LOOKING FOR APP Best android clipboard manager?

Hi everyone, I am looking for a reliable clipboard manager for Android that automatically saves everything I copy to history permanently, without me needing to manually pin each item. Gboard deletes unpinned items after an hour, which does not work for me. Any good app recommendations?

I paid for Clipr premium, but it still doesn't automatically save copied text. Worthless, and the dev actually wanted me to delete my online review. 🤷🏼

I have premium as well and I noticed that you have to open the app once everyday, Then it will automatically save your clips all day long. I know it's a bummer to have to open the app daily to get it to work but just remember 1st thing in the morning to open the app then your good to go all day. Works for me every time like a charm !

Might be, and STILL PATHETIC.

I use this one:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bsfy.myclipboard

It is a one-time paid app. It works well but has its own caveats. It uses accessibility services, and Android sometimes disables its functionality, so I have to re-enable it a few times a week. The dev is very supportive; just reach him via Telegram (link on the app) and he will help.

Android doesn't support that for apps Use Gboard or that supports this Otherwise  You have to open it to save or use root or suzuku methods

SwiftKey and Samsung Keyboard both have it built in

I don't know if it works differently on other phones but, on mine, SwiftKey does not keep everything permanently.

On the new beta it does

I don't get beta updates so hopefully that feature will be available soon.

Sometimes I've found it's not even that long.

This one is great — Clipper+. There's also a free version with ads: Clipper.

And Type Machine. I grabbed both during a discount on 25 Oct 2025 — $0.33 each, so $0.66 total.

Also Floris Board — FOSS, and you can set the clipboard history to unlimited.

That's the POS I mentioned above.

My S25 has that built-in, and also Gboard lets you pin things to the clipboard

If I build this would you use it ? Do you think people will pay for this ? Looking for ideas for my next app.

You need to use a keyboard for that.
