Copy on your iPhone, paste on your computer. Octoclip keeps a searchable history of what you copy and syncs it between your devices: no more sending links to yourself, and no more losing a clip the moment you copy the next one. YOUR CLIPBOARD HISTORY Text, links, images, files and code, saved and searchable. Type Pinyin or Romaji to find Chinese or Japanese clips ("beijing" finds 北京), match your own aliases, or filter by type. Keep the clips you reuse in collections, in the order you want. PASTE FROM THE KEYBOARD The Octoclip keyboard brings your clipboard history into any app. Set an alias and frequent text expands itself: type "email" and get your address. SAVE WHAT YOU COPY IN OTHER APPS Start background monitoring and Octoclip saves what you copy in other apps while the Monitoring Window stays open. Start or stop it from Shortcuts or Control Center. PLUGINS FOR WHAT YOU COPY Add official plugins to read QR codes, pull the text out of an image, translate with your own provider, and more. Run them from your history, a clip's details or the keyboard (plugins in the keyboard need Allow Full Access). Split Words picks out just the words you need. Free lets you use one plugin; Pro unlocks all plugins. WORKS WITH SHORTCUTS With App Integrations, Shortcuts and links can copy a clip, send it to another device, open your history, or clean it up by rule. SYNC YOUR WAY • Nearby Sync: devices on the same network find each other. No account needed. • Cloud Sync: across networks, through your own WebDAV or S3 storage. YOUR CLIPBOARD STAYS YOURS Local-first: your clips live on your devices. Cloud Sync goes through storage you own, and with a master password set, clips are encrypted on your device before upload. Your clipboard holds passwords and personal text; it shouldn't sit on someone else's server.
