Your clipboard should remember more than one thing. Clipy gives your iPhone and Mac a searchable history of recent copied text, plus a simple way to send clips directly to trusted Apple devices nearby. No account. No cloud. Just the text you need, ready to use again. CLIPBOARD HISTORY Keep up to 100 recent text clips, newest first. See where a clip came from, then copy it back whenever you need it. NEARBY SHARING Connect trusted Apple devices on your local network and send your latest clip directly between them. Sessions are verified and encrypted, with no cloud account required. FAST SEARCH Search your history by copied text or source device so old addresses, links, notes, code snippets, and messages are easy to find. BUILT FOR MAC Clipy can automatically capture copied text on Mac and keeps recent clips close at hand from the menu bar, so you can search, copy, and send without breaking your flow. BUILT FOR iPHONE Keep Clipy open while you copy to build your clipboard history. iPhone does not allow apps to continuously read the clipboard in the background, so Clipy works within Apple’s privacy model instead of trying to work around it. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Clipy is designed around local storage and direct nearby sharing rather than a cloud clipboard account. Copy something useful. Find it later. Send it where you need it.

About

Echo

Talk in Arabic, English, or both. Echo hands back what matters. Echo listens to your meetings, calls and lectures, remembers every word, and gives you the summary, the decisions and the to-dos. So you can stay in the conversation, not in your notes. HOW IT WORKS 1. Tap to start at the top of a meeting, a lecture or a quick thought. 2. Put your phone down and join the conversation. 3. When you stop, Echo hands back a short summary of what was said and decided, to-dos pulled from the conversation, and the full transcript with timestamps, so you can jump to any moment. BUILT FOR ARABIC AND ENGLISH Speak Arabic, English, or both in the same sentence. Echo understands Gulf, Levantine, Egyptian and Maghrebi dialects as well as Modern Standard Arabic, and the whole app works in Arabic and English. ASK ECHO Ask anything about a conversation, like "What did we decide about pricing?", and get answers drawn from what was actually said. FOR YOUR WORK AND YOUR STUDIES Client meetings, team check-ins, interviews, lectures, study groups. Choose a template (meeting minutes, client meeting, lecture notes, interview and more) and keep clients, classes and projects apart in folders.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Clipy at none against Echo's 3. Clipy also leads on ads (none vs shown). Echo's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, rating, ratings volume and device support there is nothing between them.
