Cliptop for iOS is out now! You can now sync your clipboard between Mac, iPhone, and iPad

by•

Hey PH đź‘‹

I just shipped Cliptop for iOS, which means Cliptop is no longer just a Mac clipboard manager.

The idea is simple: the useful things you copy, save, and reuse should be available across your Apple devices, not trapped on one screen.

On Mac, Cliptop still works as a keyboard-first clipboard history that sits under the notch and menu bar. You can open it with a shortcut, search instantly, preview what you copied, and paste it back without breaking your flow.

With the iOS app, I wanted Cliptop to be useful on its own too, not just a remote viewer for your Mac clips.

You can now:

  • Sync saved clips across Mac, iPhone, and iPad using private iCloud sync

  • Save links, text, images, colors, snippets, and files from your phone

  • Organize important items into Pinboards

  • Search your synced clipboard history across devices

  • Use the iOS paste keyboard to quickly insert saved snippets into other apps

  • Run OCR on images so screenshots and image clips are searchable

  • Preview and edit images before reusing them

  • Use quick paste actions like plain-text paste and link cleanup

I’m especially excited about the “shared clipboard history” side of this. It is not meant to replace Apple’s Universal Clipboard. It is more like a searchable, organized memory for the useful things you copy and save throughout the day.

Would love to hear what you think, especially if you work across Mac and iPhone/iPad a lot.


What would make cross-device clipboard history genuinely useful for your workflow?

I'm defienetly giving this a try. Clipboard sync across all my Apple devices is something I use every day, so this sounds really useful. Does it also support rich text and images?

The searchable history sounds far more practical. Have you tasted how well OCR performs with handwritten notes because that would add even more value for students and researchers.
