NexPaste is an ultra-lightweight clipboard manager that remembers everything you copy and keeps it in sync across Mac, iPad, and iPhone. Here’s what that means in everyday terms: 1. You copy it. NexPaste remembers it. 2. Your privacy matters. NexPaste works locally, so you can use it without an internet connection. It uses no third-party SDKs and is built entirely in Swift with Apple’s native frameworks. You can also exclude password managers and other sensitive apps, so NexPaste won’t save anything you copy from them. You’re in control of those settings. 3. You get three panel styles. Press a keyboard shortcut, and the panel appears in the center of your screen by default. You can move it to the top, left, or right instead. There’s also a mini panel in the menu bar. Still need more options? Tell me what you’d like, and I’ll build it. 4. Cloud sync runs on Apple’s iCloud. NexPaste uses Apple’s native iCloud framework, with no third-party cloud services involved. Your synced data uses storage in your own iCloud account. Simple as that. 【Membership & Subscriptions】 NexPaste’s basic features are free to use. Upgrade to Pro to unlock all premium features. Subscription details: - Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account upon confirmation of purchase. - Your subscription will renew automatically unless you turn off auto-renewal at least 24 hours before the current subscription period ends. - Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period. - You can manage your subscription or turn off auto-renewal in your Apple ID account settings after purchase.

The hard part is not always doing a task. Sometimes it is remembering it at the right moment. PinLists gives everyday plans a place to stay visible, from errands and packing lists to the little things you plan with someone else. CAPTURE IT Add a task and choose its list, due date and reminder in the same flow. Turn speech into text in the app, or add a task through Shortcuts. Review recognized text before saving it. KEEP IT IN VIEW Pin pending tasks to a Lock Screen list and check off eligible items there. Add a Home Screen widget for another quick view. Lock Screen lists use iOS Live Activities; iOS controls their duration, number and arrangement. FIND THE DETAILS Search task titles, notes, completion notes and messages. Narrow results by list, status or tags. Leave a completion note to remember how something got done. WORK TOGETHER Share a selected list through iCloud. Members can discuss tasks with messages and replies, then mark the work complete. Personal tasks stay on your device. Joining someone else's shared list does not require Pro. Core task management is free. Pro unlocks creating shared lists, preselecting two separate Lock Screen lists, more themes and appearance options, and advanced reminders. Pro is available as a monthly or yearly subscription or a lifetime purchase. The App Store purchase sheet shows your local price.
