## What is Magpie?

A private clipboard history for iPhone and iPad that works on its own, and stays in sync with your Mac when you want it to.

Save what you copy with a tap, and Magpie recognizes what it is, files it, and puts it back on the clipboard whenever you need it. Your history is encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM, with no accounts, no Magpie servers and no analytics. App Privacy: Data Not Collected. The same one-time purchase covers Magpie for Mac.

SAVE IN A TAP
iPhone and iPad don't let apps watch the clipboard in the background, so Magpie makes saving quick:
• Tap the Paste button to save what you just copied, without a permission prompt
• Share text, a link or an image to Magpie from any app
• Save text and images, find clips or copy them back with Shortcuts and Siri
• With sync on, what you copy on your Mac arrives by itself

TEXT INSIDE SAVED IMAGES
On-device text recognition (OCR) reads every image you save to Magpie, plus images synced from your Mac. Results are never synced: each device reads its own.
• Find a saved screenshot by the words in it
• Select text right in the image, or copy all of it
• Copy a table from an image as Markdown, CSV or TSV
• Decode QR codes and barcodes: open the link, or copy a Wi-Fi password
• Call, message, email, open a link, get directions or add a date to your calendar from what it finds
• Copy one-time codes and bank account numbers (IBAN) without retyping them

IT KNOWS WHAT YOU COPIED
Eight clip types are recognized automatically, each with its own filter: text, code, links, colors, images, email addresses, phone numbers and file paths.
• Code is highlighted in 22 languages
• Colors show as real swatches, with HEX, RGB and HSL values
• Images open full screen with pinch to zoom
• Saving something again moves it back to the top instead of piling up
• Guessed wrong? Change a clip's type or code language

FIND IT, USE IT
• Live search, pinned favorites, and one tap to copy any clip back
• Drag clips into other apps on iPhone and iPad
• Swipe to pin, or swipe to delete with Undo
• A Library with typo-tolerant search, filters by source, collection and date, and batch actions for many clips at once
• On iPad: sidebar, list and detail side by side, with hardware-keyboard navigation
• Password-protected, encrypted backups you can restore whenever you need to

IN STEP WITH YOUR MAC
On the Mac, Magpie records what you copy automatically from the menu bar. Turn on iCloud sync (it stays off until you do) and that history appears on your iPhone and iPad through your own private iCloud database, while what you save on them appears on your Mac. Clip contents, sources and collection names are encrypted with AES-256-GCM before they leave your device, with a key in your iCloud Keychain that only your devices hold; housekeeping details such as dates, clip types and sizes stay readable so sync can work. Sync & Recovery shows which recent clips have reached your other devices.

MADE YOUR WAY
Five themes — Dark, Light, Twilight, Solarized and Nord — plus System, and 13 accent colors.

ONE PURCHASE, EVERY DEVICE
Buy it on iPhone and it's yours on iPad and Mac as well: no subscription, no in-app purchases, and every feature works from the first launch. Runs on iOS 17 or later; Magpie for Mac runs on macOS 14 or later.

Magpies collect whatever catches their eye. This one keeps what you save — and tells no one.
