Clip is a cross-platform clipboard updated in sync. · Powerful and productive. With Clip, you can update the content of clipboard from one device to another easily. For example, copy a piece of text on the iPhone and paste it directly on your PC, and vice versa. · Simple and smart. Across multiple devices, Clip synchronizes text, keeps recent clipboard records and recognizes received content to reduce duplicate uploads. You can also tap a history record to copy the text again. We attach great importance to the comprehensive experience of users. So Clip adopts a minimalist design without complex interactive interface and disturbing advertisement. What you need to do is just “copy” - “paste”. · Privacy and protection. Hash salt encryption is adopted in Clip to keep your account secure in our servers; it also uses SSL/TLS to encrypt links to secure the transfer of your clipboard content over the Internet.

The Today widget remains available on iOS 17 / iPadOS 17 or earlier. Requires iOS 13 / iPadOS 13 or later. Current versions support Unicode text and text synchronization up to 4 MiB. Synchronization with older clients is subject to their existing text limits.
