Features
Read full description

Bring the text you need into one place. CopyLion helps you collect copied text from AI chats, websites, notes and other apps. Arrange and edit Text-Snippets, then copy them together as one final response. • Add text manually, paste it, or send it through the Share Sheet or a Shortcut. • Reorder, edit and split Text-Snippets, with undo and redo. • Save your work in Collections and find reusable text with search and Favorites. • Extract text from a screenshot or photo on your device and review it before saving. • Keep your data locally by default, with no account required for local use. • Optionally connect supported devices with end-to-end encrypted sync, including browser QR pairing. CopyLion does not generate or rewrite text, monitor your clipboard in the background, or send your text to an AI service. There is no tracking. Free includes 30 Text-Snippet creations and 3 first-time Collection saves in total. Deleting content does not restore a free use. CopyLion Pro Lifetime removes both limits with a one-time purchase. No subscription.
