Copy text on your Mac. Paste it on your iPhone. ClipBridge makes it easy to move copied text between work and personal devices—even when they use different iCloud accounts. Pair your devices with a QR code, then receive your Mac clipboard on iPhone over the same Wi-Fi network. WHY CLIPBRIDGE • Works across different iCloud accounts • Simple QR code pairing • Encrypted transfer over your local network • Auto Copy for faster pasting • Background Receiving using Picture in Picture • Local clipboard history • Support for multiple paired iPhones • Per-device sync controls on Mac BUILT FOR WORK AND PERSONAL DEVICES ClipBridge is useful when your Mac and iPhone belong to different accounts, organizations, or device-management environments. Copy links, notes, addresses, codes, and other text without sending yourself a message. PRIVACY BY DESIGN Clipboard content is encrypted before transfer. ClipBridge does not read your current iPhone clipboard. It only writes received text when you tap Copy or enable Auto Copy. REQUIREMENTS • ClipBridge must be installed on both Mac and iPhone • Local sync requires both devices to be on the same Wi-Fi network • Background Receiving depends on Picture in Picture availability and iOS system behavior
