Desktop-Apps for macOS, Windows and Linux are available for free on http://www.omnicopy.de. Story: I often work on two or more computers in parallel ... coding on one computer, researching on another computer, getting e-mails on my smartphone. Several times a day I come to the point where I just want to quickly copy some text from one device to another. Write an e-mail to myself? Done that. Often. But it is not convenient. Pressing "copy" on one computer and "paste" on the other? Much better! Application: 1.) Copy the text. 2.) Open OmniCopy. The clipboard is now copied to the Dropbox. 3.) On all your devices (e.g. PCs, cell phones, tablets) the text is now available through OmniCopy. General remarks: The OmniCopy iPhone (and iPad) App refreshes itself upon startup and via pull-to-refresh to go easy on your mobile data plan. The desktop-apps however refresh automatically. Right now this app only supports text (UTF-8). Security: OmniCopy uses the Dropbox API. All sent and received data is encrypted. The app only has access to the Dropbox folder "Apps/OmniCopy". If you delete this folder, all access tokens turn invalid.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Timeview at 4.7 against OmniCopy's 3.3. Timeview also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (31 vs 3). OmniCopy's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. OmniCopy sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Timeview sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Timeview holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Timeview has 31 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of OmniCopy's written reviews are positive against 67% of Timeview's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
OmniCopy ships an update every 7 months, Timeview fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on June 3, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
