SnipTray is a powerful clipboard manager for Mac and iPhone that remembers everything you copy โ€” text, links, images, and files โ€” so you never lose a clip again. CLIPBOARD HISTORY Every time you copy something, SnipTray saves it. Press โŒ˜โ‡งV (customizable) to open a beautiful horizontal overlay at the bottom of your screen, browse your history as visual cards, and paste any item instantly. Search by text, filter by type, and organize clips into color-coded categories. CROSS-DEVICE SYNC (SnipTray Pro) Copy a URL on your Mac, paste it on your iPhone. SnipTray syncs your text and link clips across all your devices via iCloud with end-to-end encryption โ€” Apple can't read your data, and neither can we. Password manager clips (1Password, Bitwarden, etc.) are automatically excluded from sync. SNIPPETS Create reusable text templates โ€” email signatures, code blocks, boilerplate replies โ€” and paste them anytime from the Snippets tab in the overlay. TEXT TRANSFORMS Right-click any text clip to transform it: UPPERCASE, lowercase, Title Case, trim whitespace, URL encode/decode, Base64 encode/decode, JSON pretty print, HTML escape, and more. CATEGORIES & COLORS Organize your clips into named, color-coded categories. Right-click a category tab to rename it or change its color. Drag clips between categories to keep your workflow organized. SMART DEDUPLICATION Copy the same text twice? SnipTray recognizes it and bubbles the existing clip to the top instead of creating a duplicate. Your history stays clean automatically.
