Your iPhone keeps one copy. Copy again and the last one is gone.

Clipboard AI is a clipboard manager for iPhone that keeps the things you copy and puts them in a keyboard you can open in any app. Save a copy with one tap, find it again by searching, and paste it without leaving the app you are typing in. The paste keyboard is free, and with Pro your history follows you to iPad and Mac.

01 · Paste keyboard · Free

Every clip, one tap away in any app.

Press the globe key in Messages, Mail, WhatsApp or anywhere you type, and your clips are right there. Filter by Saved, Address, Email or Codes, tap a clip, and it drops in.

  • Free on every plan. The paste keyboard is not a Pro feature.
  • Codes stay covered. Verification codes and passwords show a padlock until you tap them.
  • Images too. Tap a saved screenshot to copy it, then paste it into a message or note.

02 · History · Save in one tap

Everything you save, sorted on its own.

iOS never lets an app read your clipboard in the background, so saving takes one action: switch to the keyboard and your latest copy is saved as it opens. Or open the app, share to it, or press the Action Button.

  • Action Button, Back Tap or Siri. Run the Save Clip To ClipboardAI shortcut without opening the app.
  • Smart categories. Links, addresses, phone numbers, codes and images sort themselves on your iPhone.
  • Name your clips. Give a clip a custom name and find it by that name.

03 · Text in screenshots · Free

It reads your screenshots.

Save a screenshot of a booking and Clipboard AI pulls out the parts you need: the phone number, the email, the address, the date and the total. Tap a chip to copy it, call it or open it.

  • Read on your iPhone. Apple's Vision framework does the reading on device. No Apple Intelligence needed.
  • Tables come out as tables. Copy Table pastes real cells into Numbers, Sheets or Excel.
  • Searchable. Find a screenshot later by any word inside it.

04 · Ask · Apple Intelligence

Forgot the words? Just ask.

Type “wifi password at the airbnb” and Ask finds the clip and answers in a sentence, built only from things you actually copied. Ask is free on iPhone 15 Pro and newer with Apple Intelligence turned on.

  • Never made up. Every result is a real clip, and a question about something you never copied comes back empty.
  • Searches on your iPhone. A note under each answer says whether Apple's Private Cloud Compute helped write it.
  • Plain words work. “Hotels I copied for the trip” is a search.

05 · Rewrite · Pro

Make it sound just right.

Turn a rushed note into the message you meant to send. Summarize, Key Points, Proofread, Make Professional, Make Friendly and Shorten run on Apple Intelligence, and the result copies in one tap.

  • Your original stays. A rewrite never changes the clip it came from.
  • Nine text tools stay free. Change case, trim spaces, strip HTML and more.
  • Always labeled. Every result says whether it ran on your iPhone or on Apple's Private Cloud Compute.

06 · iPad and Mac · Pro

Copy on your Mac. Paste on your iPhone.

With Pro, your history, saved clips, names and Collections sync through your own private iCloud, up to 10x faster than a plain iCloud clipboard. On the Mac, press Command-Shift-V anywhere to search and paste.

  • Same Wi-Fi? Nearby devices hand clips to each other directly, without waiting on iCloud.
  • More than Universal Clipboard. Apple's passes only your latest copy, briefly. Sync keeps all of it.
  • One purchase. Pro covers iPhone, iPad and Mac.

FAQ

iPhone clipboard questions, answered.

Does iPhone have a built-in clipboard history?+

No. iOS keeps one copied item at a time. iOS 27 added a paste suggestion above Apple's keyboard that previews that item, but there is no list of earlier copies. A clipboard manager like Clipboard AI keeps the history and pastes from it in any app.

Is Clipboard AI free on iPhone?+

Yes. The free plan keeps your last 10 copies and 5 saved clips, and the paste keyboard, search, smart categories and text recognition are free. Pro removes the limits and adds iCloud sync and Collections for $19.99 a year with a 7-day free trial, or $34.99 once for Lifetime.

Can Clipboard AI save everything I copy automatically?+

Not on iPhone, because iOS does not let any app read the clipboard in the background. Clipboard AI saves a copy when you switch to its keyboard, open the app, share to it, or run its shortcut from the Action Button, Back Tap or Siri. On the Mac it records copies automatically.

Why does the keyboard need Allow Full Access?+

Without Full Access, a keyboard can't read what you copy, so the Clipboard AI keyboard couldn't save your copies or paste them. Full Access also makes network access possible. Clipboard AI sends nothing to its own servers.

Does it work on iPad and Mac?+

Yes. The same app runs on iPad, and Clipboard AI for Mac opens with Command-Shift-V. With Pro, your history, saved clips, names and Collections sync across all three through your private iCloud.

Is it safe to keep passwords in a clipboard manager?+

It is better not to copy passwords at all, because AutoFill fills them without touching the clipboard. If a code or password does get saved, the Clipboard AI keyboard shows a padlock instead of its contents until you tap it, and iOS always uses Apple's own keyboard in password fields.

Your iPhone's clipboard, finally with a memory.

Free to start. The paste keyboard is free. One Pro purchase covers iPhone, iPad and Mac.
