Every copy worth keeping, still there when you need to paste. If you have ever copied an address, switched apps to grab a phone number, and watched the address vanish forever, a real clipboard manager is the fix iOS quietly never shipped. Pastin remembers what you copied five minutes ago, yesterday and last week — snippets, addresses, passwords, code, links — so the second paste is as fast as the first. It behaves as a calm snippet manager rather than another notification factory: capture happens automatically, the copy history is searchable, and the app never tries to be more than the place your clipboard lives. There is no account, no advertising network, and your data stays on this device. Every feature described below is unlocked only with an auto-renewable subscription purchased inside the app. New users receive a 3 day free trial; you may cancel anytime during the trial to avoid being charged. Open Pastin and your full clipboard history is searchable, with auto-detected types for URLs, phone numbers and addresses so the right snippet surfaces by topic, not just by time. Pin favourites like email signatures, support replies and wallet addresses so they live at the top of the list forever, group repeating snippets into folders and tags, and capture new entries directly through the Share Sheet from any app. A Home Screen and Lock Screen widget exposes pinned snippets for quick paste, the clipboard organizer lets you reorder and rename items so the most-used live first, and Siri Shortcuts let you wire copy history into your own automations. The paste manager also handles the messy reality of long-running work: a clip history that grew during a customer support shift can be filtered to a single client, a developer can pull back the regex they wrote three weeks ago, and translators can hold a multi clipboard of source and target strings without juggling notes. Smart format detection means a copied address is recognised as an address and a copied phone number is recognised as a phone number, so quick paste actions like "open in Maps" or "call this number" surface where they make sense. Bulk export lets you walk away with everything in a plain text or CSV file at any time, and the clipboard saver behaviour can be paused for a few minutes when you are entering sensitive data you do not want stored. The clipboard tool is built for developers, customer support agents, writers, translators, sales teams replying to the same five questions all day, and anyone who has ever had to type the same paragraph twice today. The interface ships in 39 languages with full VoiceOver support, runs fully offline, and respects iOS clipboard privacy prompts the way the system intends. Nothing about your clip history is shared with a server, an analytics provider, or a third-party server in the loop. Unlock with Pro: • Unlimited history (free: last 50 items) • Unlimited pinned snippets and folders • All widgets, themes and Shortcuts actions • Smart format detection for URLs, phones and addresses • Bulk export of clipboard history Subscription Pricing & Terms Features require a subscription.

Books. Podcasts. Conversations. A thought that hits mid-run. Most of it disappears before it becomes anything. Kompound is the private library where your ideas keep working. It surfaces forgotten thoughts, reveals unexpected connections, and turns scattered knowledge into insights that compound. CAPTURE IDEAS, INSTANTLY Speak a thought and AI structures it instantly, in any language. Share directly from Safari, articles, videos, or any app with a single tap. Import Kindle highlights in bulk. Extract ideas and quotes from any book just by entering the title. Point your camera at any physical page: Kompound detects the text, freezes the frame, and lets you select exactly the passage you want. Paste messy notes and watch them become organised ideas. Write manually when you prefer. Every idea, wherever it came from, lives in one searchable place. REDISCOVER WHAT MATTERS Your library organises itself automatically, tagged across topics you can explore by theme, source, or time. No folders, no manual sorting. Open any idea and Kompound shows you the most similar ideas from your library, found entirely on your device. Daily reminders bring forgotten thoughts back before they fade, and a Rediscover feature surfaces dormant ideas at exactly the right moment. LET YOUR IDEAS COLLIDE Tap to generate an insight at any time. Kompound searches your entire library and connects ideas that rarely would have met otherwise. A passage from a book, a podcast note, a forgotten observation, a conversation from months ago. The result is a new insight written specifically for you, often ending with a question or tension worth sitting with. Save it and it joins your library, feeding the next round of insights. Ideas generate insights. Insights become new ideas. The loop compounds. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything runs locally on your device. Your ideas stay private and under your control, always. AI is used only when you choose. Built for curious people who read, listen, watch, discuss, and want to think better.
