Essential Mac Apps
Paste
Clipboard manager for Mac, iPhone, and iPad.
Paste keeps a history of what you copy on a Mac, iPhone, or iPad. You can search that history and pin the snippets, links, colors, and templates you use often.
History syncs across devices signed in with the same Apple Account. Paste says the clipboard stays on your device and in your private iCloud, and does not go to Paste servers. You can set rules so it ignores passwords and other sensitive apps.
While you work, Paste can suggest the next thing to paste. The site says that feature uses Apple Intelligence and runs on the Mac. Paste can also share clipboard history with AI tools such as Claude, Codex, and Cursor, and you choose what to share.
The Mac app requires macOS 14 or later. Download it from pasteapp.io or the Mac App Store. The iPhone and iPad apps come from the App Store. A 7-day trial unlocks the full app on every device.
Frequently asked questions

How does the trial work?
The trial lasts 7 days and includes the full app. A download from pasteapp.io does not ask for a credit card, and it does not charge you when the trial ends. An App Store subscription renews unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends. Your clipboard history is kept either way.

What is the Family Plan?
The Family Plan covers up to six people in a Family Sharing group. It is billed annually and sold only on the App Store. The Team Plan is sold on the Paste website.
How do refunds work?
