Unlimited clipboard history
Paste stores copied items with unlimited history, so text, links, colors, templates, code snippets, and other copied content can be retrieved later.
Paste
Paste is a clipboard manager for Mac, iPhone, and iPad that saves unlimited clipboard history, makes copied content searchable, and syncs it across Apple devices. It also supports pinned pinboards, team sharing, and local connections to compatible AI tools through MCP.
Clipboard history for Apple devices
Paste is a clipboard manager for Mac, iPhone, and iPad. It saves copied content in an unlimited clipboard history, then makes that history searchable so users can recover text, links, images, colors, code snippets, and other items instead of losing them after the next copy.
The app also provides pinned items and pinboards for frequently reused content, syncs clipboard data across supported Apple devices through private iCloud, and can connect approved AI tools to clipboard history through Paste MCP. Paste is designed for individual workflows as well as teams that need to share selected reusable pinboards without exposing personal clipboard histories.
Core features
Full-history search
Search the entire clipboard history to locate a previously copied item instead of copying it again.
Pinned items and pinboards
Pin frequently reused snippets, links, colors, and templates so they remain easy to access.
Cross-device sync
Keep clipboard content available across Mac, iPhone, and iPad through sync using private iCloud.
Intelligent Clipboard
Paste can suggest what to paste next based on the current work context, using Apple Intelligence privately on the Mac.
MCP for AI workflows
Paste MCP lets approved AI tools search, use, save, and organize clipboard content through a local connection on the Mac.
Practical use cases
Development work
Keep multiple code fragments, commands, documentation links, and configuration values available while switching between files or tools, without overwriting an earlier copy.
Design references
Save and quickly retrieve hex colors, icons, links, and visual references that are reused across design tasks.
Writing and research
Recover paragraphs, research notes, and source links copied while drafting, then use pinned content for recurring writing materials.
Team libraries
Use shared pinboards for team-approved replies, legal wording, colors, or snippets while keeping each person’s full clipboard history private.
AI-assisted workflows
Give a connected AI tool access to selected clipboard context for tasks such as drafting an update from copied notes, summarizing recent copied material, or organizing project items into a pinboard.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Unlimited clipboard history with search makes older copied content recoverable.
- Sync is available across Mac, iPhone, and iPad, with clipboard data kept on the devices and in private iCloud rather than Paste’s servers.
- Pinned items and pinboards support both personal reuse and selected team sharing.
- Paste MCP provides a local connection between clipboard history and compatible AI tools, with user-controlled access.
- A seven-day trial includes the full feature set across devices.
Cons
- The product is focused on Apple devices: Mac requires macOS 14 or later, and iPhone and iPad access is provided through the App Store.
- AI access through Paste MCP is built for Mac, so MCP setup and operation are not described as iPhone or iPad features.
- Some purchasing options vary by channel: the Family Plan is App Store-only and the Team Plan is available through the website.
FAQ
Which devices does Paste support?
Paste is available on Mac, iPhone, and iPad. A trial started on one device unlocks Paste on the other devices signed in with the same Apple Account.
How do I start a Paste trial?
You can download Paste for Mac from the website for a seven-day trial without a credit card, or use the App Store. On iPhone and iPad, Paste is downloaded from the App Store.
What happens when the seven-day trial ends?
The website download does not charge automatically when the trial ends, and your clipboard history is kept for access if you later purchase a plan. An App Store subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the trial ends.
How does Paste connect to AI tools?
Paste MCP is built into Paste for Mac. Open MCP settings in Paste, enable MCP, choose a compatible AI tool, and follow its setup guide. It works with Claude, Codex, Cursor, and other tools that support MCP.
Can teammates see one another’s clipboard history?
No. In the team plan, each user’s clipboard history remains private. Only pinboards that someone chooses to share are visible to invited teammates.
