Uses Bluetooth Low Energy™ To Spare Battery Life

Scribe really does make it incredibly easy to copy anything from your Mac to your mobile device. All you have to do is select whatever it is you want to copy, and then press “Command + Shift + X,” and the item will be instantly copied to your iOS clipboard so that you can paste it wherever you need it.

So how exactly is this achieved without a Wi-Fi connection? Well, instead of needing to be connected to the Internet, Scribe copies the data by using Bluetooth connectivity.

Scribe uses Bluetooth Low Energy™ which is a very clever technology that keeps your devices continually paired, providing a secure connection without eating up your battery life. The developer claims that you could leave it on all day without noticing any kind of detriment to your battery life.

Avoid Typing Lengthy Messages On Your iPhone Keyboard

One thing that I can imagine this app being particularly useful for is when you want to type out relatively lengthy message to a recipient on, say, Whatsapp, but don’t want to have to do it on your teeny tiny iPhone keyboard.

Chunky-thumbed folks like me can simply tap out the message on their Mac before pasting it very speedily into whatever app it is needed, just like that!
