Quickly and easily access your files (Photos, Images, Videos, Documents and more), you can also create text notes and URL links from the web or social networks (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, Youtube, WhatsApp, among others). Many times we need to open important files such as: ID documents, tax documents, digital certificates and even vaccination certificates to access different places, and we have had to search for these files among the folders of our device, sometimes without being sure where they really are. It is no longer necessary to perform these searches every time we need to open them, just add the files or share them from any other app so that it will never be difficult to find them again. This app started as a project to have a quick access to our vaccination certificate, however, it had potential for much more. The tickets to enter the cinema to see our favorite movie is very easy and comfortable. It was no longer necessary to send the files to our friend or family by WhastApp or any other app to be accessible, to all this was included the option to create text notes and register URL links to save any important information or have quick access to any publication, social networking profile, websites and even information that we have stored in the cloud. The features of this app make it unique and versatile allowing interaction with many other apps to share files or data with each other. Its simple design makes it very intuitive for any type of user, from the most advanced to those who are not very familiar with technology.

Everything you copy, kept — and one tap away in any app. Clipboard remembers what you copy so you can paste it back later, from a keyboard that works anywhere on your iPhone. No more copying something twice because you lost the first one. THE KEYBOARD IS THE POINT Switch to the Clipboard keyboard in any app, and your history is right there. Tap a clip to insert it. No app switching, no losing your place in what you were writing. SYNC WITH YOUR MAC Sign in, and what you copy on your Mac appears on your iPhone within seconds, and the other way round. Copy a link at your desk, paste it into a message on the bus. WHAT YOU GET • Your recent clips, searchable • Pin the ones you use constantly so they never age out • Favourites for the text you retype all day • Images and links, not just plain text • A built-in QR and barcode scanner — whatever the code holds is saved as a clip • Light and dark, with a keyboard that matches HONEST ABOUT TWO THINGS The keyboard needs Full Access, because iOS will not let a keyboard read the clipboard or your saved history without it. No keystrokes are recorded and nothing is logged — the keyboard reads the clipboard only while it is on screen. And iOS does not allow any keyboard to insert an image directly. Tapping an image clip copies it, and you paste it with a long press. That is a limit of iOS rather than of this app, and we would rather say so here than have you discover it later. GETTING STARTED Settings › General › Keyboard › Keyboards › Add New Keyboard › Clipboard, then turn on Allow Full Access. The app walks you through it.
