CopySage - Clipboard Inspector Ever wondered why your paste operations don't work as expected? CopySage reveals exactly what's in your clipboard. Born from frustration with paste formatting issues, CopySage is a diagnostic tool that provides detailed insights into your device's pasteboard (clipboard) content. What started as a quick debugging solution is now a powerful analyzer that can save you hours of troubleshooting. THE STORY I was struggling to paste text with links into email clients and messaging apps with proper formatting. Despite countless attempts, nothing workedβ€”yet other apps pasted similar content perfectly. After building a quick diagnostic tool to inspect what successful apps were putting in the pasteboard, I discovered I was missing a critical type. Ten minutes later, everything pasted beautifully. If this app saves someone else days of aggravation, it will have been worth it. WHAT IT ANALYZES Text - Content with encoding details Images - Dimensions and format information URLs - Web links and deep links Colors - RGB and HSB values Dates & Times - Temporal data Numbers - Numeric values Files - Document information Raw Data - Binary content with hex viewer PERFECT FOR Developers debugging pasteboard interactions Discovering what format apps use when copying content Troubleshooting failed paste operations Inspecting rich content before pasting Understanding how the clipboard works HOW IT WORKS Copy any content from any app on your device Open CopySage Tap the paste button (you'll be asked to allow clipboard access each time) Browse the detected pasteboard items Tap any item for detailed information and preview The app handles multiple format representations of the same content, as apps often place several versions in the pasteboard for compatibility. YOUR PRIVACY MATTERS CopySage only reads your pasteboard when you tap the paste button. It does not store, transmit, or track any clipboard content. All analysis happens locally on your device. Simple. Local. Essential for anyone working with clipboard data.

Carry your remote tmux session in your pocket. Close the app; the work keeps running. CekTerm is an SSH terminal for iPhone and iPad. It never owns your work β€” the real thing is the tmux session on the remote host, and the app is just a client you can throw away and reattach at any time. So switching apps, running out of battery, losing signal underground, even swiping the app out of the multitasking list: that build, training run, deploy or AI agent is still going. Open it again and the screen picks up exactly where you left off. Features β€’ Sessions live in remote tmux Disconnects, app switches and dead batteries do not matter β€” come back, attach to the same session, and the half-finished work is still there. β€’ Local scrollback, scrolling never hits the network tmux control mode returns a linear output stream, so history is stored on the phone and scrolling back feels like scrolling any other page. β€’ Session names stay on the phone If the remote tmux session is gone, its entry remains in the list β€” one tap rebuilds it with the same name and settings. β€’ Keys are generated on the device Ed25519 or ECDSA, straight into the Keychain β€” no copying a private key across machines, which is where keys usually leak. β€’ Input built for a phone A dedicated row for Ctrl/Alt/arrows, frequent commands as reorderable tabs, and floating Enter and clear buttons you can drag anywhere. β€’ An exit key that reads the context It asks the remote what is running first: q for less, Ctrl-D for python, Ctrl-C twice for an agent β€” and for vim it asks whether to save. β€’ Pick the remote folder and shell Browse the remote directory tree while creating a session; the shell list is read from that host, so you do not have to remember paths. β€’ Upload files over SFTP Send several files at once to any remote folder and leave the page while it transfers. The file only appears at its final path once complete, so an interruption never leaves half a file behind. β€’ Voice input Speak a line, get text, review it before sending β€” or run it straight away. Long commands are painful to type on a phone. β€’ Six interface languages and multiple themes The interface language is independent of the system setting, and the terminal has six colour schemes of its own. Security β€’ Private keys, passphrases and passwords live in the Keychain, readable only after the device is unlocked, and never leave this device via iCloud Keychain or encrypted backups. β€’ Host keys use TOFU: the key is recorded on first connect and must match exactly every time after; a mismatch aborts the connection and shows both fingerprints. β€’ Biometric lock: protect the app with Face ID or Touch ID and lock it the moment it goes to the background. β€’ Remote clipboard reads are refused: OSC 52 is implemented for writing only and never answers a read query. β€’ Settings export contains no private keys or passwords β€” those stay in the Keychain. What you need A remote host you are authorised to log into, with tmux installed (Linux or macOS). Please use Ed25519 keys: RSA private keys can no longer authenticate against OpenSSH 8.8 and later. This app does not try to be a full SFTP browser or a port-forwarding tool β€” a desktop SSH client is better at those. It focuses on one thing: watching a long-running session from a phone.
