Paste is a premium, visual clipboard manager designed for the Apple ecosystem. Created by WiNSOFT, it replaces the basic text list found in traditional clipboard utilities with a polished, horizontal bottom shelf featuring app icons, rich link previews, and visual color codes. It automatically syncs everything you copy across macOS, iOS, and iPadOS using iCloud, making multi-device workflows seamless.
Key Features
Visual Cards & UI Shelf – Displays copied text, images, links, and documents as rich cards organized at the bottom of the screen with clear app provenance.
iCloud Synchronization – Automatically keeps clipboard history in sync across Mac, iPhone, and iPad so you can copy on one device and paste on another.
Pinboards – Organize frequently used snippets, links, boilerplates, or assets into custom visual collections for instant access.
Paste Stack – Copy multiple items in sequence from different sources and automatically paste them one by one in order.
Privacy Rules & Exclusions – Excludes sensitive data copied from password managers and allows custom app blocklists to protect privacy.
Customizable History Limits – Choose how long Paste stores your history, from 1 day up to unlimited retention.
Why Use Paste?
Paste is ideal for creators, designers, and Apple enthusiasts who value aesthetic elegance, visual context, and cross-device continuity. If you regularly jump between Mac, iPhone, and iPad and prefer browsing clipboard history by full visual previews rather than small text lists, Paste delivers one of the most refined clipboard management experiences on macOS.
