Powerful features, private by default
Paste It! is a free, open-source clipboard manager for Mac — searchable clipboard history, OCR search, type filters, Paste Stack, and privacy controls, with nothing sent to the cloud.
Infinite clipboard history
Paste It! watches your clipboard in the background and keeps a searchable clipboard history of everything you copy — text, rich text, HTML, images, file URLs, and links.
OCR search that sees images too
Type to filter by content or source app. OCR search indexes screenshots and copied images with Vision, so nothing slips through the cracks.
Type filters in one chip
Show only text, numbers, links, images, or files. One chip control stays on when you reopen the panel — clear it anytime.
Spotlight-style floating panel
Open with Shift + Command + V. Browse visual cards, preview clips, and stage the right item to your clipboard — then paste where you need it. Control + Command + V pastes the current clipboard as plain text and restores the original rich clipboard afterward.
Pinboards that stick
Drag clips onto pinboards for permanent retention. Keep snippets, colors, and templates ready for the work you do every day.
Paste Stack
Collect multiple clips with Shift + Command + C, reorder them, and prepare sequential pastes — perfect for forms, snippets, and multi-step workflows.
Privacy controls that matter
Free and open source by design. Pause capture anytime, ignore password managers and other sensitive apps, set retention rules, and prune storage when you want a clean slate.
While paused, copied content is left untouched and never written to local history.
Clipboard history for Claude, Cursor & Codex (MCP)
Open MCP from the menu bar, copy the URL, and hand it to your agent. Paste It! exposes read-only access to your local history — browse and search, including OCR text inside screenshots. Works with Claude, Cursor, Codex, and other MCP clients. Agents cannot insert clips, clear history, or otherwise write to your clipboard library.
