Copy the text of a whole web page with a single tap. No touching and holding to fix the selection. Open it from Safari's extensions and tap one big button. ■ Not just what's on screen Text you have to scroll to reach, text cut off inside its box, and text shortened with "…" — all of it gets copied. ■ It reaches further than you'd expect • Text you have to scroll to see (both the page itself and scrollable boxes) • Text hidden by overflowing its box, and the full text behind a "…" • Lines hidden behind "Read more" • Text already typed into input fields and text areas • Tables (copied tab-separated, so they paste straight into a spreadsheet) • Indentation and whitespace in code blocks • The contents of Web Components, used by many recent sites ■ What it's good for ・Pasting a whole article into an AI chat to summarize it or ask about it ・Keeping the text of your research in a notes app or a document ・Running a foreign-language page through a translation tool in one go ・Pulling a table out and pasting it into a spreadsheet ・Getting the whole text in front of you so you can find the part you want to quote ■ There are no settings Just open it and tap. Nothing to learn, nothing to switch, no options to remember. ■ It collects none of your data • It has no networking code at all. The text it reads never leaves your device • Nothing runs in the background. It reads the page only at the moment you open the extension • It cannot see your browsing history • The text it reads is written to your clipboard and nothing more — never saved, never sent • Password fields and one-time-code fields are excluded ■ What it can't copy (told plainly) • Text drawn inside images, and text drawn on a canvas • The contents of frames embedded from other sites (video players, social posts, maps) • The contents of collapsed sections — open them in Safari first, then copy • Content that is only created once you scroll — scroll through it once, then copy • While "Show password" has a field in plain text, some sites are built in a way that lets it be copied as ordinary text ■ How to use it 1. Open Settings → Apps → Safari → Extensions and turn on "Copy All Text" 2. In Safari, tap "Page Menu" to the left of the URL and choose "Copy All Text" 3. Tap "Copy Whole Page" on the screen that opens Because of how iOS works, opening the screen can't copy on its own. You have to tap once.

Safari on iPhone has no Select All for web pages. On a computer, Command + A takes a second. On iPhone, there is no equivalent. Copying a long article means dragging your finger down the screen and starting over every time the selection slips. Copy All Text adds the Select All that Safari is missing. One tap copies the whole page. COPY WHAT YOU NEED, IN A USEFUL FORMAT - Copy All Text: copies the page text readable in Safari. - Copy Article Only: removes ads, menus, and footers, then copies just the article body. - Tap to Select: tap one or more page regions instead of dragging text handles. - Copy for AI: locally formats content and an instruction for pasting into an AI chat. Nothing is sent. - Clean Copy: removes cookie notices, sharing controls, subscription prompts, and repeated clutter. - Copy as Markdown: keeps headings, links, and lists intact. If you already have text selected, only that selection is copied. GOOD FOR - Saving long articles into a notes app - Moving research into another app in one go - Passing page content to a translation service PRIVACY AND PRICING - Completely free. No ads. No in-app purchases. - No network access at all. Page content never leaves your device. - Nothing is stored or logged. - The extension only runs on the page where you tap the button. HOW TO USE 1. Enable the Safari extension in the Settings app. 2. Open any page in Safari. 3. Tap the extension icon in the address bar and choose a copy mode. Supports VoiceOver and Dynamic Type. Available in Japanese, English, Korean, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, and Spanish. Note: Depending on the structure of a website or its access restrictions, some text may not be retrievable.
