“I need that thing I just copied.” Stacky is a clipboard history and snippet app where copied text quietly stacks up the moment you open it. Everything stays on your device — never sent to our servers. No ads. ◆ Capture • Auto-capture: Copy in another app, open Stacky, and it stacks into your history. • Save Copy: Select text, pick “Save Copy” from the Share menu, and saving and copying happen in one step. • Back Tap: Assign “Save Clip” under Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Back Tap, then double-tap the back of your iPhone to save without opening the app. • Dynamic Island capture meter: Every save stacks the count in the Dynamic Island. Clip contents are never shown — not on the Lock Screen, not in the Island. You see that it was captured, nothing more (optional). ◆ Find & organize • Automatic types: Links, emails, phone numbers, and numbers are tagged automatically — detected without reading the actual contents. • Manual tags: Add your own tags and filter by chip. • Full-text search (Pro): Pull any clip from your whole stack in an instant by keyword. ◆ Templates • Save go-to greetings and email boilerplate, then copy with a single tap. • Auto variables like {date} and {time} (free). • Custom variables like {name} that you fill in when copying (Pro). ◆ Connect (Pro) • iCloud sync: History and templates stay in sync across iPhone and Mac on the same Apple ID. No account, no login. • Mac companion: Text you “Save Copy” on iPhone lands right on your Mac’s clipboard. ◆ Privacy • Clip contents are stored only on this device and in your own iCloud — never sent to our servers. • No ad SDKs, ever. The clipboard holds sensitive things, so we kept the design quiet and clean. • Optionally skip saving password-like text. ◆ Free • 50 clips of history • 10 templates • All capture methods (auto-capture, Save Copy, Back Tap, Dynamic Island) ◆ Stacky Pro • Unlimited history + full-text search • Unlimited templates + custom variables • iCloud sync + Mac companion Pricing: ¥500/month · ¥3,000/year (¥250/mo) · ¥6,000 one-time Monthly and annual plans are auto-renewing subscriptions. The one-time purchase unlocks Pro permanently with a single payment. Restore anytime via “Restore Purchase.” Start free, and enjoy watching your copies stack up.
