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.
