Pastin
What Pastin is
Pastin is a clipboard manager for iOS and macOS that keeps copied material in a searchable history. It also supports snippets for content you reuse. The free plan costs nothing and stores up to 50 clipboard items. Paid plans provide unlimited history, unlimited pinned snippets and folders, widgets, themes, Shortcuts actions, smart format detection, and bulk export. Pastin offers a three-day trial. Pro Weekly is $2.99 a month with a weekly subscription, Pro Monthly is $6.99 a month billed monthly, and Pro Yearly is $29.99 a year billed annually. The yearly plan is described as everything unlimited. Pastin does not provide cross-device sync, so its clipboard history remains managed on supported devices rather than shared between them.
