What is ClipSmart?

ClipSmart is a small, fast utility that makes it easier to handle text and images on mobile:

- Text feels hard to select accurately? - Screenshots are cluttered, but you only need one part? - Need to pull key information from long paragraphs? - Want a quick way to test every key on an external keyboard?

ClipSmart turns those everyday annoyances into quick, simple actions.

> 💡 The app itself was developed entirely on iPad using Swift Playgrounds—
> no traditional computer involved at any stage.

All processing happens locally on your device.
No servers, no accounts, no background syncing.

Core Features

- BigBang Editor – Break text into pieces and rebuild only what you need
- BigBang Intelligence (Offline) – Highlight contacts, addresses, links, and amounts automatically
- Image Clipper – Draw a frame on an image to crop exactly that area
- Keyboard Test – Press every key on your external keyboard and see what responds

✂️ BigBang Editor – A Better Way to Select Text

Text selection on mobile can be awkward and imprecise.
BigBang Editor gives you a different workflow:

- Take a paragraph and instantly “explode” it into words and short phrases - Tap the fragments you want and rebuild them into a fresh sentence, summary, or note - Great for: - Pulling out key points from long content
- Creating quick summaries
- Studying and extracting important terms

No more fighting with long-press and drag handles just to select a few words.

🧠 BigBang Intelligence – Smart Recognition, Fully Offline

BigBang Intelligence scans text on your device and highlights useful items,
with no network connection required.

It can automatically recognize:

- 👤 Contact information
- 📍 Addresses
- 🔗 URLs
- 💰 Amounts and units

Long-press a highlighted item to:

- Copy it
- Open a link
- Or use it in your workflow right away

Everything is processed locally—your text never leaves your device.

🖼 Image Clipper – Draw a Box, Get a Crop

Image Clipper is designed for study and screenshot workflows.

- Draw a frame directly on an image to crop exactly that region - The cropped result is automatically copied to the clipboard - Select multiple areas in a row without constantly re-entering a crop mode

Perfect for:

- Capturing individual questions from a photo of an exam paper
- Extracting specific slides or sections from presentation screenshots
- Turning large, noisy screenshots into small, focused snippets

Compared to the standard crop flow, this can be several times faster.

⌨️ Keyboard Test – Quick Check for Every Key

If you use an external keyboard with your iPad (like Magic Keyboard),
Keyboard Test gives you a simple way to verify that every key works.

- See key presses in real time as you type
- Check for missing or unreliable keys
- Useful when: - Testing a brand-new keyboard
- Inspecting a second-hand keyboard before you commit
- Troubleshooting a key you suspect is flaky

🔒 Fully Offline, Privacy-Respecting

ClipSmart is built for people who care about both efficiency and privacy.

- No login or account required
- No data uploaded to servers
- No dependence on a constant internet connection
- All recognition, text handling, and image processing happens on-device

You can use ClipSmart comfortably even in airplane mode.

💻 Built 100% on iPad

ClipSmart is more than just a tool—it’s also a proof of concept:

- Designed, coded, and tested entirely on iPad Pro - Written with Swift Playgrounds - No desktop development environment used

You’re not just using an app on iPad;
you’re using an app that was created on iPad.
