Copy Link to Pasteboard

URL with Markdown on Clipboard

Features & Capabilities

Tired of manually copying a page title, then the URL, then assembling Title 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. 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.

Unfortunately, you need to use the copy command twice before it will erase the previous copy. This is VERY cumbersome. Please fix this otherwise useful extension as there is no alternative.

This extension elegently captures the functionality I have been looking for. It allows you to copy both the URL and the title of a website into one string in various formats. A future improvement could be to be able to right click on a link and capture the URL and title of the linking website. Great work!

It's good to see on Safari what I can get on Firefox, Chrome, and Opera: a copy-link-text extension that can then format the link's URL and text. I use it all the time, and I wouldn't want to use a browser where I could not do that. So it's a good addition to Safari. I find it incomplete, however. It lacks: * BBCode formatting * MediaWiki formatting * Some way of editing the formatting BBCode is what a lot of messageboard software uses, like phpBB, Simple Machines, vBulletin, and XenForo. MediaWiki is what Wikipedia and a lot of other wikis use.
