Stop retyping the same things over and over. Clipboard keeps all the texts you use every day — IBAN, addresses, email replies, links, codes, phone numbers — and copies them in ONE tap. Right from the app, or straight from your Home Screen widget. YOUR SHORTCUT KEYBOARD (NEW) Add the Clipboard keyboard and switch to it with the globe key. Give a clip a shortcut word like “vat”: type it, tap the suggestion, and the word is replaced with your full VAT number (Pro). It works in WhatsApp, Mail, Messages, Safari and any other app. You can also paste any saved clip straight from the keyboard, for free. Full Access is only used to read the clips saved on your iPhone. Nothing you type is recorded, stored or sent. COPY IN ONE TAP Tap a clip and it's copied. Paste it anywhere: Messages, WhatsApp, Mail, Safari, Notes, forms… No more digging through old notes or emails. INTERACTIVE HOME SCREEN WIDGETS Your favorite clips live on your Home Screen.
