The paste keyboard
for your iPhone.

A paste keyboard is a custom iOS keyboard that shows your saved clipboard items instead of only letters. The Clipboard AI keyboard puts up to 200 recent clips, with names, category badges, and image thumbnails, into every text field on your iPhone. Tap a clip and it is pasted. No app switching, no losing your place.

01 ยท Everywhere you type

Your clipboard history, in every app.

Messages, Mail, Slack, Safari, your banking app - anywhere a keyboard opens, your clips are one tap away. No more bouncing between apps to re-copy an OTP, an address, or the reply you send ten times a day.

Up to 200 recent clips. Scroll or filter by category: links, codes, emails, text, images.
Names show first. Label a clip "Work Wi-Fi" or "Invoice footer" and spot it instantly. How naming works.
Images included. Thumbnails in the keyboard, full-resolution paste in the app.
Utility row built in. Space, backspace, and return, so quick edits never force a keyboard switch.
02 ยท The honest bit

Is Allow Full Access safe?

iOS keeps custom keyboards in a strict sandbox, and Allow Full Access is the switch that lets the Clipboard AI keyboard reach the clips you saved in the app and insert images. Fair question, honest answer: here is exactly what we do with it, and what we never do.

No tracking, no ads, no third-party analytics. Not in the app, not in the keyboard. Ever.
Your clips stay yours. Stored on your device, synced only through your own private iCloud if you turn sync on. Never our servers.
Sensitive data flagged. Passwords and tokens get extra protection before they ever reach the keyboard.
Read the details. Your privacy and your data, in plain language.
