Snipt
Read full descriptionHide 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.

Pulse answers every question about your iPhone or iPad: how it performs, what your network is doing, who is watching your data, and whether your device and secrets are safe. No faked numbers. No ads. No account. No in-app purchases. Every feature on first launch. DEVICE MONITOR Live CPU with per-core breakdown across performance and efficiency cores. RAM in real time: wired, active, inactive, available. Battery level, charge state, and a live discharge graph. Storage with one-tap cache clear. Thermal state. Device Health Score: a 0 to 100 gauge across CPU, RAM, storage, battery, and uptime. NETWORK WORKBENCH (15 tools) Ping, traceroute with geo path, DNS across 9 record types, port scanner, LAN scanner, Bonjour, Whois, SSL inspector, TLS scanner, speed test, API Request, WebSocket tester, subnet calculator, Wake on LAN, QR codes, and a raw TCP, UDP, and TLS socket client. Live traffic by interface, the routing table, a Wi-Fi toolkit, and Wi-Fi sharing by QR and NFC. SECRETS VAULT AND AUTHENTICATOR A zero knowledge password vault with envelope encryption (AES-256-GCM). Unrecoverable by design: no server, no backdoor. Unlock with a PIN or Face ID. Organize logins, cards, and notes in nested folders. A built in TOTP authenticator and AES file and text encryption. Optional auto lock, clipboard auto clear, and erase after ten failed attempts. iOS AutoFill fills saved logins into other apps and Safari, gated behind Face ID. PRIVACY INSPECTOR Import your iOS App Privacy Report and Pulse parses it on your device. Nothing leaves your phone. See which apps used your location, camera, microphone, contacts, photos, and calendar over the last 7 days, with a heatmap of when. Every domain each app contacted is classified and risk scored against a bundled tracker list. SECURITY CENTER Nine on-device checks produce a 0 to 100 posture score: Passcode, Biometrics, Data Protection, Screen Privacy, Sandbox Integrity, Debugger detection, VPN, HTTP Proxy, and Low Power Mode. Each links to the right iOS Settings page, and an on-device AI advisor tells you what to fix. SSH, SFTP, AND FTP CLIENT Connect over SSH with password, key, or two factor auth, with ProxyJump. Generate Ed25519, RSA, and ECDSA keys on device. Upload, download, and manage files over SFTP. A separate FTP and FTPS manager, and an in app terminal with 59 commands. ON-DEVICE PYTHON IDE Run real Python on your phone, fully offline. Multi-file projects with working imports, a code editor, and a Run console. ADVANCED TOOLS NFC Toolkit: read, write, and inspect NDEF tags (MIFARE, NTAG, ISO14443, ISO15693). BLE Explorer: scan peripherals, browse the GATT tree, and read, write, and subscribe to characteristics. Storage Scanner: find duplicate photos, large videos, screenshots, and cache. Sizes come from system metadata, so iCloud originals are never downloaded. Dev Toolbox: SHA-256 and SHA-512 hashing, Base64, JWT decode, regex tester, UUID and password generators, and Unix epoch converter. SENSORS (23 hardware tests) Motion (accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, barometer), GPS and compass, proximity, NFC, Bluetooth, UWB, Face ID, microphone, speaker, haptics, every camera, LiDAR, torch, multi-touch, and a display color test. Exportable as timestamped CSV. WIDGETS, AI, AND SHORTCUTS Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets plus a RAM Live Activity in the Dynamic Island. On iOS 26 with Apple Intelligence, an on-device AI explains your Health Score and security posture, with no API key and no network call, and all generated text is labelled. Ask Siri to check battery, storage, or network, and find SSH hosts in Spotlight. 10 LANGUAGES English, Arabic (RTL), Simplified Chinese, Spanish, Japanese, German, French, Portuguese, Russian, and Korean. DATA INTEGRITY Every value comes from a real iOS API or is clearly labelled. Values Apple does not expose, like battery cycle count and Wi-Fi signal strength, are never faked. What you see is what the device reports.
