Direct paste requires event-posting permission; manual copy is available without it. Closing search leaves capture running. iPhone and iPad still require foreground clipboard access. Premium expiry preserves your saved data. Mac keeps search, manual copy, and deletion; iPhone and iPad offer 20 accessible free clips. Update all devices to use the new iCloud sync system.

About

Stacky

“I need that thing I just copied.” Stacky is a clipboard history and snippet app where copied text quietly stacks up the moment you open it. Everything stays on your device — never sent to our servers. No ads. ◆ Capture • Auto-capture: Copy in another app, open Stacky, and it stacks into your history. • Save Copy: Select text, pick “Save Copy” from the Share menu, and saving and copying happen in one step. • Back Tap: Assign “Save Clip” under Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Back Tap, then double-tap the back of your iPhone to save without opening the app. • Dynamic Island capture meter: Every save stacks the count in the Dynamic Island. Clip contents are never shown — not on the Lock Screen, not in the Island. You see that it was captured, nothing more (optional). ◆ Find & organize • Automatic types: Links, emails, phone numbers, and numbers are tagged automatically — detected without reading the actual contents. • Manual tags: Add your own tags and filter by chip. • Full-text search (Pro): Pull any clip from your whole stack in an instant by keyword. ◆ Templates • Save go-to greetings and email boilerplate, then copy with a single tap. • Auto variables like {date} and {time} (free). • Custom variables like {name} that you fill in when copying (Pro). ◆ Connect (Pro) • iCloud sync: History and templates stay in sync across iPhone and Mac on the same Apple ID. No account, no login. • Mac companion: Text you “Save Copy” on iPhone lands right on your Mac’s clipboard. ◆ Privacy • Clip contents are stored only on this device and in your own iCloud — never sent to our servers. • No ad SDKs, ever. The clipboard holds sensitive things, so we kept the design quiet and clean. • Optionally skip saving password-like text. ◆ Free • 50 clips of history • 10 templates • All capture methods (auto-capture, Save Copy, Back Tap, Dynamic Island) ◆ Stacky Pro • Unlimited history + full-text search • Unlimited templates + custom variables • iCloud sync + Mac companion Pricing: ¥500/month · ¥3,000/year (¥250/mo) · ¥6,000 one-time Monthly and annual plans are auto-renewing subscriptions. The one-time purchase unlocks Pro permanently with a single payment. Restore anytime via “Restore Purchase.” Start free, and enjoy watching your copies stack up.
