Quick answers
How does Nabbin work on Mac?
Open Nabbin from the menu bar or press Command-Shift-V. Choose + to write a new text clip, or Save Clipboard to keep something you copied. Select a saved clip, click Copy to Clipboard, switch to your destination app, and press Command-V.
Optional clipboard recording runs while Nabbin is running, even with its window closed. Pause it from the menu bar or exclude apps in Settings. Nabbin skips supported password-manager apps and clipboard content marked sensitive; this cannot identify every sensitive item.
Why wasn't something I copied saved?
iOS does not let Nabbin continuously monitor the clipboard in the background. Open Nabbin and use Paste, share content to Nabbin through the Share sheet, or use a Nabbin Shortcut. Automatic capture when opening the app or clipboard keyboard depends on your settings and iOS paste permission.
If the source app does not provide readable image data, try sharing the original image instead.
How do I sync my library?
Open Settings → iCloud sync in Nabbin. Sync is optional and uses your Apple Account's private iCloud database. Use the same Apple Account on your devices, enable sync, and open Nabbin on each device to let pending changes finish. Changes may take around 30–60 seconds to appear; network conditions can make this longer.
Turning off sync keeps the existing local and cloud copies. Family Sharing does not share your clips.
How do iPhone and iPad encrypted backups work?
Open Settings → Backup & restore. Save the encrypted backup to Files, then use restore to merge its contents into your library.
Decryption requires the matching key in your Apple Keychain. Recovery on another device requires the same Apple Account, iCloud Passwords & Keychain, and the key to have synchronized. Test recovery on the new device before erasing the old one. Support cannot recover a missing encryption key.
How do I restore or cancel a purchase?
On the opening Nabbin Plus screen (or Settings → Nabbin Plus), choose Restore Purchases using the Apple Account that made the purchase. Use Manage Subscription to manage renewal. Apple handles payment and refund requests.
Nabbin is currently in private testing. TestFlight purchases use Apple's sandbox and do not charge real money.
What happens when my plan ends?
Nabbin locks until you renew or restore an active plan. Your saved clips are kept and become available again when access resumes. Restore Purchases and subscription management remain available on the opening Plus screen.
How do I delete saved content?
Delete clips in Nabbin to move them to Recently Deleted. Permanently delete them there when you are ready. With iCloud sync enabled, deletion changes sync to your other devices when the app runs. Separately exported backup files remain until you delete them from their storage locations.
