Clipboard Manager · Sticky Notes · On-Device Recognition

PasteNote is a Mac clipboard manager: it automatically records text, links, files, and images, with instant recall via ⌘1–9 and support for search and categorization. You can also pin content as desktop sticky notes, recognize text and QR codes in images on-device, lock sensitive content, and organize by app — all data stays on your Mac, with no network access and no uploads.

FAQ

Is my data uploaded anywhere? +

No. All clipboard and note data is stored on your own Mac.

How can I get it now? +

PasteNote is now available on the Mac App Store. Download it from the store to get started.

Does it need any system permissions? +

No Accessibility permission required. ⌘1–9 simply writes content back to the system clipboard — you paste it yourself with ⌘V; PasteNote never simulates keystrokes on your behalf.
