On iPhone, every clip is one tap away.

Pastilo keeps only what you hand it. iOS does not let apps read the clipboard in the background, so you save entries from the Share sheet or with the Paste button.

  • Find it by search or tagSearch the whole history, filter by type, pin what you reuse and narrow it down with your own tags.
  • Copy with one tapEvery card has a copy button, and a full swipe to the right copies too. Formatting stays intact.
  • Recognize links at a glanceLink previews show the website image, and Open link takes you straight to the page.
