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.
