Back to your flow in three keys.
On Mac, Copywise works quietly in the background. Your history is a shortcut away.
⌘C
Copy
Keep using the shortcut you already know. Copywise remembers what you copy.
⌥C
Find
Bring up your history, close to where you are typing. Search or choose a recent item.
↩
Use it again
Paste the selected item and carry on with the thought you were having.
A word is all you need to remember.
Find your way back to a useful thought, a reference, or that thing you copied yesterday.
Find it your way
Search by a few words. Narrow the results by content type, source, or date.
Even the words in images
Search text inside images, then select and copy what you need. Text recognition happens on your device.
Keep a little library of your best bits.
Useful replies. Project references. Words you return to. Give the things you reuse a place of their own.
A collection for every context
Bring project links, writing references, or everyday replies together in named Collections.
Some things are worth keeping
Star an item to keep it beyond your automatic history cleanup.
Ready for the next use
Clean up whitespace or change text case before copying. Pro also lets you rename items and edit saved text.
One place for all the little things.
From a single line to a visual reference, every kind of content gets room to be recognized.
Text
A useful sentence, a code snippet, a reply worth keeping.
Links
Recognizable previews for pages you want to revisit.
Images
Browse a visual grid and take a closer look.
Files
Find and preview copied files on their source device.
At your desk. And along for the day.
Save a thought on iPhone. Pick it up on Mac. Optional private iCloud sync brings text, links, and images across your devices with Pro.
Mac
Automatic clipboard history, a familiar shortcut, and a panel that stays close to your work.
iPhone and iPad

Sync when you choose
Optional Pro sync uses your private iCloud. It stays off until you turn it on.
Original files stay local
Files and folders never upload. A visual preview can sync, encrypted, only with your permission.
Your history, your rules
Pause recording, exclude apps, or clear your history. These controls are included in Free.
Start with Free. Keep more with Pro.
Find and reuse your recent history for free. Choose Pro for longer memory, private sync, and more room to organize.

Actual App Store pricing may vary by country or region. The annual trial renews automatically unless canceled through your Apple Account before it ends.
A few things you might be wondering.
Does it work the same way on iPhone and Mac?
Mac records clipboard changes in the background. On iPhone and iPad, save explicitly through the app, share sheet, Quick Save, or Shortcuts. Optional capture while Copywise is open does not record clipboard changes made while it is in the background.
Why does Mac ask for Accessibility access?
It lets Copywise position near the text cursor and perform a paste you request. Copywise does not record what you type. Without permission, history still works: the panel opens in the center and you can copy an item, then paste it manually. Some apps do not expose a cursor position, so the panel opens in the center there too.
Do I need to use iCloud?
No. Your history is stored locally and iCloud sync is off by default. Private sync is an optional Pro feature for supported content across devices using the same Apple Account.
Will my files be uploaded?
No original files or folders are uploaded. They stay on the source device. With your permission, an encrypted visual preview can sync through your private iCloud so you can recognize a file elsewhere.
Can I buy Pro once?
Yes. Monthly, annual, and lifetime purchases unlock the same current Pro features. Lifetime is a one-time purchase. Eligible annual subscribers receive a 14-day trial; the App Store shows your local price and trial eligibility before purchase.
What happens when Pro ends?
New iCloud syncing stops, but existing local and iCloud data remain. Copywise provides a grace period and asks you to confirm the downgrade before Free retention rules resume.
Keep the good bits within reach.
A little less searching. A little more room for the work you love.
