Paste
Paste is a clipboard manager for Mac that saves copy history, helps you organize snippets, and lets you quickly reuse content across devices.
What is Paste?
Paste is a productivity app for Mac that extends the system clipboard by keeping a searchable history of the text, links, images, and other content you copy. It helps users quickly find something they copied earlier, reuse repeated snippets, and keep important items pinned for later. Paste also supports organization features such as pinboards, making it useful for research, writing, support work, coding, and other tasks that involve frequent copy and paste. For people who use multiple Apple devices, it can sync clipboard content across Mac, iPhone, and iPad through iCloud. The app is designed to stay available while you work so you can open your clipboard history from other apps without interrupting your flow.
Key features
- Save and browse clipboard history beyond the last copied item
- Search past copied text, links, images, and other saved content
- Pin important snippets and organize them into pinboards
- Sync clipboard history across Mac, iPhone, and iPad with iCloud
- Paste recent items quickly with keyboard shortcuts

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Paste is legitimate clipboard software, but clipboard managers handle a lot of sensitive information by design because they can store anything you copy, including passwords, codes, personal messages, and confidential text. That level of access is normal for this type of app, but it means you should use its privacy controls carefully, pause capture when needed, and avoid relying on clipboard history for highly sensitive secrets unless you are comfortable with how the app stores and syncs that data.
Recommendation: Keep Paste if you actively use clipboard history, saved snippets, or cross-device copy and paste in your daily work. If you no longer use it, removing it is reasonable, but you may lose saved clipboard history, pinned items, and any organization you created inside the app.
