What is Cliply — Clipboard Manager?
Cliply is a clipboard manager for iOS that keeps a searchable history of everything you copy. Instead of losing text, links, or images after you copy something new, Cliply stores them so you can retrieve old clipboard entries whenever you need them. This is particularly useful if you frequently copy and paste between apps, work with multiple pieces of text simultaneously, or need to reference something you copied earlier in the day. The app works quietly in the background, capturing clipboard activity without requiring manual input, and presents your history in a simple, searchable interface.
