Features

Every feature your clipboard
has been missing.

Sixteen clipboard manager features for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. All powered by on-device AI. All designed to disappear behind your work - until the moment you need them.

01 · Auto-Capture

Watches your clipboard, silently.

The moment you copy anything - text, URL, code, image, address - ClipboardAI saves it. No setup. No "open the app first." It just remembers.

Background-quiet. Captures happen invisibly - no notifications, no banners.
Smart deduplication. Copy the same thing twice and ClipboardAI knows.
Type-aware. Recognizes what you copied - URL vs OTP vs address - and tags it accordingly.
Images too. Screenshots, photos, anything in pasteboard - captured the same way.
Hands-free capture. No "open the app first" needed. Save the clipboard with a Back Tap, the Action Button, or "Hey Siri, save clipboard with ClipboardAI." Set up shortcuts →

02 · Sensitive Detection

Sensitive data gets the white-glove treatment.

ClipboardAI recognizes when you've copied a password, API token, credit card, or SSN - and treats it differently. Blurred until you tap. Masked in the keyboard. Filed into their own filter.

Auto-blur. Sensitive clips are hidden until you tap to reveal.
Auto-delete on your schedule. Clear old clips after 30 days, a year, or never. You set the window.
Masked in the keyboard. Sensitive clips show as dots until you choose to insert them.
Local-first by default. Nothing leaves your device until you switch on iCloud sync.

03 · Smart Categories

Seven categories, auto-filed.

Every clip lands in the right bucket the second you copy it. Links go to Links. Phone numbers to Phone. Addresses to Addresses. No tagging, no folders to drag - and it's all done on-device.

Links, Phones, Places, Codes, Emails, Text, Images. The seven types that make up 95% of what you copy.
Always-on classification. Local ML model. Fires in under 30ms.
Filter to one type. Tap a category to see just those clips.

07 · Collections

Custom folders for the things you keep.

Auto-categories handle the basics. Collections are for the things that mean something to you - a recipe book, a research dump, a planning list, gift ideas for your sister.

Icons, colors, notes. Make every collection feel like its own thing.
Drag to organize. Reorder anything, anywhere - even within the keyboard.
Smart suggestions. ClipboardAI proposes "save to collection?" when patterns emerge.

08 · Custom Names

Name a clip, find it in seconds.

"M9!kQ2pZx7vB" tells you nothing. "Work Wi-Fi password" tells you everything. Give any saved clip or collection item a name and that label shows everywhere - while pasting still drops in the original value, untouched.

The name shows, the content pastes. Your label appears in the app, the keyboard, and search. Paste always inserts the real value, never the name.
Perfect for secrets. A named password or API key shows its friendly label instead of dots - and still pastes the true value when you need it.
Syncs everywhere. Free for everyone. Names travel across iPhone, iPad, and Mac with your clips, on every plan. How naming works →

09 · Smart Actions

It knows what you'll want next.

Copy a phone number - see "Call" and "Message". Copy an address - see "Open in Maps." Copy a URL - see "Open in Safari" or "Add to Reading List." Context-aware. Always one tap.

Right action, right time. Actions are filtered by what you actually copied.
Customizable. Choose your default for each type. Routes to Google Maps if you prefer.
Works with Shortcuts. Pipe any clip into an iOS Shortcut.

📞 Call number tap
💬 Send a message long-press
👤 Add to Contacts
📷 Open in FaceTime

10 · Link Previews

Link previews that actually look like something.

No more rows of cryptic links. Every URL is enriched with its Open Graph title, image, and source - so your link history reads like a feed instead of a junk drawer.

Auto-fetched in the background. Cached locally, refreshed periodically.
Reader-mode summary. Pro tier: get a TL;DR of the page itself, not just the URL.
Smart grouping. Links from the same site cluster together optionally.
11 · Language Detection

Copy in any language, read in yours.

ClipboardAI detects the language of any text you copy and offers a translation instantly - handy for recipes, articles, error messages in code, or that menu you photographed in Lisbon.

40+ languages detected. Including non-Latin scripts: 日本語, 한국어, العربية, ภาษาไทย.
Two-tap translate. Uses Apple's on-device translation engine. No data leaves the phone.
Side-by-side view. Original and translation, kept together in the clip detail.

12 · Keyboard Extension

A paste keyboard, in every app.

The keyboard puts up to 200 clips inside any text field on iOS. Messages, Mail, Slack, that obscure form in Safari - your clipboard is always one tap away.

