About Paste

Paste is a clipboard manager for Apple devices. It saves everything copied on a Mac, iPhone or iPad with no limit on history, so a user can search the history later, find an old snippet quickly and paste it again.

Users can pin frequently used snippets, links, colors and templates, and the clipboard stays in sync across devices through the user's private iCloud. A feature called Intelligent Clipboard suggests what to paste next using Apple Intelligence on the Mac, and Paste can connect clipboard history to AI tools like Claude, Codex and Cursor, with the user choosing what to share.

The vendor says clipboard data stays on the device and in private iCloud, and not on its servers, with rules to ignore passwords and sensitive apps. Paste is a paid commercial app with a free trial, a team option and a pricing page.
