Read full descriptionHide full description
Pasly makes your clipboard history available across Mac, iPhone, and iPad. Keep important links, text, images, and files within reach without emailing them to yourself or relying on your devices being nearby. With Pasly Cloud, your clipboard history syncs through your private CloudKit database using Appleβs iCloud infrastructure. Pasly does not operate separate servers to store or sync your clipboard content. KEY FEATURES β’ Smart Clipboard History: Automatically captures text, links, images, and files you copy on your Mac. β’ Cross-Device Sync: Access your clipboard history across your Macs, iPhone, and iPad, even when the devices are not nearby or connected to the same network. β’ File Sync: Sync files copied on your Mac through CloudKit, including multiple files at once. β’ Smart Paste: Bring recent clipboard items directly into your regular Command-V workflow on Mac. β’ Paste Stack: Copy multiple items and paste them one after another. β’ Search & Favorites: Quickly find important clipboard items and keep frequently used content close at hand. β’ Live Activities & Dynamic Island: Keep recent clipboard items accessible from your iPhone Lock Screen or Dynamic Island. β’ Push Notifications: Get notified when new clipboard content arrives from another device. β’ Native Apple Experience: Built for macOS, iOS, and iPadOS with a fast, familiar interface. PRIVACY FIRST Your clipboard content is stored and synced through your private CloudKit database associated with your iCloud account. It uses Appleβs iCloud infrastructure instead of Pasly-owned clipboard sync servers. On Mac, Pasly can automatically capture supported clipboard content. Due to iOS and iPadOS system restrictions, adding new clipboard items from those devices currently requires a manual action. Make your clipboard history available wherever you work with Pasly.

Scan your documents. Keep them handy. Share on your terms. Keep IDs, passports, insurance, contracts and receipts in one place on iPhone and iPad. SCAN AND ORGANIZE Scan paper documents or import from Files and Photos. Review the details before saving, organize documents in personal folders and search recognized text. DATES WITHOUT RETYPING Amano suggests expiry dates. You check and confirm them. Set a reminder before a document expires. SHARE COPIES Add a signature or watermark to supported PDF and image copies. Say who the copy is for and why, while leaving your stored original unchanged. A watermark communicates intended use; it cannot prevent someone copying or reusing a file. COPY USEFUL DETAILS Extract useful information from your documents on your device. Copy one field or all extracted details. Check the results against the original. Smart extraction requires a compatible device with Apple Intelligence enabled and its model downloaded; availability also depends on supported languages and regions. PERSONAL iCLOUD BACKUP Keep documents on your device and optionally back them up in your own iCloud account. No Amano account is required. Storage depends on available device and iCloud space. 7 DAYS FREE. THEN PAY ONCE. New customers get seven days with all features unlocked, subject to device availability. Purchase permanent access whenever you choose. No subscription and no automatic charge. After the trial, saved documents remain viewable and exportable as plain copies, without adding an Amano signature or watermark. Previously extracted information remains copyable. A purchase is required to keep adding documents and using paid features. If you first downloaded Amano from the App Store before this trial release went live, you keep full access permanently at no extra cost. Existing purchases remain valid. Made by M&D in Madrid.
