Capture on iPhone
iOS doesn't let apps watch your clipboard in the background, so Clypy gives you one motion instead.
Clypy for designers
Every reference, swatch and screenshot, one strip away
Design work runs on copy and paste. Clypy keeps all of it as real previews, so you find the screenshot from Tuesday by looking, not by opening five files called “Screenshot 2026…”.

Visual history
You remember what it looked like, not what it was called
Every image you copy keeps a real thumbnail, every colour shows as a swatch and every link shows its page. So you spot it in a second.

Shoot it on your phone. Drop it on the artboard.
A poster, a texture, a whiteboard after the crit. Capture it with Back Tap or the share sheet, and it's in the strip on your Mac by the time you sit down. Drag it straight into Figma. For the whole shoot, send the files themselves: full size, over your Wi-Fi, straight to Downloads.
Search inside images
The screenshot remembers its own words
Clypy reads the text in every image on your device. Search for a button label, a line of microcopy or the error state you captured last week, and the screenshot comes up.
“empty cart”“the blue from the logo”“wifi”
The Wi-Fi password only exists in a screenshot. Search for it anyway: Clypy reads the text in your images on your own device, and pastes it as text.
Collections
One collection per project, on every device
Drag the approved assets, the handoff link and the final copy into a collection. Give it an icon and a colour, and it follows you to every paired device, phone included.

The small things
Made for the messy middle of a project
⌥Space
Look before you paste
Quick Preview opens any clip full size, so you never paste the older export by mistake.
Drag
Straight onto the artboard
Drag an image or file from the strip into Figma, Slack or an email. No trip through Finder.
P
Pin the palette
Pin the brand colours and the logo so they sit at the front of the strip all project long.
⌘⇧V
Copy without the styling
Paste spec copy as plain text, so it takes the font of the frame instead of the doc's.
Can I find text inside a screenshot?
Yes. Clypy reads the text in your images on your own device, so a search for a label, an error message or a line of copy finds the screenshot it's in. You can paste that text as text, too.
How do photos from my phone get to my Mac?
One at a time, capture them on iPhone with Back Tap, the Action button or the share sheet, or with the share sheet on Android, and they sync to your Mac end-to-end encrypted. For a whole shoot or a long screen recording, Send files moves the originals at full size over your Wi-Fi, straight to Downloads, without adding them to your clip history. Pairing, sync, sending files, and Back Tap and the Action button on iPhone are part of Pro.
Can I drag clips into Figma?
Yes. Drag a clip from the strip or the library straight into another app. Images and files come along as themselves.
What happens when I copy a colour?
Clypy recognises it and shows it as a swatch with its hex code, so a palette you copied last week is easy to spot in the strip.
Is Clypy free?
Unlimited local history, with previews, search and collections, is free with no card. Lifetime Pro is a one-time purchase that adds pairing and encrypted sync across unlimited devices.
