About Pasly

Pasly keeps a searchable history of what you copy, including text, links, code, numbers, images and files, which you can filter, pin, preview and paste again. It is described as local-first: everyday use works on the Mac without an account, the history is encrypted on the device by default, and you can pause capture or clear history at any time.

Smart Paste lets you press Cmd+V and pick the right item from your history without leaving the app you are in. Paste Stack lets you copy several items and then paste them in sequence, and Multi Select with files lets you paste several items and files in one action. Floating Paste and Field Sense are further Pro features.

Pasly Cloud, included with Pro, syncs text, images and files between Macs, iPhone and iPad through your private CloudKit database. The free version keeps up to 20 items for 24 hours with up to two pins, and Pro is a one-time purchase of $9.99.
