Key features

A clipboard with a memory

iOS forgets what you copied a minute ago. Copy History remembers it for you — privately.

📋
Auto-capture
While the app is open, every copy is saved to your history automatically — no extra taps, no thinking about it.
📌
Pin what matters
Pin the entries you reach for often so they stay at the top and are never pushed out by newer copies.
🧠
Smart detection
Recognises emails, phone numbers, addresses and links, and offers the right quick action for each.
💾
Saved snippets
Turn any entry into a labelled snippet you can reuse forever — signatures, replies, addresses, boilerplate.
🔍
Instant search
Filter your whole history in a tap to find that thing you copied an hour ago without scrolling.
🔒
Private by design
Everything you copy stays in the app's sandbox on your device. No account, no cloud sync, and nothing you copy is ever uploaded.

How can we help?

Copy History is intentionally simple — open it, and it keeps everything you copy. Below are answers to the questions people ask most. If yours isn't here, email us and we'll get back to you within a couple of business days.

Why does iOS show a "pasted from" banner?
iOS shows that banner whenever any app reads the clipboard — it's a built-in iOS privacy feature, and Copy History can't disable it. You can stop the banners by going to Settings → Apps → Copy History → Paste from Other Apps → Allow.
Why aren't copies captured when the app is closed?
iOS does not allow apps to read the clipboard in the background. Copy History only captures while it's in the foreground — bring the app to the front when you want to save something new.
Where is my history stored?
Your clipboard history and snippets live on your device only, in the app's sandboxed local storage. They are never sent to a server, never synced to iCloud, and never shared with anyone. The only things Copy History sends are an anonymous crash report when the app crashes and a count of how the unlock screen is used — the privacy policy spells both out.
What's the difference between History and Saved?
History is auto-captured and capped at the 500 most recent entries (oldest unpinned ones are evicted). Saved snippets are entries you create manually with a label — they live forever until you delete them.
How do I delete everything?
Tap Clear in the top-right of the list to wipe your history, or uninstall the app to remove all stored data permanently.
Why did an old entry suddenly disappear?
Once you reach the 500-entry cap, new copies push the oldest unpinned ones off the list. Pin an entry to keep it forever, or save it as a snippet for the strongest guarantee.

Privacy Policy

Your privacy, simply explained

Last updated: August 25, 2026. This policy applies to the Copy History iOS application published by Mark Utility Labs.

🔒

Short version: Nothing you copy ever leaves your phone — no account, no cloud sync, and we never see your clipboard. What does leave the app is anonymous and technical: a crash report when the app crashes, and a count of how the unlock screen is used. No ads, no advertising identifiers, no tracking you across other apps or websites, and no sale of your data, ever.

1. What data the app handles

The app only touches data you create or capture inside it:

2. How that data is stored

Everything lives in the app's sandboxed local storage on your device (React Native AsyncStorage). The 500 most recent history entries are retained; pinned entries and saved snippets are never auto-evicted. Deleting items inside the app removes them permanently, and uninstalling the app removes all stored data.

3. Crash reports (Firebase Crashlytics)

Copy History uses Firebase Crashlytics, a service run by Google, to report crashes automatically so bugs get found and fixed. When the app crashes, a report goes to Google containing the device model, the iOS and app version, the technical details of the crash, and a random identifier Firebase generates for your installation of the app. That identifier is not your name, your email, or your Apple ID; delete and reinstall the app and it changes. A crash report never contains your clipboard history, your snippets, or anything else you copied.

4. Anonymous usage counts (Firebase Analytics)

When Copy History shows its unlock screen, it counts a short list of events through Firebase Analytics, also from Google: that the screen was shown (and which of its two asks it was), that the free week offered there was taken, which layout was shown, and that an unlock completed. It also counts that the one-time offer sheet (the one that shows the other apps) was shown and what was tapped on it, and that the app asked whether you were enjoying it, with which of the two buttons you chose. These events carry no personal content — nothing you copied, no name, no contact details. Copy History never attaches your identity to them; Firebase records them against the same kind of per-install identifier described above. They exist so we can tell whether the unlock screen works, and for nothing else.

5. Unlocking Copy History

Apple handles the transaction itself. Mark Utility Labs never sees or stores your card details, billing address, or Apple ID password.

Your unlock is kept on your device, in the iOS Keychain. If you unlock the whole collection of Mark Utility Labs apps at once, that record is also kept in your own iCloud, using Apple's CloudKit, so it follows your Apple Account to a new device. It is stored in your private iCloud database, not somewhere we can browse. Copy History does not ask you to sign in to anything, and nothing about your purchase is sent to Google.

6. What is NOT collected

It's worth being explicit about the absences:

7. Who processes your data

Google (Firebase) receives crash reports and the anonymous usage counts. Apple handles the transaction, and keeps the all-apps unlock record in your own private iCloud database. There are no other recipients.

8. The iOS "pasted from" banner

Because Copy History reads the clipboard to save your copies, iOS may show a "pasted from" banner. This is an iOS privacy notice, not data leaving your device. You can allow paste silently under Settings → Apps → Copy History → Paste from Other Apps.

9. Children's privacy

Copy History is a general-purpose utility and is not directed at children under 13. It does not knowingly collect personal information from children, and it never asks anyone, of any age, for a name, an email address, or any other identifying detail.

10. Changes to this policy

If material changes are made, the "Last updated" date above will change. Continued use of the app after an update constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

Copy History is published by Mark Utility Labs for your personal use. It needs no account and no sign-up, it shows no advertisements, and your clipboard history stays on your device.

Some features are unlocked by an in-app purchase. Any purchase is a one-time, non-consumable unlock — there is no subscription, nothing renews, and you are not charged again for what you have already unlocked. Purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store rather than by Mark Utility Labs, and refunds are handled by Apple under its standard App Store refund process at reportaproblem.apple.com.

3. Use your own judgment

Copy History is provided as a convenience tool. Software can contain mistakes, so for anything critical please confirm against an authoritative source. Mark Utility Labs is not liable for losses arising from use of the app.

4. No warranty

The app is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose.

5. Acceptable use

Please don't reverse engineer, resell, or pass the app off as your own. That's the whole list.

6. Changes to these terms

If these terms change, we'll update the "Last updated" date above. Continued use after a change means you accept the updated terms.

More stuff I made

No company, no investors, no exit plan — just a retired dev, AI, and the growing conviction that this stuff should already cost almost nothing. I'm releasing a new app every week when the waves are bad and I'm not surfing.
