No more pulling out your phone. - SAFARI & SYSTEM AUTOFILL Tap a verification-code field in Safari or any iOS 18+ app, choose Jumpstash, done. Zero copy-paste. - MAC MENU-BAR APP One click in the menu bar, see your code, copy, dismiss. No System Settings detour. - FACE ID & TOUCH ID LOCK Codes hide behind biometric authentication.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Skip Search holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Jumpstash has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Skip Search's written reviews are positive against 100% of Jumpstash's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Skip Search ships an update fortnightly, Jumpstash every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on June 24, 2026 and September 14, 2026 respectively.
