Snipt

Read full description

Snipt - Clip & Sync is a powerful clipboard manager and personal vault for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. CLIPBOARD HISTORY Never lose a copied item again. On Mac, Snipt automatically saves everything you copy into a searchable history. On iPhone and iPad, save the latest copy with a single tap, or send text and links straight to Snipt from any app's Share sheet — iOS doesn't allow apps to watch the clipboard in the background, so nothing is ever captured without you. Items are auto-classified into smart categories — links, code, emails, phone numbers, addresses, colors, and more — so you find what you need fast. SMART CAPTURE (iPhone) Point your camera at any text — business cards, Wi-Fi credentials, serial numbers, login info — and Snipt automatically recognizes, parses, and structures the fields. Edit fields after capture and copy them one tap at a time. QUICK LINKS Pin your most-used URLs for one-tap access from the menu bar or app. SNIPPETS & TEMPLATES Save frequently used text as snippets with variables. Perfect for email templates, code, signatures, and boilerplate. Trigger them from the Snipt keyboard, menu bar, or app. SECURE NOTES Store passwords, account numbers, license keys, or any sensitive text in protected notes, locked behind Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode. RECOVERY KEYS Keep your 2FA recovery codes and backup keys in one place, protected by device authentication. Export to CSV when you need an offline backup. SMART ACTIONS Snipt detects the type of content you've copied and offers one-tap actions — open a URL, dial a number, email an address, navigate to a location, and more. iCLOUD SYNC Your data syncs across all your Apple devices via iCloud. The sync status is honest — if iCloud is unreachable or your storage is full, Snipt tells you clearly so nothing is silently stuck. KEYBOARD EXTENSION Access your clipboard history, pinned items, snippets, and scanned data directly from any app with the Snipt keyboard. SMART ORGANIZATION - Collections to organize your clips by topic or project - Frequent tab for your most-used items - Pin important items - Automatic deduplication and a Remove Duplicates tool - Full-text search across everything MAC FEATURES - Menu bar quick access with clipboard, snippets, scanned items, and quick links - Configurable global shortcut to summon Snipt from any app - Background clipboard monitoring - Sidebar with smart categories, collections, snippets, recovery keys, secure notes, and quick links PRIVACY FIRST - Zero third-party services — your devices sync only through Apple iCloud - No analytics, no tracking, no ads, no account required - Privacy label: "Data Not Collected" - Built 100% on Apple technologies — your data never touches a third-party server.

CONNECT NEARBY Discover devices on your local network, use Bluetooth, or connect Apple devices over peer-to-peer Wi-Fi without joining the same network. Keep MeshDrop open on both devices; peer-to-peer Wi-Fi requires Wi-Fi to be enabled.

Preview or share received files, and optionally copy received text to the clipboard automatically.

The app follows your system language. Update both devices to MeshDrop 1.1 or later for encrypted native transfers. Earlier clients using the old unencrypted protocol cannot connect to this version.
