Octoclip: Universal Clipboard
Sync clipboard across devices
Free · In-App Purchases
Ever copy a link on your phone just to email it to yourself so you can open it on your laptop? Or lose something the moment you copy the next thing? Octoclip fixes that.
Octoclip is a universal clipboard: whatever you copy on one device is ready to paste on another — and nothing you copy is ever lost.
NEVER LOSE A COPY
Every clip is saved to a searchable Clip History and synced across your devices. That address, code snippet, or link from yesterday is still right there — text, images, links, files, and code.
FIND IT IN A SECOND
Searching shouldn't mean remembering exact characters. Type Pinyin or Romaji to find Chinese or Japanese clips ("beijing" → 北京), match by your own aliases, or filter by type — text, image, code, or link — in one tap. Code clips get syntax-highlighted previews.
PASTE ANYWHERE — NO COPY GYMNASTICS
Pull your clip history into any text field with the Octoclip Keyboard and paste while you type. Set an alias and frequent text expands itself ("email" → your address). No app-switching.
SYNC YOUR WAY
• Nearby Sync — devices on the same network, over Bonjour. No account required.
• Cloud Sync — across networks, through your own WebDAV / S3 storage.
YOUR CLIPBOARD STAYS YOURS
Local-first — your clips live on your devices. Cloud Sync uses storage you own, and content is encrypted locally before it leaves your device. Your clipboard holds passwords and personal text; it shouldn't sit on someone else's server.
Octoclip works across your phone, tablet, laptop, and desktop.
more Improved
• Nearby Sync connects and transfers faster, with reworked pre-checks and detection timeouts.
• When you have your own folders and none is selected, built-in groups collapse to icons in the Quick Input keyboard, leaving more room for your folders.
• The activity log now covers instant Cloud Sync activity.
Fixed
• Files with accented characters in their names failing to sync.
