NipStash remembers what you copy — so the link you grabbed an hour ago is still there when you finally need it. Open the app and whatever's on your clipboard is stashed automatically, or send text and images straight from any app's share sheet. Tap a clip to copy it back. Type to search. That's the whole app. No account to create, no clutter. WHAT IT DOES • Remembers your clips — captured when you open the app or tap Save Clipboard, de-duplicated, and kept across restarts. Text and images. • Catches from anywhere — share text, links, and pictures to NipStash from any app's share sheet. • Saves the words you type all day — snippets for addresses, replies, and commands, copied in one tap. • Finds anything instantly — one search across your whole history and snippet library. • Locks your secrets — swipe to hide a password behind ••••••••. Revealing takes Face ID, and locked clips are stored encrypted. • Syncs with your Mac — history and snippets follow you to NipStash for macOS via iCloud. Optional, and off in one switch. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your clipboard is yours. Everything is stored on your device. iCloud sync is opt-in and runs through Apple's iCloud, encrypted by Apple in transit and at rest — never through our servers, because we don't have any. Locked clips are encrypted with a key that never leaves your device. Clearing your history erases the iCloud copy too. No account, no telemetry, ever. FREE TO USE NipStash is free and fully usable: your last 25 clips and 3 snippets. NIPSTASH PRO — BUY ONCE, YOURS ON IPHONE AND MAC One purchase unlocks Pro on both platforms (universal purchase): • Clipboard history up to 500 items • Unlimited snippets • Full ⌘1–9 quick-paste and backup & restore on the Mac No subscription.
