About Clypy: Clipboard Manager
Clypy remembers everything you copy and makes it available on every device you own privately. Copy a link on your Mac and paste it on your iPhone. Copy an address on your phone and paste it on your PC. Everything is encrypted on your device before it syncs, and Clypy holds no key that can read it. WHAT YOU GET • Searchable clipboard history — every clip you save is kept on device, unlimited, with no clip cap and no account. History older than 90 days clears itself by default, and you choose the retention period. • Search by meaning — find "that wifi password from the rental" without remembering the exact words. Semantic search runs on your device. • Text from screenshots — Clypy reads text inside images you save, so screenshots become searchable and pasteable. Runs on-device. • Typed clips — links, text, codes, images, files, and secrets are detected, colour-coded, and previewed, so you scan your history instead of reading it. • Detected secrets stay concealed — passwords, keys, and tokens are hidden behind Face ID or Touch ID and can be set to expire early. • Collections — group clips by project, client, or trip. • Templates and snippets — reusable text with fill-in fields for the replies, addresses, and blocks you type constantly. • Paste stack — queue several clips and paste them one after another in order. • Transforms — clean up a clip before you paste it: change case, strip formatting, convert a colour, tidy a URL. ON IPHONE AND IPAD, SPECIFICALLY • Clypy keyboard — pick a clip and insert it directly into any app, without leaving what you're doing. • Share extension — send text, links, or images from any app into your history. • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets — your latest clips, one tap away. • Shortcuts and App Intents — save, search, and paste clips from your own automations. • Built for iPad — split screen, rotation, hardware keyboard, and Dynamic Type at the largest sizes. HOW SAVING WORKS ON A PHONE iOS does not allow apps to watch the clipboard in the background, and Clypy does not try to. Clips are saved while the app is in the foreground, through the Clypy keyboard, or from the share sheet. Nothing is read invisibly. PRIVACY, PLAINLY • No Clypy account, no profile, no password. • Clips, search indexes, and encryption keys stay on your devices. • Sync is end-to-end encrypted. Devices talk directly over your own network when they can reach each other; otherwise an encrypted relay forwards ciphertext between online devices and keeps no backlog. • All intelligence — semantic search, text recognition, classification, secret detection — runs on your hardware. Your clips are never used to train AI models. • Optional encrypted iCloud backups, restored only when you ask. • Usage analytics are off unless you turn them on, and never include clip content. FREE AND PRO Free gives you unlimited local history on one device, collections, templates, semantic search, and on-device text recognition — no card, no account. Pro is a one-time license key that unlocks device pairing, encrypted sync over your local network and over the relay, the Clypy keyboard, and widgets. Enter your key on any device you own; there is no device limit. THE ONE THING TO KNOW Because Clypy cannot read your clips, Clypy cannot recover them for you. If every paired device and every recovery key is lost, that history is gone. Keep one healthy paired device or a backup with its recovery key. Clypy also runs on all major platforms.
What’s new
Version 0.5.1 · Updated October 20, 2026
A fix for removing and pairing devices. • Removing a device works again after you've removed and paired devices many times. It failed with "Key rotation failed", and joining a device afterwards failed too. If this happened to you, update and try again. • When a device can't finish joining, the device showing the code now says so and doesn't list it, instead of saying it paired. Thanks for the reports and support logs that tracked this down.
