Clipboard Space
Read full descriptionHide 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?

Filepad Markdown
Read full descriptionHide full description
Filepad opens the Markdown you already have — in iCloud Drive, Dropbox, Google Drive, or on this iPhone — and leaves it exactly where it is. Nothing is copied into the app. Nothing is uploaded anywhere. FINDS WHAT IS QUIETLY WRONG HTML tells you when you break it. Markdown does not — it just renders differently, and you never notice. Filepad reads your document the way the renderer does and points at the lines that will not come out the way you meant: a heading with no space after the #, a table row with the wrong number of cells, an unclosed link, a footnote with no definition. One tap fixes what can be fixed by adding text. Nothing is ever deleted to "fix" something. READS PROPERLY Headings, tables, task lists, quotes, code blocks, footnotes, front matter, and [[wiki links]] between documents in the same folder. Jump by heading with the outline, or with the four navigation buttons that sit under your thumb. FINDS THINGS Search inside a document with every hit highlighted, or search a whole folder and see which files hold what you are looking for. Sort by name or by when you last changed something. EDITS AND SAVES CAREFULLY Edit the source with a toolbar for the marks you forget, and a line that tells you what the cursor is sitting on. Saving is atomic, and the previous version is kept beside the file so an edit can be undone. If the file changed outside the app while you were editing, Filepad does not overwrite it — it saves your version alongside and asks you. ALSO OPENS PDF, HTML AND TEXT PDFs and web documents are view-only. HTML is drawn with network access blocked at two independent layers, and when a document tries to reach the internet for an image or a script, Filepad says so on screen instead of quietly fetching it. WHAT IT DOES NOT DO No account. No sync service of ours. No analytics, no advertising, no tracking. The app makes no network requests at all. Your folders, your files, your device. Free, and staying free.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Filepad Markdown at none against Clipboard Space's 1. On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
