I'm looking for a Clipboard app for iOs, that I can share copies to and also use as a keyboard to easily access saved copies.
I often have to past the same info day in day out so the keyboard access thing is vital.
Ideally something that supports a web interface to manage the clips, I need to import a whole page full from Android and doing it all one at a time on my iPhone is a real pita. Ideally something free but I don't mind paying for a well designed app that does the job.

Thus far the best one I have found is Copy 'Em which is almost all I need barring no web interface to manage clips.
apps.apple.com

Copy 'Em + Paste Keyboard App - App Store

Download Copy 'Em + Paste Keyboard by Hoi Chang on the App Store. See screenshots, ratings and reviews, user tips, and more apps like Copy 'Em + Paste Keyboard.

Does no one use there things on iOs despite there not being a system clipboard?

Thanks for the link, I’ve read many of those “these are the options” webpages but I was hoping someone who’s actually a user of one may comment. Otherwise it’s hard to gauge exactly how good they are without installing them all and putting them through their paces, which I have done with a few thus far but still not quite what I’m looking for.

That’s obviously your best bet. Install, delete, repeat.

Judging by your op, creating keyboard shortcuts for boilerplates would another way of doing it.

You create a keyboard shortcut and it fills in the text whenever you invoke the shortcut.

Yes I use those already, you can add them to the custom dictionary for the native iOS keyboard and Gboard.
The info I need to paste regularly is a little bit too big and needs some formatting
 
Will the native Notes app not work? I have many templates saved. Copy and paste them where needed.

I heard about that app, why would an innocuous little app like that be region locked?

No clue, I didn't have to jump through any hoops when I initially downloaded it. I only realised it was removed when I went to look for the link to share here.
 
I'm on a productivity journey and looking into this as well. Just a seamless way to copy stuff between iOS and Mac OS.

There's already a seamless way to copy between iOS and MacOS - it's called universal clipboard.

Oh I know about that - its got abit of a delay on my end as I'm still using ancient devices however the copy feature is great for once off copies. I usually need to refer to a number of copies and paste them on pc or even from one device to another and while universal clipboard is perfect for just one entry at a time - it fails at copying a number of entries that I may need to look back on.

At the moment I am using Unclutter on two systems syncing through icloud drive (still doesnt not sync clipboard - only files and text copied into the shelf). But thats my only work around at the moment and does not even include iOS.

Copy ‘Em works very well on iPhone/iPad, it has a desktop app(once off fee) and sync but it’s R170pa for sync
