Copyboard is a simple productivity tool to copy frequently-used text snippets to your device pasteboard with just a single tap. Create items that are displayed in an intuitive list: Each item displays a descriptive title alongside its copyable content. Tapping an item copies the text to the pasteboard for you to quickly share or use in other apps. Items can be organized using tags and favorites, and can be sorted alphabetically, by date, or by the number of times they’ve been copied. A search bar allows you to find a specific item using its description. Simple & fast, that’s Copyboard. Copyboard uses iCloud so your list is automatically synchronized across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. All your data stays private to you. Copyboard should not be used to store sensitive data, for example, passwords. --- Some of the content discussed above requires an in-app purchase: The free version of Copyboard allows you to view up to 2 (two) items in your list. Copyboard Plus is required to add more than two items, for tags, for favoriting items, and for sort and search functionality. Copyboard contains no ads. Copyboard Plus is required for the additional features and capabilities mentioned above, which can be accessed by either an auto-renewing subscription or a one-time in-app purchase. --- Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at the confirmation of purchase. The subscription automatically renews unless it is canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage and cancel your subscriptions by going to your App Store account settings after purchase. Cancellation of the current active subscription period is not allowed. --- Privacy Policy: https://sites.google.com/view/lazycatapps/home/copyboard/privacy-policy Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula

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.
