Zero servers.
Zero tracking.
Zero exceptions.

Your clipboard holds passwords, card numbers, and secrets. One Big Clipboard never sees any of it — everything stays on your device and, if you opt in, in your own private iCloud. There is no One Big Clipboard server. There is no telemetry. There are no third-party SDKs. We have nothing to sell because we never receive your data.

On-device OCR

inside screenshots.

Every image clip is read on-device by Apple's Vision framework the moment it arrives. The words inside your screenshots become searchable — no upload, no wait, no privacy trade-off.

Your clipboard, your structure.

One Big Clipboard goes as deep as you need. Simple scroll-and-paste, or full Smart Rules, folders, and linked clip sets — you pick the depth.

Snippets

Hand-written reusable clips — signatures, boilerplate, code templates — that are exempt from history pruning and always within reach.

Folders & Tags

Sort clips into folders, apply tags, and pin the ones you reach for constantly. Filter by app source to find the clip from the right context.

Smart Rules

Define conditions — source app, content type, keywords — and One Big Clipboard automatically tags, files, or skips clips the moment they arrive.

Linked Clips

Relate clips captured at different times into a named set. The link name is searchable, so you can surface a whole project's copies at once.

Text Transforms

Change case, trim whitespace, pretty-print JSON, encode/decode URLs. Chain transforms into saved pipelines and apply them in one tap.

Clip Notes

Attach a free-text note to any clip so you remember why you kept it — great for copying things you'll need context for later.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Is my clipboard data sent to your servers?

No. One Big Clipboard has no servers. Everything you copy is stored locally on your device. If you turn on iCloud sync (a Premium feature), your clips are mirrored through Apple's CloudKit private database — which belongs to your iCloud account, not us. The developer cannot read your clips under any circumstances.

How does iCloud sync work?

One Big Clipboard uses CloudKit's private database, which Apple assigns to your personal iCloud account. Only your devices can read it — Apple encrypts it in transit and at rest, and the developer has no access. It is not the same as a shared or public CloudKit database.

Does the keyboard extension have network access?

No. The One Big Clipboard keyboard does not request Open Access. It reads only from the local App Group shared between the keyboard and the main app. No network permission, no data leaving the device.

Does it work on Mac?

Yes. One Big Clipboard for Mac is distributed separately via Developer ID signing — not through the Mac App Store — because full clipboard monitoring and synthetic paste require running without the App Store sandbox. On Mac, One Big Clipboard captures the clipboard automatically in the background and surfaces clips through a notch shelf and a Command-K palette. It shares the same iCloud sync as the iPhone and iPad apps through Universal Purchase.

What does One Big Clipboard Premium unlock?

Premium is a one-time purchase (no subscription, no auto-renewal) that unlocks unlimited clipboard history and private iCloud sync across your iPhone, iPad, and Mac. The free tier keeps every clip at hand for 30 days on a single device with full search, OCR, snippets, widgets, and the keyboard extension already included.

Can I encrypt sensitive clips?

Yes. Tap any clip and choose "Encrypt" to lock it with AES-256-GCM behind Face ID or Touch ID. The key lives in your device's Keychain and never leaves the device. An encrypted clip is stored as ciphertext only — it drops out of search results and is blurred in the list until you authenticate. Even the developer could not read an encrypted clip.

What is One Big Clipboard and who is it for?

One Big Clipboard keeps a private, searchable history of the text, links, images, files and colors you copy. It is for anyone who wants what they copied an hour ago one tap away. Install it and copy something, and it is already working.
