Keyboardrop

Read full description

Keyboardrop is a simple clipboard helper that lets you collect the text, URLs, and images you copy as temporary "drops." Saved drops are always a tap away from the built-in keyboard, so you can paste what you need — in order — into chats, notes, browsers, and AI apps. You can also add to Keyboardrop straight from the share sheet, such as from Maps or Photos. WHEN IT HELPS • Reuse something you just copied in a different app • Collect images, maps, and URLs and paste them right into a chat • Bring long text or several prompts into an input field together • Hand a drop to another device or a person nearby via QR FEATURES • Drop up to 10 items (text / URL / image) • Tap to paste from the built-in keyboard • Add to Keyboardrop directly from the share sheet • Automatic title and preview image for URLs • Send and receive drops via QR code • Auto-delete on a timer (10 min / 30 min / 1 hour / today / manual) • English / Japanese • iPhone / iPad HOW TO USE 1. Copy text or a URL, or share a photo or map 2. Add a drop from the keyboard's Save button or from Keyboardrop in the share sheet 3. Open the Keyboardrop keyboard in the app where you want to paste 4. Tap the drop you want to insert To hand a drop to another device, touch and hold it, choose "Send via QR," and scan the code on the other device. PRIVACY • No account required. • Drops are stored on your device. • We don't collect any data. • Nothing is sent to our servers. • We connect to a linked site only when fetching a URL preview. ABOUT FULL ACCESS The keyboard needs "Full Access" to save what's on your clipboard. Full Access is used only for saving and pasting — it never collects your input or sends it anywhere. Keep your copies in Keyboardrop, only when you need them.

See exactly how your note looks, then jump back to writing. FULLY OFFLINE, FULLY YOURS Your notes are stored as standard markdown files in the app's own folder on your device.

The list keeps your most recently edited notes at the top. SHARE WHEN YOU WANT Export any note as markdown text through the standard share sheet. SIMPLE BY DESIGN - Light and dark themes - English and Japanese - Portrait, one-handed friendly layout - Free to use (contains ads) Notedown is the calm, lightweight alternative to heavy note apps — just markdown, and nothing in your way.
