Simply open the app, tap on the one you want, and it's on your clipboard ready to be shared. COPYING IS A BREEZE Clipbud puts any text you add to the app a tap away. There's no limit to the length of the snippet either. Paragraphs and line breaks are kept for readability. SEARCH IS EASY Clipbud's search makes finding whatever you need lightning fast.
