Clippers - The Infinite Clipboard on iOS Devices
Clippers allows you to have infinite items saved to your clipboard!
By leveraging iOS shortcuts and a custom reminder list, we can save as many text items as we want to a list the we can retrieve at any time!
I created this shortcut from a frustration with losing clipboard items frequently. I didn't want another application to help power this and wanted something fast and reliable. This shortcut is the result of this work.
Setting up Clippers is super quick and easy! Here are some graphics that explain it all:
SETUP:
USING THE SHORTCUT:
USING THE SHORTCUT (PART 2):
Steps:
- Create a custom reminders list named Other - you can change this in the shortcut settings if you desire
- Run the shortcut (after you download it and save it to your shortcuts app of course!)
- Save your clipboard to the shortcut
From there you can run the shortcut and save any of your saved items to your clipboard by selecting them. You can also edit the list and choose which ones you want to remove. As we are leveraging a reminders list to effectively store these clipboard items, there is a confirmation when deleting items to remove them from the list.
🚨BONUS TIP:
This shortcut works amazing when set as the double back tap on iPhones. Not sure what that is??? Well here's how you can set that up:
- Go to Settings > Accessibility > Touch, and tap Back Tap
- Tap Double Tap or Triple Tap and choose the Clippers shortcut
- Double or triple tap on the back of your iPhone to activate the shortcut from any application!