Up to 200 clips. Your recents, pins, and saved clips. Filter by category from inside the keyboard.
Image support. Insert screenshots and photos right from the keyboard. Deep dive: the paste keyboard →
Private by design. The keyboard reads your clips on-device only. No servers, no data collection, ever. Nothing you copy ever leaves your phone.
Sensitive clips masked. Passwords, tokens, and SSNs show as dots - revealed only when you insert them.
13 · Batch & Sequential Paste

Sequential and batch paste, on Mac.

Filling a form, a spreadsheet, a template? Line up your clips once and let ClipboardAI feed them in - all at once, or one ⌘V at a time. A Mac exclusive, free for everyone.

Paste All. Send an entire collection or selection into the app you were just in, one after another, in the exact order you picked.
Paste One by One. Arm the queue and every ⌘V drops in the next clip - perfect for filling fields straight down a form. A HUD keeps count as you go.
Copy as One. Merge several clips into a single block you can paste anywhere. Deep dive: sequential & batch paste →

15 · Image to Text

Copy text from any screenshot.

On-device OCR reads the words inside screenshots, receipts, and photos. Copy all the text, or select just the part you need, and search your images later by the words they contain.

Whole image or a fragment. Grab every word, or select only the line you need - an address, a code, one price on a receipt.
Search inside images. Screenshots become findable by the text in them, right from universal search.
Runs on your device. Text recognition happens locally, like every other AI feature. Deep dive: copy text from images →

16 · iCloud Sync

Clipboard sync, up to 10x faster.

Flip on sync and your clips follow you across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. ClipboardAI layers its own transport on top of Apple's CloudKit and picks the quickest path in real time - so a copy on your phone is often waiting on your Mac before you switch windows. Optional, and local-first is always the default.

Up to 10x faster. In our testing, clips land up to 10x quicker than a plain iCloud clipboard. ClipboardAI chooses the fastest available route automatically, every time.
iPhone, iPad, Mac. Same clips, same collections, same custom names - everywhere, kept in sync.
Direct over Wi-Fi. Devices on the same network hand clips straight to each other - no cloud round-trip, so it feels instant.
Private by design. Sync runs through your own private iCloud. Nothing you copy ever passes through ClipboardAI's servers. Meet the Mac app →

FAQ

Clipboard manager questions, answered.

Can I name my clips in ClipboardAI?+

Yes. Give any saved clip or collection item a custom name like "Work Wi-Fi password" or "Stripe API key." The name shows everywhere - in the app, the keyboard, and search - while pasting still inserts the original content, never the label. Names sync across iPhone, iPad, and Mac, and naming clips is free on every plan.

What makes ClipboardAI's sync faster than other clipboard apps?+

ClipboardAI layers its own sync on top of Apple's CloudKit and automatically picks the quickest available path in real time. In our testing that delivers clips up to 10x faster than a plain iCloud clipboard, so a copy on your iPhone is often waiting on your Mac before you have switched windows.

Can I paste multiple clips at once on Mac?+

Yes. On Mac, Paste All pastes an entire collection or selection one after another, Paste One by One queues clips so each ⌘V inserts the next, and Copy as One merges several clips into a single block. All three are a Mac exclusive and free for everyone.

Is my clipboard data private?+

Yes. Every AI feature runs on-device, clips are stored locally by default, and sync uses your own private iCloud. Nothing you copy is ever sent to ClipboardAI's servers, and there is no tracking or data collection.

How much does ClipboardAI cost?+

ClipboardAI is free to start with a 10-clip history, custom clip names, auto-capture, and sensitive detection. Pro is $19.99 per year or $34.99 once for Lifetime, and unlocks unlimited history, collections, the AI features, the keyboard, and iCloud sync.

Which devices does ClipboardAI work on?+

iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Your clips, collections, and custom names sync across all of them with iCloud, and batch and sequential paste are available on Mac.

Does ClipboardAI capture images and screenshots?+

Yes. Screenshots, photos, and anything on the pasteboard are captured the same way as text. They are searchable, they sync across your devices, and you can insert them straight from the keyboard.

Can ClipboardAI copy text out of an image or screenshot?+

Yes. On-device OCR reads the words inside screenshots, receipts, and photos, so you can copy all the text or select just the part you need. Recognized text is also searchable, which means you can find a screenshot later by the words it contains.
