## What is Octoclip?

Ever copy a link on your phone just to email it to yourself so you can open it on your laptop? Or lose something the moment you copy the next thing? Octoclip fixes that.

Octoclip is a universal clipboard: whatever you copy on one device is ready to paste on another — and nothing you copy is ever lost.

NEVER LOSE A COPY
Every clip is saved to a searchable Clip History and synced across your devices. That address, code snippet, or link from yesterday is still right there — text, images, links, files, and code.

FIND IT IN A SECOND
Searching shouldn't mean remembering exact characters. Type Pinyin or Romaji to find Chinese or Japanese clips ("beijing" → 北京), match by your own aliases, or filter by type — text, image, code, or link — in one tap. Code clips get syntax-highlighted previews.

PASTE ANYWHERE — NO COPY GYMNASTICS
Pull your clip history into any text field with the Octoclip Keyboard and paste while you type. Set an alias and frequent text expands itself ("email" → your address). No app-switching.

SYNC YOUR WAY
• Nearby Sync — devices on the same network, over Bonjour. No account required.
• Cloud Sync — across networks, through your own WebDAV / S3 storage.

YOUR CLIPBOARD STAYS YOURS
Local-first — your clips live on your devices. Cloud Sync uses storage you own, and content is encrypted locally before it leaves your device. Your clipboard holds passwords and personal text; it shouldn't sit on someone else's server.

Octoclip works across your phone, tablet, laptop, and desktop.

### 5/5 — The PERFECT Cross-Platform Sync!

*2026-06-04*

I’ve been using Octoclip between my Windows 11 PC and my iPhone for months but did not know it also had a native macOS app. Now I can truly copy/paste anywhere on any device I own and instantly paste it into an app on any other device. Transcending OS limitations!! Thank you Octoclip!!

### 5/5 — AMAZING!!

*2026-03-31*

This has hands down changed the way I transfer photos, text, and small files between devices. Windows, iPhone, on WiFi at home or abroad. Anything I copy anywhere is now instantly available to every other device with Octoprint. Thank you!!!

### 5/5 — Hands Down the best clipboard sync Windows and iOS

*2026-02-02*

I have been using Octclip for some time now and wanted to let people know this is the one for you if you’re constantly looking for ways to get content from your iPhone to your PC quickly. The only downside is (and this is an Apple restriction, not an Octoclip restriction) is anytime I need something added to Octoprint I have to open the app on my iPhone. But that’s it! The very second I do and it’s very quick to open, whatever is in the clipboard is immediately accessible on my Windows desktop, period. If you add an S3 or WebDAV connection - you can sync and add to a shared clipboard history anywhere! Octoclip has figured it out! 

Thank you so much for making a clipboard sync manager actually work!!

### 5/5 — Way better than I ever expected!

*2025-06-29*

Never imagined macOS and Android clipboards could sync so effortlessly —— Octoclip feels native and works flawlessly. Highly recommended!
