Description
Tired of manually copying a page title, then the URL, then assembling [Title](URL) by hand? Safari on iPhone and iPad doesn't come with a good way to copy links as Markdown, rich text, or HTML — and that's exactly what CopyLinkToPasteboard fixes. One tap, and the link is on your clipboard in whatever format you need.
CopyLinkToPasteboard is a native Safari extension for iPhone and iPad that copies the current tab's link to your clipboard in 7 built-in formats plus fully customizable templates. Whether you're pasting into Obsidian, Notion, Slack, GitHub, or an email, there's a format ready to go.
■ 7 Built-in Formats
• Markdown — [Title](URL). For Obsidian, Notion, Bear, Logseq, GitHub issues, pull requests, README files, or any Markdown editor.
• HyperLink (Rich Text / RTF) — A clickable rich text link for Apple Mail, Gmail, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Pages, Keynote, Word, or Google Docs.
• HTML with charset — Properly encoded (a) anchor tag with charset declaration for WordPress or CMS platforms.
• HTML as Text — The raw (a href) tag as plain text for code editors, HTML templates, or CMS source views.
• Title and URL — Page title on line one, URL on line two. For emails, chats, Jira comments, or meeting notes.
• Title only — Just the page title for spreadsheets, reference lists, or bookmarks.
• URL only — The bare URL for terminal commands, configuration files, or plain sharing.
■ Custom Format Templates — Build Exactly What You Need
Create your own output formats using ${title} and ${url} placeholder variables:
• Slack: <${url}|${title}>
• Jira / Confluence: [${title}|${url}]
• LaTeX: \href{${url}}{${title}}
• BBCode: [url=${url}]${title}[/url]
• Tab-separated (for spreadsheets): ${title}\t${url}
Define as many templates as you need. They appear in the extension popup alongside built-in formats.
■ Smart Link Text — Use Selected Text as the Link Title
Select text on any web page before copying, and your selection automatically becomes the link title instead of the page title. Works with every format, including custom templates.
■ Keyboard Shortcuts on iPad
Using an external keyboard with your iPad? Copy links instantly with dedicated keyboard shortcuts:
• ⌃⇧C — Open the extension popup to choose any format
• ⌃⇧M — Copy as Markdown instantly (the most popular shortcut)
• ⌃⇧H — Copy as HyperLink (RTF) instantly
• ⌃⇧U — Copy URL only instantly
These shortcuts make link copying as fast and natural as ⌘C on your iPad.
■ How to Copy — Extension Popup in Safari's Address Bar
Tap the extension icon in Safari's address bar to open a compact popup showing all available formats — built-in and custom — in one place. Choose a format and the link is copied instantly to your clipboard. Quick, simple, always accessible.
■ Where People Use It
Developers, writers, students, and project managers use it daily with tools like GitHub, Obsidian, Notion, Slack, Jira, Confluence, WordPress, Google Docs, and Apple Notes. Custom templates match any team's link conventions. Copy once, paste perfectly — into emails, notes, documents, or chats.
■ Privacy First
No data collection. No tracking. No analytics. No accounts. No network requests whatsoever. CopyLinkToPasteboard only reads the page title and URL at the moment you choose to copy. Nothing is stored on disk or transmitted to any server. Your browsing activity remains completely private.
■ Free Forever — No Ads, No In-App Purchases
CopyLinkToPasteboard is completely free with no ads and no in-app purchases — now or ever. Built as a native Safari Web Extension with Swift for fast performance and minimal resource usage. Also available on Mac with the same great experience.
