What it does

Use it like any keyboard. When you need something you copied earlier, it's one tap away.

A full keyboard

  • Letters, numbers and symbols
  • Automatic capitals, and a double-tap on space adds a period and a space
  • The return key shows Send, Search, Go and so on, to match the app you're typing in
  • Key clicks, optional light haptics, and the globe key to switch keyboards

Clipboard history

  • Tap the clipboard button at the top left of the keyboard to see what you copied
  • Tap a clip to type it
  • After you copy something new, a "Paste copied text" button appears. Tap it to save and type it
  • Long-press a clip to pin, unpin or delete it

You decide how long clips stay

  • Remove unpinned clips after 1 hour, 1 day, 7 days, or never
  • Clear unpinned clips from the keyboard with the trash button
  • Turn history off completely
  • Passwords copied from password managers that mark them as private are never saved

Big emoji stickers

  • 96 stickers in 6 packs: Faces, Love, Hands, Animals, Party and Food
  • In the keyboard, tap a sticker, then paste it as a large image with a transparent background
  • In Messages, send them as real stickers, or drag one onto a message

Stickers from your photos

  • Pick a photo and the app cuts out the person, pet or object
  • Add a white border if you like
  • The cut-out is made on your iPhone. The photo is not uploaded anywhere

The companion app

  • Step-by-step setup
  • See, copy, pin and delete your clips
  • Add text with the Paste button, or add images from Photos
  • Settings for history and auto-remove

Private by design

There is no account and no server. The app does not send anything you type or copy anywhere.

Stays on your iPhone

Your clips, pinned items and stickers are stored on your iPhone, in storage that only this app, its keyboard and its Messages stickers can open.

Keystrokes are not recorded

What you type is passed to the app you're typing in, and that's all. It is never stored or sent anywhere.

No ads, no tracking

No analytics, no advertising and no third-party code. Read the privacy policy.

Good to know

A few things iOS decides for every third-party keyboard.

Allow Full Access

iOS only lets a keyboard read the clipboard, show images and use haptics if you turn on Allow Full Access. Typing works without it.

Images and stickers are pasted

iOS lets keyboards type text only. To send an image clip or sticker from the keyboard, tap it, then long-press the text box and tap Paste. In Messages, the app's sticker drawer sends stickers directly.

Copy, then open the keyboard

A keyboard only runs while it's on screen. If you copy several things without opening it in between, only the last one is saved. The app's Paste button adds text directly.

Password fields use Apple's keyboard

Password fields and some banking apps always switch to Apple's keyboard. That's an iOS rule for every third-party keyboard.
