Copy on iPhone, paste on Mac

The code you copy on your phone is on your Mac in a second, so you can finish signing in without squinting at two screens.

Codes that shuttle between your devices

The kind of thing that lands on one screen and is needed on another. Copy it once, paste it on the other device.

Words in {curly braces} are yours to swap. Copy button puts the snippet on your clipboard.

The code is on the wrong screen again

You are signing in on your Mac and the code arrives on your phone. Normally that means glancing back and forth and typing carefully so you beat the timer. Copy the code on your phone instead, and it is on your Mac ready to paste.

The same trick works for confirmation numbers, tracking codes, and anything else that lands on one device but is needed on another.

Keep it tidy

One-time codes are meant to be temporary. Turn on auto-delete or clear your history so they do not stick around.

Common questions

Is it safe to keep codes in Clipboard AI?

Your history stays on your device and, if you turn on sync, is encrypted in transit. Still, one-time codes expire fast, and you can auto-delete or clear your history whenever you want.

Will old codes clutter my history?

You can set clips to auto-delete after a while, and codes are easy to clear. Save the formats you reuse and let the throwaway codes age out.

Does the code reach my Mac automatically?

With iCloud sync on, a code you copy on your iPhone appears in your Mac history within seconds, ready to paste with Command Shift V before it expires.
