Paste
Paste is a macOS clipboard manager that saves your copy history, helps you find past items quickly, and keeps reusable content organized.
What is Paste?
Paste is a native clipboard manager for Mac that helps you save, search, and reuse everything you copy. It is designed for people who work with repeated snippets, links, images, and other clipboard content throughout the day, including writers, office users, developers, and designers. Instead of relying on the single-item system clipboard, Paste keeps a history so you can return to something you copied earlier without re-creating it. The app also supports organizing saved items for repeated use and syncing clipboard content across Apple devices for users who work on both Mac and iPhone or iPad. On macOS, it fits into everyday workflows where quick recall, search, and repeated pasting can save time.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Paste is a well-known clipboard utility, but its purpose requires ongoing access to clipboard contents. That means anything you copy, including passwords, codes, personal messages, or confidential work material, may be stored in the app's history unless you exclude or clear it. Clipboard monitoring is consistent with the app's function, but users should review its privacy settings, sync behavior, and any exclusions for sensitive apps before trusting it with confidential data.
Recommendation: Keep Paste if you actively use clipboard history, saved snippets, or cross-device sync in your workflow. If you do not use those features, removing it will mainly affect your ability to recall older copied items and reuse saved clipboard content.
