Light Clipboard — press kit
Everything needed to write about the app. Quote freely; the images may be used in any coverage.
In one sentence
Light Clipboard is a snippet keyboard for iPhone and iPad: save the text you retype all day, then tap it into any app, from a keyboard that never asks for Full Access.
In one paragraph
Your email address, a phone number, the reply you send twenty times a week, an address, a block of hashtags: save each one once in the app, and the Light Clipboard keyboard types it into whatever you are writing with one tap, without copying and without switching apps. The keyboard runs in the restricted sandbox iOS gives a keyboard by default, so it has no network access, cannot see what you type, and keeps nothing but the snippets you saved. Snippets can also be copied or created from the Shortcuts app and Siri. The app is translated into 30 languages, is free for three snippets, and lifts the limit with a subscription, a one-off lifetime unlock, or small slot packs.

| Background reading | What an iOS keyboard can't do without Full Access |
Why it is different
- Most keyboards with cloud features ask for Full Access, with the system warning about everything you type. Light Clipboard has no such switch at all; the restriction is enforced by iOS, not by a promise.
- It inserts text through the keyboard, so whatever is already on the clipboard stays there.
- It is not a clipboard-history manager: it keeps the snippets you choose, nothing else.
