Stop losing what you copied. One Big Clipboard keeps a private, searchable history of everything that touches your clipboard — text, links, images, files, even colors — so the thing you copied an hour ago is one tap away. Most clipboard apps forget fast, or send your copied data to someone else's server. One Big Clipboard does neither. It remembers as much as you want, and it has no servers, no analytics, and no tracking at all. What you copy stays on your device and, if you choose, in your own private iCloud. EVERYTHING YOU COPY, KEPT - A searchable history of text, links, images, files, and colors - Copied hex and rgb() values are recognized and shown with a swatch - Fuzzy, relevance-ranked search finds the right clip fast - On-device OCR reads the text inside screenshots, so you can search images too - Code-aware: language detection and syntax highlighting for snippets of code SMART TOOLS, ON DEVICE - Tap any text clip to evaluate it as math, translate it, summarize it, or rewrite it more concisely - Multi-line clips can be reformatted as a checklist in one tap - Summarize and rewrite use Apple Intelligence on supported iPhones — never a cloud LLM ORGANIZE IT YOUR WAY - Snippets — hand-written reusable clips like signatures and boilerplate - Folders and tags to sort clips, plus pins for the ones you reuse constantly - Linked clips — relate clips captured at different times into one named set - Capture channels — pick an active folder and new clips file themselves into it - Smart Rules that auto-tag, file, or skip clips the moment they arrive - Color-coded filter chips — Text, Link, Email, Phone, Address, Code, Math each in their own color - Context notes — attach a free-text note to any clip so you remember why you kept it - Text transforms (change case, trim, pretty-print JSON, and more) with saved pipelines PASTE ANYWHERE, FAST - A keyboard extension to paste any clip straight into any app - A Share Extension to save into One Big Clipboard from anywhere - Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets for your most recent clips - Browse and filter clips by the app they came from PRIVATE BY DESIGN - Lock an individual clip with AES-256-GCM encryption behind Face ID or Touch ID - Encrypted clips store ciphertext only — only the device with the unlock key can decrypt them - Sensitive-looking clips are flagged and can be blurred - Lock the whole app behind Face ID or Touch ID - Erase everything — clips, folders, and iCloud copies — in one tap FREE, WITH AN OPTIONAL UPGRADE One Big Clipboard is free and fully usable on one device — every clip you save stays at hand for 30 days, and nothing is ever deleted while you decide. Premium unlocks your whole archive and adds private iCloud sync across iPhone, iPad, and the companion Mac app, so a clip copied on one device is on every other in seconds. A one-time purchase, no subscription. There is no account to create and nothing to sign up for. Install One Big Clipboard, copy something, and it is already working.
Kihya Memo
Read full descriptionHide full description
Kihya Memo is a lightweight, offline-first Markdown notepad. Write the source directly, use focused formatting tools, and switch to a beautiful native preview while every note remains a file you can keep. Markdown is the heart of the app. When needed, the same plain-text editor also opens safe UTF-8 text and source documents without converting them to a proprietary database. There is no Kihya account to create and no required Kihya memo server. Google Drive sync and remote server folders are optional. KEY FEATURES • Switch instantly between Markdown source and native preview • Toggle task checkboxes directly in preview • Use focused Markdown tools for headings, lists, bold, italic, strike, code, links, attachments, and underline • Convert pasted rich text into clean Markdown • Create, edit, rename, move, and share HTML, JSON, XML, CSV, PHP, ASP, JavaScript, SQL, and other UTF-8 text or source files when needed • Live syntax colors and line numbers without adding formatting to the file • Static HTML/SVG, pretty JSON/XML, table, calendar, contact, and color-source previews • Plain-text copy and paste for code; rich-text conversion only inside Markdown • Import photos, PDFs, archives, and other files from Photos or Files • Drag, rename, move, and safely remove nested folders in a dedicated manager • Search file names and full note contents • Find, Replace, and Replace All from the title menu, with case options, regex, and capture groups • Choose Save, Discard Changes, or Keep Editing when leaving an unsaved note • Move, rename, trash, or open past versions from the title menu • Open Recently Deleted from the folder list to restore items to their original location or delete them permanently • Optionally protect Recently Deleted with Face ID, Touch ID, or the device passcode • Keep pre-save versions locally and load one into the editor without saving it immediately • Recover the latest local edit draft after an unexpected app termination • Optional marker-texture highlighting for bold and underlined preview text • Preview local images and open clearly marked local-file links • Open and share editable text, source documents, and stored files through the system Files app • Optionally sync original files through a visible app folder in your own Google Drive • Add SFTP, plain FTP, explicit FTPS, or implicit FTPS servers as remote folders, with local recovery drafts, history, conflict detection, and verified saves • Export the visible folder tree as a ZIP without trash or private history • Start writing instantly from a resizable Quick Note Home Screen widget • See a sourced daily thought matched to morning, afternoon, evening, or night • Continue writing beneath a thought and share it as a 4:5 image card • Open a favorite document in full-screen reading mode from the Home Screen • Five bundled Korean typefaces in addition to the system font • Native phone navigation and an iPad three-pane or full-screen editor PRIVACY BY DESIGN • No Kihya sign-up or required login • No ads or cross-app tracking • Google Drive connects only when you choose it; notes are never sent to a Kihya server • Remote connections go directly from your device to the server you enter; credentials use device-only protected storage and remote contents, hosts, paths, and user names are excluded from analytics • SFTP and FTPS are encrypted. Plain FTP is visibly marked and requires a separate warning because its credentials, file names, and contents are not encrypted • Firebase usage events never include note text, file names, searches, or Google account details • Access is limited to local files and files the user explicitly selects • Normal history and recovery drafts stay on device; pre-overwrite sync text is also protected in hidden app data in your Drive
