iPad Needs a Clipboard Manager

Frederico Viticci:

This limitation extends beyond the realm of pro apps such as Final Cut or Logic and applies to all kind of software that, due to the nature of iPadOS, is impossible to find on the platform. Because of a mix of technical limitations and policy decisions, it’s still impossible for an application that wants to perform something in the background to exist on iPadOS. From clipboard managers and video encoders to automation utilities and AI-based photo editors, if you want to run a time-consuming task in the background on iPad, you’re out of luck.

I thought the exact same thing today while typing on my iPad. On the Mac and Windows, you can stack a bunch of text and images up in your clipboard and insert them in any order in another document. The iPad? Not so much. All the window switching is bananas.
