App summary

Clip Stack The easiest way to extend multi clipboard for Android.

Android 10 Special Tips:

Since Android 10 background clipboard access has been limited so you have to grant these ADB permissions to Clip Stack on your computer:

adb -d shell appops set com.catchingnow.tinyclipboardmanager SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW allow;
adb -d shell pm grant com.catchingnow.tinyclipboardmanager android.permission.READ_LOGS;
adb -d shell am force-stop com.catchingnow.tinyclipboardmanager;

There is no impact on the version below android 10 and can be used directly.



- XDA-Developers: The developer offers up an app that allows you to control your clipboard and easily store multiple links and copies.

- Droid Views: After extensively using this app I must say this app is a true winner in actually making it easier for us to freely copy text and then use it some other time.

Clip Stack can remember all your clipboard history and recover text after reboot. It's a clipboard manager, a user friendly notebook, and maybe a tiny GTD manager.

You can easily copy, share, star, delete, and merge every text.

VERY Useful App! 💖 Best attribute? Instantly available. Pull down Anytime, Anywhere, over Anything where stock CB will NOT; Use and roll it back up! It carries Photos, Buttons & Links. Write to it: Create on-the-spot formatting at places where it can't be done (Online Forms!); Make separate copies into one, and a lot more, ALL right there without ever losing your place. Never a glitch, Never once bothered by ads: Free & totally interference Free. Love it! 💞 Thank you so much Ruoxin He!

This is absolutely essential for researchers, writers, and just people who get ticked (or tickled) by certain things and want to reference it later - but, accurately. I just love it. I feel like they could add an option for color coding or a floating toggle.

I would give five stars, but unfortunately clip stack is not wotking reliable and this is awkward. It stops at a certain point to collect new clippings. I applied the adb commands. Samsung, Android 13. I have to force stop clip stack and start anew. I don't know, why and when it stops remembering the clipboard contents, I tried different settings, it makes no difference. Also I miss some features from Clipper+, as other lists...But this is not so important. Important is, that it works reliable.
