Clipman
Read full descriptionHide full description
Clipman is an accessible clipboard manager for iPhone and iPad. It keeps useful text, links, formatting and images close at hand without turning clipboard history into a complicated, mouse-first workflow. Use Clipman locally without creating an account, or connect to an optional self-hosted Clipman Server to share encrypted clipboard history between your iPhone and iPad. HISTORY THAT REMAINS USEFUL - Search text, links and rich text. - Pin important entries and arrange them into groups. - Name, edit, view or delete saved clips. - Filter history by group or contributing device. - Sort entries manually, by date or by text. - Preserve supported rich text, links and shared images. BUILT FOR ACCESSIBILITY Clipman is designed for efficient use with VoiceOver. Controls expose meaningful names, roles, values and actions, while each history entry remains a single, predictable navigation stop. VoiceOver actions provide quick access to viewing, editing, pinning, deleting, sharing and other relevant commands. WORK ACROSS DEVICES Clipman Server is optional and self-hosted. Clipboard history is encrypted on your device before upload, and the server cannot decrypt it. Local history remains available when the server cannot be reached and changes merge after reconnection. You can also keep an encrypted history backup in a document-provider folder of your choice. Server tokens, passwords and settings are not included in that backup. MORE WAYS TO WORK - Add text or supported images through the system Share sheet. - Use Siri and Shortcuts to add the current clipboard or copy the latest clip. - Assign Clipman actions to the iPhone Action Button. - Enable optional authentication whenever Clipman returns to the foreground. - Choose sounds, haptics, deletion confirmation and clipboard behaviour per device. - Import or export Clipman history and server connection files. Clipman is free and open source. Optional tips support development but do not unlock features, content or services.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Flip Unit at none against Clipman's 3. Clipman's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs monthly). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
