CopySage - Clipboard Inspector
Ever wondered why your paste operations don't work as expected? CopySage reveals exactly what's in your clipboard.
Born from frustration with paste formatting issues, CopySage is a diagnostic tool that provides detailed insights into your device's pasteboard (clipboard) content. What started as a quick debugging solution is now a powerful analyzer that can save you hours of troubleshooting.
THE STORY
I was struggling to paste text with links into email clients and messaging apps with proper formatting. Despite countless attempts, nothing worked—yet other apps pasted similar content perfectly. After building a quick diagnostic tool to inspect what successful apps were putting in the pasteboard, I discovered I was missing a critical type. Ten minutes later, everything pasted beautifully. If this app saves someone else days of aggravation, it will have been worth it.

Text - Content with encoding details
Images - Dimensions and format information
URLs - Web links and deep links
Colors - RGB and HSB values

PERFECT FOR

Understanding how the clipboard works
HOW IT WORKS
Copy any content from any app on your device
Open CopySage
Tap the paste button (you'll be asked to allow clipboard access each time)
Browse the detected pasteboard items
Tap any item for detailed information and preview
The app handles multiple format representations of the same content, as apps often place several versions in the pasteboard for compatibility.
YOUR PRIVACY MATTERS
CopySage only reads your pasteboard when you tap the paste button. It does not store, transmit, or track any clipboard content. All analysis happens locally on your device.
Simple. Local. Essential for anyone working with clipboard data.
