gladys allows users to group multiple of their saved links together and share them by email. Although I appreciate that this feature exists, it could use one little improvement. Right now, the links are squished together with no space left in between, making it difficult to look through them. It would help if a row automatically gets skipped between each link in order to create a more readable appearance. ### 5/5 — More Storage *2021-08-11, version 1.5.1* It’s awesome, the app certainly deserves better upgrades. So much more room for me personally! ### 5/5 — Love it *2021-07-16, version 1.5.1* I use this all the time and have 200+ entries. It’s getting a bit difficult to find occasionally used urls. It would be fantastic if I could put them into folders. I would pay for that option. ### 5/5 — Add folders please! *2021-05-19, version 1.5.1* Tags are cool, but FOLDERS are much better! I would like to stack some links or documents in the same folder as Yoink app does. Folders are very useful and more simple than tags, please add them 🙏🏻 ### 4/5 — Very Useful! *2021-03-07, version 1.4.5* 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽 ### 5/5 — Awesome developer *2021-01-09, version 1.2.23* Wow. This app should not be such a secret. Don’t be put-off by the app icon. ### 5/5 — Ottimo *2020-10-20, version 1.4.0* Applicazione unica e molto utile per gestire le varie tabs su safari. Consigliata! ### 5/5 — So good. *2020-09-16, version 1.3.0* Smooth, intuitive, extremely useful, and with a touch of nerdiness and personality to boot. I do wonder if the app has been abandoned... we're at nine months since the last update and there's still no automatic dark/light mode switching, which is pretty basic functionality at this point. Still stellar tho. Update: Dev just addressed every last concern, including some new, long-awaited functionality on the macOS version. Made a great app better. ### 5/5 — This app is underrated *2020-09-15, version 1.2.23* It lacks few features but a great free alternative to yoink. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with GoodNotes anymore *2021-12-05, version 1.6.0* Two updates ago they removed this functionality for no reason ### 1/5 — Drag and drop *2018-07-13, version 1.2.3* What does that mean??? App fails to explain what it is. ### 1/5 — No funciona *2018-06-23, version 1.2.1* Se crashea al iniciar. App descuidada no recomendable. ### 1/5 — iCloud sync toggle not working *2018-02-04, version 1.1.8* App is great except the iCloud toggle doesn't work. Keeps saying device isn't logged in to iCloud when it clearly is. ### 1/5 — Too Complicated *2018-02-03, version 1.1.8* Unless you are a "blackbelt" techie this app will not be what you think. All I have been able to do is get binary code for anything I have tried to save. If you want to see a table of code then this may work for you. I wanted to see the item/text/photo/anything I saved... not just a selection of which binary code Gladys saved. ### 1/5 — Error al comprar *2018-02-01, version 1.1.8* Quiero comprar la versión de pago de la app y me da error!! 😣 ### 1/5 — Gladys not working *2017-10-21, version 1.0.5* I really like the idea of this app, and would use it a lot - if I could get it to work. I presume that one keeps Gladys running in the background and then on the web page (for example) that one needs to copy items, merely swipe from right edge to open app. In the absence of any instructions, this is what I do, but without success. Please tell me what I’m doing wrong, and if it works then I’ll award you five stars! ### 2/5 — Tough to evaluate *2018-02-14, version 1.1.9* Only holds 10 things at a time before in app purchase is required. I just went back to using Notes. ### 3/5 — Meep in Gladys not working *2023-09-21, version 1.6.9* the extension keep in gladys is not working in my iphone with ios 16 . Once pressed the button it opens a window asking the label and name (Note & Labels) but after nothing is shown in the app, there is just a new Zero KB entry. this is valid for every type of export or selection, text or images ### 3/5 — Copy to clipboard freezes app in iOS 16 *2022-09-27, version 1.6.4* Pressing and holding an item and selecting ‘copy to clipboard’ or opening an item, tapping the hamburger menu, then tapping ‘copy to clipboard’ freezes the app. It will eventually crash if left open, but faster to force quit it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome App! *2026-07-06, version 1.7.1* The more I use Gladys the more I like and appreciate its extensive features yet ease of use. Its my favourite app for PDF files. I use Safari’s “save to PDF” option of so many technical, legislative and discussion pages from the web yet Gladys stores them all and searching is so easy. It also continues to work with each new IOS update (26 now!) which many apps don’t. A very useful program indeed! ### 5/5 — Ottima app utilissima *2026-03-08, version 1.7.1* Ottima app utilissima, ci vorrebbe qualche tutorial ### 5/5 — amazing app for drag and drop *2025-12-09, version 1.7.1* has everything a user needs to quickly add and retrieve items a little input: - would love an alternative option to get the app in the upper (colored) part of the sharesheet because these slots are usually less occupied so users can keep their existing lower (grey) menu item slots - an option to sort/select entries by file type instead of tags (especially in keyboard) would be desirable - an option to switch default tap action of keyboard entries from „text“ to „copy“ - the keyboard sometimes shows all three items per line but most of the time only teo with a giant space inbetween. i assume this is a bug thank you for reading, considering and especially for making this great app! ### 5/5 — 유용해요 *2025-09-15, version 1.7.1* 아이클라우드 사용하면 매우 편한 앱이에요 ### 5/5 — Yes!!! No duh! *2025-05-23, version 1.7.1* I'm a dev. I know clipboard management, db juggling, caches, tmp~, etc. (no pun)...Which is why I'm so glad Gladys exists. A gem as fundamental as hydrogen. ### 5/5 — So darn handy *2024-04-11, version 1.7.1* The more devices you have, the more indispensable this app becomes. I love it. ### 5/5 — Excellent tool! *2024-01-31, version 1.7.0* Thank you very much! ### 5/5 — Security zbug *2023-07-01, version 1.6.7* Pinching out on a locked item will show that item rather than presenting a password prompt. ### 5/5 — Useful app *2023-03-10, version 1.6.6* App is crashing on 16.0.2. Whenever you select and hold a copied item in the app clipboard a context menu pops up. When you select "copy" the app freezes on the context menu. Causes iOS to freeze for a few seconds update 12/20/22 The app functionality is back to normal again. I’m giving it 5 stars again. This app is so useful now that it works again ### 5/5 — Copying an item freezes the app *2022-12-21, version 1.6.6* App is crashing on 16.0.2. Whenever you select and hold a copied item in the app clipboard a context menu pops up. When you select "copy" the app freezes on the context menu. Causes iOS to freeze for a few seconds —update 12/20/22 The app functionality is back to normal again. I’m giving it 5 stars again.
