About

ClipBoard

Features
Read full description

ClipBoard keeps everything you copy in one place and lets you paste it anywhere with its custom keyboard. Copy a piece of text, a link, or an image, then open ClipBoard or its keyboard and the clip is saved to your history. Search it, organize clips into collections, and pin favorites. When you need something back, tap a clip to copy it, drag it into another app, or paste it straight from the ClipBoard keyboard without switching apps. KEY FEATURES • Clipboard history: every clip you save, in one searchable list • ClipBoard keyboard: paste any saved clip into any app • Snippets: save phrases you type often and insert them from the keyboard with one tap • Instant search across everything you've saved • Collections: organize clips into groups that fit how you work • Favorites: keep the important clips a tap away • Drag and drop: drag a clip into any app on iPhone and iPad • Share extension: save text, links, and images from any app's share sheet • Scan Text: capture printed text with your camera, recognized on your device • Link titles (optional): saved links keep their page titles • iCloud sync (optional): your clips and snippets on every device you own HOW CAPTURE WORKS iOS does not let apps read the clipboard in the background. ClipBoard saves the current clipboard each time you open the app or its keyboard, and you can save anything else through the share sheet. Nothing is captured while ClipBoard is closed. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your clips stay on your device. No account, no tracking, and nothing you copy is sent to us. The keyboard reads only the clips you have saved. It never logs what you type. If you turn on sync, it goes through your personal iCloud. CLIPBOARD PRO Your first 10 clips are free, with search, the keyboard, snippets, and iCloud sync included. ClipBoard Pro unlocks all of your history after that. Choose a monthly or yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase.
