v1.12.0 official release notes

Published May 20, 2026 (written alongside the v1.12.0 release)

Hi everyone,

Octoclip has been a small-team, paid-supported product built for the long haul since day one. During the closed and open beta, we unlocked every feature to refine the product; with the official v1.12.0 release, Octoclip moves into its intended Free + Paid structure as planned. This note covers how paid plans work.

Pre-sale customers: see the dedicated pre-sale purchase guide.

1. Paid plans (one-time purchase, no subscription)

  • One-time purchase — pay once, no subscription (see the pricing page).
  • All paid licenses include 1 year of updates. Paid features you unlock during that period keep working after it ends. Once it expires, renew (purchase a new license) to unlock new features in later releases.
  • Standard License and Plus License include exactly the same features. The only difference is license-activated device count (2 vs. 5).
  • A limited-time launch discount is on now; see prices and the deadline on the pricing page.

2. Free vs. paid entitlements (aligned with pricing)

Free (free forever) includes:

  • Cross-device copy and paste
  • Clip history, search and Quick Input, collections, and aliases — all at the basic tier
  • Cloud Sync: starter access (WebDAV / S3 supported; data stays in your own cloud)
  • Nearby Sync: basic connection

Clip data beyond the Free quota isn't deleted because of the limit — it stays on your device, and a paid license unlocks access to it.

Paid licenses (Standard / Plus — same features) unlock on activated devices:

  • Full clip history, search and Quick Input, collections, and aliases
  • Full Cloud Sync (WebDAV / S3)
  • Unlimited Nearby Sync connected devices
  • License-activated device count: 2 (Standard) or 5 (Plus)

Note: Nearby Sync connected devices (how many devices can sync nearby) and license-activated devices (how many devices can enable the paid features above) are two separate limits — see the pricing FAQ.

When is paying worth it?

  • You sync frequently across 2 or more devices
  • Your everyday clip needs exceed the Free tier's quick-access and Cloud Sync quotas
  • You want full use of search, collections, aliases, and other organizing tools

3. 14-day trial

So you can fully evaluate whether the paid version fits you, we offer a 14-day free trial: enter the activation code OCTOCLIP-WELCOME under Settings → License to get the same feature set as a paid license.

When the trial ends you automatically return to Free — the app keeps working and your local data is preserved. If you purchase during the trial, you still get the limited-time launch discount; trying it out won't cost you the deal.

Special thanks to everyone who stuck with us through the beta. This code is a token of our appreciation — we hope you keep finding Octoclip valuable in the official release.

4. Older versions

We won't force older versions offline. A note, though: cross-device clip sync mainly runs on your own S3 / WebDAV or direct LAN paths — we don't host your clip content; license activation, update checks, and similar flows may still use our services. Older builds on the same major version can usually keep syncing with each other under the same sync setup; however, sync protocol compatibility across major versions or between older and newer builds is not guaranteed. If you use multiple devices, we recommend upgrading to v1.12.0 or the same major version.

One last thing

Octoclip is built by a 3-person team. No outside funding, and the team isn't drawing a salary right now — we do this because we use it every day ourselves, and we believe some people will find it worth paying for.

One-time purchase, your data in your own cloud, your local data always yours — it's the most restrained way to build a business that we could think of. We hope it's a fair deal for you too.

If you choose to pay, thank you; if you stay on Free, you're welcome here too. Pricing, features, bugs — all feedback is welcome in the community.

v1.12.0 正式版发布说明

发布于 2026 年 5 月 20 日（v1.12.0 发版同期撰写）

各位章鱼速贴的用户：

章鱼速贴自第一天起就是一个以付费支持长期开发的小团队产品。内测和公测期间，我们开放了全部功能用于产品打磨；正式版 v1.12.0 按原计划进入 免费版 + 付费版 的结构。本文说明付费相关安排。

预售期已购买的用户请参阅单独的 预售期购买说明。

一、付费计划说明（买断制，不订阅）

  • 买断制，一次付费，不订阅(与 定价页 一致)
  • 所有付费许可证均含 1 年更新支持；在更新有效期内解锁的付费功能，到期后仍可继续使用；届满后需续期(购买新许可证)方可解锁此后新版本中的新功能
  • 标准许可证与 Plus 许可证功能完全一致，区别仅为许可证可激活设备数(2 台 / 5 台)
  • 发版限时 75 折优惠进行中；价格与优惠截止日期详见 定价页

二、免费版与付费版权益（与定价页一致）

免费版（永久免费）包含：

  • 跨设备复制与粘贴
  • 剪贴历史、搜索与快速输入、收藏与别名——均为基础档位
  • 云同步：入门体验（支持 WebDAV / S3，数据存储在你自己的云上）
  • 附近同步：基础连接

超出免费额度的剪贴数据不会因额度限制而删除，仍保留在本地；付费后可解锁访问。

付费许可证（标准 / Plus，功能相同）在已激活的设备上解锁：

  • 完整剪贴历史、搜索与快速输入、收藏与别名
  • 完整云同步（WebDAV / S3）
  • 附近同步可连接设备数量不限
  • 许可证可激活设备数：标准 2 台，Plus 5 台

请注意：附近同步可连接设备数（同步能连多少台）与许可证可激活设备数（多少台设备能启用上述付费能力）是两套不同限制，详见 定价页 FAQ。

什么时候建议付费？

  • 你需要在 2 台或更多设备间频繁同步
  • 你的日常剪贴需求超过免费版的快速访问与云同步额度
  • 你需要完整使用搜索、收藏、别名等整理功能

三、14 天试用

为了让你充分评估付费版是否适合自己，我们提供 14 天免费试用：在 「设置 → 许可证」 输入激活码 OCTOCLIP-WELCOME，即可获得与付费许可证相同的功能体验。

试用期结束后自动回到免费版，应用可继续使用，本地数据完整保留。试用期内购买，同样享受发版限时优惠，不会因为试用而错过折扣。

特别感谢公测期一路陪我们走来的用户。这个激活码对你们是一份诚意——希望你们在正式版里继续找到 章鱼速贴 的价值。

四、老版本

老版本不会被强制下线。但需要提醒：剪贴内容的跨设备同步主要走你自建的 S3 / WebDAV 或局域网直连，不由我们托管剪贴内容；许可证激活、更新检查等仍可能使用我们的服务。同一主版本的老版本之间，在相同同步配置下通常仍可互相同步；跨主版本或新旧版本之间的同步协议兼容性不保证。多设备使用的朋友，建议升级到 v1.12.0 或同一大版本。

写在最后

章鱼速贴 是一个 3 人小团队的产品。没有外部融资，团队成员目前不拿工资——做这件事是因为我们自己每天都在用，也相信会有人愿意为它付费。

买断制、数据存在你自己的云上、本地数据始终属于你——这是我们能想到的对用户最克制的商业化方式。我们希望这是个对你也合理的交易。

如果你愿意付费支持，谢谢你；如果你选择继续用免费版，也欢迎你留下来。定价、功能、Bug，任何意见都欢迎来 社区。
