PasteNote
A clipboard manager for the Mac, done right

Back to your clipboard
Automatically records the text, links, files, and images you copy — search and recall anytime.Instant recall with ⌘1–9, plus search and categorization.Selecting a history item writes it back to the system clipboard for you to paste manually in the destination app.
Bind Notes to an App
Bind a note you only need in one app to that app: it shows up when you switch to it and hides when you leave.
Launch at Login · iCloud Sync
Start PasteNote automatically when you log in, so you never miss your first copy. Turn on personal iCloud sync to keep your history and notes in sync across your Macs. History has a size limit, and the oldest items are cleaned up automatically once it's reached.
Pause Recording · Ignored Apps
Pause recording when you don't want what you copy in your history, skip just the next copy for a one-time code, or add an app to the ignore list so nothing you copy there is recorded.
App Workspaces
Create a workspace for an app you use a lot, and whatever you copy in it is grouped together automatically. Open the panel in an app and see that app's items first.
Sequential Paste
Use Sequential Paste when you need to paste a set of items one after another into a form or spreadsheet. It needs to recognize the ⌘V you press in other apps, so it asks for Input Monitoring permission first. You can also paste each item several times, or have the sequence stop on its own when you’re idle.
Customize Shortcuts
Change the shortcuts you use most to whatever feels natural.
Privacy Commitment
PasteNote runs in an app sandbox, and all processing happens on-device. We collect no data — your content always belongs only to you.
FAQ
Is my data uploaded anywhere? +
Nothing is uploaded to the developer’s servers. Data is stored on your Mac by default; if you turn on iCloud sync, it syncs to your own iCloud account.
Does it support iCloud sync? +
Yes, off by default. Turn it on in Preferences → General, then restart PasteNote for the change to take effect. Sync goes through Apple iCloud, not the developer’s servers.
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? +
Selecting a history item writes it back to the system clipboard for you to paste manually in the destination app. The App does not request or use Accessibility access or simulate paste keystrokes. Only the optional Sequential Paste asks for Input Monitoring permission, to recognize the ⌘V you press; without it, clipboard history and manual copying still work.
