Stop retyping the same things over and over. Clipboard keeps all the texts you use every day β€” IBAN, addresses, email replies, links, codes, phone numbers β€” 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 β€œvat”: 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. Tap a clip in the widget: it's copied instantly. Small, medium and large sizes.

A-DISK is a local file manager and backup tool. No account is required, and your files do not need to be uploaded to a cloud service. KEY FEATURES β€’ Browse, copy, move, rename, delete, and organize files and folders β€’ Add a USB drive, iCloud Drive, or another external location with the system Files picker β€’ Back up and restore photos, videos, contacts, and documents β€’ Preview images, videos, audio, and text files β€’ Protect files with Secure Encryption or Fast Lock β€’ Save photos, videos, and recordings to the location you choose β€’ Protect the app with a launch password and biometric authentication iOS EXTERNAL STORAGE On iPhone and iPad, A-DISK uses the system file picker so you can explicitly authorize a folder. Without a physical drive, you can select a test folder in Files and use the same workflow. iOS does not provide a general App Store API for directly ejecting a USB drive; disconnection is managed by the system Files app. PRIVACY File processing takes place between your device and the locations you authorize. The current version contains no advertising, behavioral analytics, cross-app tracking, or cloud upload service. See the privacy policy for permission and local-storage details.
