Paste

What Paste is
Paste is a clipboard manager for Mac, iPhone, and iPad that saves copied items for later retrieval. Its clipboard history has no limit and can be searched. Pinboards hold reusable snippets, links, colors, and templates, while rich text support handles more than plain text. Paste syncs clipboard content across supported devices through private iCloud. Rules can make it ignore passwords and other sensitive apps. It can suggest what to paste next using Apple Intelligence privately on Mac. Paste MCP runs locally on Mac and connects to Claude, Codex, Cursor, and other MCP tools; you choose access and can revoke it. Clipboard and pinboard data stay locally or in your iCloud, not Paste servers. Pricing starts at $2.49/mo with a seven-day trial and no free plan. Mac requires macOS 14 or later.
