# Clipboard AI

> Clipboard AI is the intelligent clipboard manager for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. It auto-captures what you copy, organises it with on-device AI into smart categories (links, codes, addresses, emails, and more), and lets you paste any saved clip from a custom keyboard. On-device OCR copies the text out of screenshots and images, and Mac users get batch and sequential paste. Optional iCloud sync keeps your clipboard in step across your devices, up to 10x faster than a plain iCloud clipboard, through your own private iCloud and never Clipboard AI's servers.
