New — Shared categories

Your clipboard, everywhere.

SnipTray remembers everything you copy on Mac and iPhone, keeps it end-to-end encrypted, and makes it reappear on the other device in a heartbeat. Categories, snippets and transforms built in.

  • End-to-end encrypted
  • Mac + iPhone
  • Free 3-day trial

Instant sync

Copy here. Paste there.

A clip copied on your Mac shows up on your iPhone the moment your screen unlocks. No buttons, no airdropping, no waiting.

End-to-end encrypted via CloudKit. Apple sees ciphertext only.

Features

Small app. Serious reach.

Everything you need to take control of copy-paste across your Apple devices.

Cross-device sync

Copy on Mac. Paste on iPhone. And the other way around. Instantly.

End-to-end encrypted

Your clips are encrypted on your device before they leave it. Even Apple can't read them.

Password-manager aware

1Password, Bitwarden, Keychain — clips from password apps never leave your Mac.

Categories with colors

Sort clips into colored buckets. Find them with a hotkey.

Snippets

Reusable text blocks. Email signatures, shipping addresses, code stubs.

Text transforms

Lower-case, title-case, JSON-pretty, base64. One keystroke.

NEW

Share a category. Work together.

Invite a teammate, a client, or your partner into a category. Anything either of you copies lands in both of your trays in seconds. Drop a link, hand off a file, swap a snippet — without ever leaving the keyboard.

Shared clips are end-to-end encrypted, just like your personal ones. Only members of the category hold the keys.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Does SnipTray work without iCloud?

Yes. SnipTray works as a local clipboard manager on a single Mac with no account required. iCloud is only needed if you want clips to move between your Mac and your iPhone — you can turn sync off in settings at any time.

What can sync between devices?

Plain text, rich text, images, files, links and snippets all sync. Each clip is encrypted locally before it's uploaded, so only your signed-in devices can decrypt it — Apple stores the ciphertext and nothing more.

How is this different from Apple's Universal Clipboard?

Universal Clipboard only holds the single latest item and clears itself after a couple of minutes. SnipTray keeps your full history, works across any number of your Apple devices, supports rich content, and adds categories, snippets and one-keystroke text transforms on top.

Does it work with password managers?

Yes — and it knows to stay out of their way. SnipTray detects 1Password, Bitwarden, Apple Keychain and similar apps, and anything you copy from them is filtered out of your history and never synced.

Is there a free version?

Every new install gets a 3-day free trial with all features unlocked. After that you can pick Monthly, Yearly or Lifetime — or keep using the app in a trimmed local-only mode.

How do I cancel my subscription?

Subscriptions are billed through the Mac App Store. Open System Settings → Apple ID → Media & Purchases → Subscriptions, pick SnipTray and hit Cancel. Your data stays on your Mac — you just lose sync and the Pro features.
