Clip Ink

Write on your cover screen. No keyboard.

The cover screen of a Galaxy Z Flip is right there when the phone is closed, but typing on it means a cramped keyboard you can’t change. Clip Ink skips the keyboard entirely: write with a finger, anywhere on the screen, and it turns into text a word at a time. When you’re done, one tap puts the note on the clipboard, in a text message, an email, or any app that takes text.

What it does

Write with a finger

Handwriting becomes text as you go. Recognition runs on the phone itself.

Edit without a keyboard

Move the cursor, select, delete and undo with a few finger gestures, like a trackpad.

Send it anywhere

Clipboard, text message, email, or any app you pick: draw its letter with three fingers to switch.

Dictate and draw

Speak a sentence, or sketch into the note on a black page, like a screen-off memo, with zoom for detail. Spelling and grammar slips are underlined.

Good to know

Made for the cover screen of Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip, and works on any Android phone running Android 10 or later, on the main screen too.
The first time it opens, it downloads Google’s handwriting model (about 20 MB), so it needs a connection once. After that, writing works offline.
No account, no ads, no tracking. Your note stays on your phone until you send it. See the privacy policy.
