XClip is a clipboard history and snippet text management tool. Through XClip, you can quickly input predetermined text and clipboard history content on the keyboard, and you can also use a calculator in the input textfield to calculate. For an excellent user experience, XClip App has made the following optimizations: 1. Developed natively with SwiftUI, it does not contain third-party components and libraries, so it is very small, less than 1M. 2. The whole process runs offline, and there will be no pop-up window requesting to connect to the Internet on the mobile phone. 3. Does not read any data of the user except the clipboard, and does not require any permissions. 4. Use picture-in-picture to monitor the clipboard in the background, and record the history of the clipboard without returning to the app in frequently copied scenes. 5. Fully adapt to the night mode, and the black and white theme will automatically switch with the system. The developer will continue to optimize this app, please feel free to use an app that does not require networking. Terms of Use : https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
