About Paste

Paste keeps everything you copy, with no history limit, and shows it as a scrollable strip of visual cards so you can spot an image, colour or link at a glance. You can search the whole history, organise frequently used snippets into pinboards, and paste items or groups of items back with the keyboard. History syncs between Mac, iPhone and iPad through your private iCloud rather than Paste's servers, and you can tell it to ignore passwords and specific apps. Newer features suggest what you might paste next using on-device Apple Intelligence and let AI coding tools read selected clipboard history. Paste is sold as a monthly or yearly subscription or a lifetime licence, each covering all your Apple devices, with a 7-day free trial; there are family and team plans and a student discount, and it is included in Setapp. It only runs on Apple platforms, so people who also use Windows or Android will need something else.

Best for: Apple users who want clipboard history synced across Mac, iPhone and iPad.
