Description

PastePaw is a multi-themed, privacy-first clipboard history manager for macOS.

**29 Stunning Themes**
– 18 themes in horizontal card layout: Default, Cyberpunk, Hacker Terminal, Liquid Glass, Wabi-sabi, Classic Mac, Linear, Glassmorphism, Pixel Art, Steampunk, Brutalism, Skeuomorphic, Frutiger Aero, Sanriocore, Y2K Chrome, Coquette, Fairycore, and Decora
– 11 themes in a slim vertical column that docks to your screen edge or follows your cursor like a context menu: Default, Cyberpunk, Hacker Terminal, Liquid Glass, Linear, Pixel Art, Classic Mac, Coquette, Decora, and the vertical-only Editorial Neon and Frost
– Pin the vertical column so it stays put when you click outside, and drag it freely by the header
– Switch layouts and themes anytime to match your mood, your workflow, or your screen

**Clipboard History**
– Automatically saves everything you copy — text, images, files, and folders
– Tracks which app each clip came from, with app icon display
– Smart duplicate detection so your history stays clean
– Configurable history limits: 100, 500, 1,000, or unlimited items
– Auto-delete old clips after 7, 30, or 90 days — or keep them forever

**Powerful Preview Tools**
– Press Space to preview any clip — and get tools tailored to what it is
– Markdown & code: full GitHub-Flavored Markdown with syntax-highlighted code blocks and clickable links
– Images: extract text (OCR), Live Text, scan QR & barcodes, and lift the subject
– Text: color preview, timestamp & number-base conversion, XML formatting, and QR generation

**Clipboard MCP Server**
– Your AI agent finally sees what you actually copied — a local MCP server, running on your Mac
– Grant capabilities one by one: reading, searching, saving, filing into collections
– Scope any agent to a single collection, and keep secure collections invisible to all of them
– Nothing is uploaded — the agent talks to PastePaw on your machine, not to a server

**AI-Powered Actions**
– Summarize, translate, explain code, or fix grammar — right from the context menu
– Create unlimited custom AI actions with your own prompts and SF Symbol icons

**Smart Organization**
– Create collections to organize your clips
– Drag and drop clips between collections — including images and files
– Full-text search to instantly find any clip
– Cmd+F to jump to the search bar

**Quick Access**
– Global hotkey (default: Cmd+Shift+V) to open PastePaw from anywhere
– Double-click any clip to paste it instantly
– Floating panel that never steals focus from your active app
– Keyboard navigation with arrow keys, Enter to paste, Delete to remove

**Multi-Select & Preview**
– Cmd+click to select multiple clips, then paste them all at once
– Press Space to quickly preview any clip with live sync

**Auto-Paste**
– Select any clip and PastePaw types it directly into your previous app — no manual Cmd+V needed

**Privacy First**
– All data stored locally on your Mac — nothing leaves your device
– Sandboxed for maximum security
– Ignore specific apps from clipboard monitoring

What's New

What's New in 2.5.0 Improvements - Reuse a clip and it comes back to the top. Copy or paste anything from PastePaw and it returns to the front of the list, so what you keep using stays where you can reach it. - Collections and History no longer show the same clip twice. A clip you file into a collection now lives only in that collection — History's list and search no longer include it. Nothing is deleted; History is simply what you have not filed yet. - Drag a clip into a collection and it lands first there. Drag it onto History to take it back out. - The copy button closes the popup, the same way pasting does. A pinned vertical popup stays open. - A card's time now tells you when you last used that clip; the preview panel keeps the moment it first arrived. - Vertical layouts: the collection rail is redesigned — the chevron is the pin — and rolled out to every vertical theme. - Vertical rows show a Markdown badge, and full HTML documents show their title instead of raw markup. - Touch ID for secure collections now unlocks inside the popup, and re-arms itself after you move the window. - Folder rows scroll horizontally with the mouse wheel in every theme. - Clear History asks twice and now also removes the image files it was keeping. Bug Fixes - Pasting can no longer type the wrong thing: if the system rejects the clipboard write, PastePaw stops instead of pressing Command-V into whatever was there before. - Remove Duplicates keeps the copy you filed into a collection. - The history limit no longer deletes a clip you had just re-copied. - For AI agents: clips now report when they were last used, and the MCP clip list pages by it.
