TinyClip is a lightweight synced clipboard—anything you copy on one device can be pasted on another. It now supports Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Windows/Linux/HarmonyOS (via the browser), so you can access your clipboard history securely saved in iCloud anytime, anywhere! While keeping sync effortless and secure, TinyClip stays lightweight: 1. Always ready: available from the menubar anytime 2. Fast search: filter by content + tags + source + time + device 3. Easy organizing: pin, edit, delete—keep frequently used items close We hope TinyClip feels like this: you don’t have to remember it exists. Just copy normally—whenever you need it, you can always reach it from whatever device you have in hand.
