Clipboard Space

Read full description

Clipboard Space is the clipboard manager for iPhone that keeps whole files — PDFs, documents, images — alongside the text you copy, on your phone and on every other screen in the room. iPhone's clipboard only holds one thing. Clipboard Space keeps your whole history, so that paragraph you copied this morning is still there tonight. PASTE WITHOUT SWITCHING APPS Clipboard's own keyboard puts your history one tap away inside any app — favorites on their own page, everything else beside them. It asks for Allow Full Access: by default the keyboard only reads what the app has already saved on your iPhone, and it has no network access at all. Turn on Capture from Keyboard in Settings and it will also save new text you copy while the keyboard is open — still entirely on your iPhone. BROADCAST HUB — SHARE WITH ANY DEVICE Turn your iPhone into a private clipboard server. Open the address it gives you in any browser on the same Wi-Fi — Mac, Windows PC, iPad, even your TV — and your clips are waiting. Copy from the page, or send text and files from your computer straight back to your iPhone. Tap any clip on the page to read it in full, edit its text or title, or preview an image. No app needed on the other side, no account, no cloud: nothing ever leaves your network. NEVER LOSE A COPY AGAIN • Automatically captures what you copy • Texts, links, images, and files — all in one place • Smart filters: All, Texts, Images, Links, Files FIND ANYTHING IN SECONDS Instant search across every clip you've saved. The thing you copied last week is one keyword away. ORGANIZE YOUR WAY • Star favorites into their own Favorites tab • Add titles to clips: "Wi-Fi password", "Office address", "IBAN" • Drag to reorder, tap to edit • Save from any app with the Share Sheet PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything is stored locally on your iPhone and never uploaded. Lock the app with Face ID, Touch ID, or a passcode — and keep your clipboard out of the keyboard with one switch in Settings. SPEAKS YOUR LANGUAGE English, 繁體中文, 简体中文, 日本語, 한국어, Deutsch, Français, Español — the app, the Share Sheet, and the Broadcast Hub page all follow your language. FREE FOR 3 MONTHS Every feature is free for your first 3 months — capture, unlimited history, Broadcast Hub, everything. After the trial, browsing, copying and downloading stay free; a Pro subscription keeps capture and editing going. • No subscription starts by itself — you're charged only if you choose to subscribe • Monthly subscription, cancel anytime Questions or ideas?
