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/

About

Tear Line

Your whole thought. One post at a time. Tear Line helps you turn long writing into a thread, without losing control of where each post ends. Paste your text, choose a character limit, and refine the breaks before you copy or share. BREAK WHERE IT MAKES SENSE Automatic splitting looks for natural sentence and paragraph boundaries. Tap a word to start a new post there, move a break one word at a time, or merge neighboring posts. Undo lets you step back through break edits. MAKE EVERY POST YOURS • Choose 280, 300, 500, or 4000 characters, or enter your own limit. • Use Pack tight to fit more text into each post. • Add post numbering, such as 1/3. • Add an ellipsis, dash, arrow, or custom ending. • Leave the last post's ending off for a clean finish. • Remove single periods at line breaks. • See a live character count and clear over-limit warnings. COPY, SHARE, KEEP YOUR PLACE Copy posts individually and see which ones you have already copied. Share a post using the system share sheet, or copy the whole thread with your choice of separators. A QUIET SPACE TO WRITE Use Tear Line on iPhone or iPad, in light or dark mode, with six accent colors. Your splitting and appearance preferences are remembered between launches. WORKS OFFLINE All text splitting happens on your device. Tear Line has no account, advertising, or analytics SDKs, and does not upload your writing to a server. Copying uses the system clipboard; sharing sends only the text you choose to the destination you select. GOOD TO KNOW Draft text is kept for the current session, not saved as a document. Copy or share anything you want to keep before closing the app. Character counts use Unicode scalars; the service where you post may count emoji, links, or other text differently. Check its counter before publishing. No ads, subscriptions, or in-app purchases.
