![]() When you swipe left, there are actions for deleting, renaming, pinning to a board, or sharing via the iOS Share Sheet. When you want to copy an item in the clipboard, you can tap on the "copy" button in the bottom left when viewing it, or just swipe to the right from the list. For example, large images show up full size, so you may need to pan the image around to see every last detail. To view a clipping, just tap to select it, and you'll be able to view it in all of its glory. Give it a name, choose a color to label it with, and then "Save." Add new ones by tapping on the "+" button in the top left. Then tap on the "." button in the top right to select "Manage Pinboards." Paste includes a "Useful Links" pinboard by default, but you can delete it (and any other ones) by tapping on the minus button next to it. To add a new one, make sure you're out of the default "Clipboard History" view (just tap on the "X" or swipe down on the screen). These pinboards serve as categories to help you organize your clippings, and you can create as many as needed. ![]() Paste, like Copied, also has support for lists, though they're called Pinboards. Maybe this can be changed in the future, but it's not a big deal since there is text that indicates what the source is. I'm a bit disappointed that the iOS version doesn't have the colorful visual headers to tell you what kind of snippet it is, such as a link from Droplr, Safari, or Tweetbot. At the moment, Paste supports text, images, links, files, and pretty much whatever else you can copy. Anything that I copy to my Mac's clipboard appears on the iOS version of Paste, and vice versa. I have both the Mac version of Paste 2, as well as the iOS version, and they are seamless when iCloud sync is enabled. If you want to use Paste on your iPad, though, you need to unlock that via a $4.99 in-app purchase. ![]() If you're not sure about committing to the Mac version, there's a free trial available from their website. However, it works best as a companion to the Mac version, which is on the Mac App Store for $14.99. Paste is free on iOS, and works fine on its own. So while Paste focuses more on looking good, it still manages to pack in a lot of useful information that other apps don't include. It also provides extra bits of detail, such as image dimensions, what app you copied from, and how long ago. However, because of this, you do get to see less on the screen at once, compared to Copied.īut if you prefer a bit more visual oomph, then Paste is the way to go. Images appear as larger thumbnails to give you a better idea of what it was, in case you forgot. The app itself looks and feels like something that Apple made themselves, and it features plenty of white (unfortunately no dark theme like Copied yet). Paste, on the other hand, emphasizes visuals, especially on the Mac. I've been using Copied for a while now, and while it works as intended, it's not terribly impressive in terms of design. Paste's described as a "visual clipboard manager," and it definitely shows. While I was familiar with Paste on Mac, it didn't win me over since it was Mac only. I've been using Copied to get data on my iPhone and Mac, while also using Alfred's built-in clipboard to keep track of stuff for work. Fortunately, this meant it was possible for other clipboard managers to rise in the ranks, and Copied was one of them. Unfortunately, Tapbots didn't keep it around after a while, as they decided to focus solely on Tweetbot and Calcbot. Back in the day, I remember Pastebot as being the clipboard app to have on iOS. While I'm using my devices, I'm always copying various bits of text or images to send someone, paste into an article I'm working on, or just reference later. I'm constantly on my iPhone, Mac, or iPad mini 4 (to a much lesser extent). It's similar to the also excellent Copied. If you've been looking for a replacement for the defunct Pastebot, then you should consider Paste 2. Paste 2 (Free) by Dmitry Obukhov is a smart clipboard and snippet manager for your iOS device.
