A delightfully simple space for those text snippets you copy and paste a bunch. We've all got those things we keep copy and pasting from notes. Insta hashtags, the pancake recipe your friends always ask about, meaningful quotes, top 10 lists, and so on. Clipbud makes finding and copying any of those a breeze. 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. RECENTS Clipbud has a row for things you've copied recently, making finding them again even easier. FINE-GRAIN CLIPBOARD SETTINGS By default Clipbud will only read your clipboard when you press tap the "Paste" button. You can change how and when Clipbud accesses your clipboard in Settings. Clipbud can only access your clipboard while using the app, and nothing is stored unless you say so. DELIGHTFUL INTERFACE Sounds, haptics, and fun patterns that move with your device means there's a lot to enjoy when using Clipbud. TRULY PRIVATE All data is stored on your device and backed up to your iCloud account. No one else has access to it. There are no ads, trackers, or third-party APIs of any sort.

Features

blank is the fastest way to write markdown on iPhone. Your notes are a folder of plain .md files you own — nothing copied, nothing converted. Open an existing folder or create a new one, and start writing. Everything is local-first: no account, no analytics, no lock-in. Writing first - Live markdown styling as you type — headings, bold, lists, quotes, and code styled in place, never a split-pane preview. - Reading mode hides the markers for a clean read; focus mode fades everything but your words. - A markdown keyboard bar, smart lists, and a typeface chosen for long-form writing. Find anything, instantly - Full-text search as you type, with the match highlighted. - A quick switcher to jump to any note. - Wikilinks and backlinks to connect your notes; tags to group them. Yours, forever - Plain .md files, readable by any other app. Works in place on existing folders, including Obsidian vaults. - Store your notes on your iPhone or in your own iCloud Drive. - Light and dark, built natively for iOS. No sign-up. No subscription wall to start writing. Just a blank page, and your words.
