Paste Helper
Paste Helper is a login item bundled with Paste that can start in the background to support app features when you sign in.
What is Paste Helper?
Paste Helper is a background login item installed with Paste at /Applications/Paste.app/Contents/Library/LoginItems/Paste Helper.app. Users typically encounter it after installing Paste, where it may launch automatically at login so the main app can provide clipboard-related features, faster availability, notifications, or other background support.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
This item appears to be part of the legitimate Paste app bundle rather than a standalone unknown startup entry. It is generally low risk if you intentionally installed Paste, but disabling it may limit background features or how quickly Paste is available after login.
Recommendation: Keep it if you use Paste regularly or want its background functionality available immediately after signing in. If you do not use Paste often, you can review or disable its login item and then test whether the app still behaves as you expect. If Paste is no longer needed, remove the app through normal uninstall steps rather than deleting bundle contents manually.
