How do you organize the things you reuse every day on your Mac?

by

While building PasteItAll, I kept coming back to a simple question: where do people keep the small pieces of content they need again and again?

For me, they were scattered across Notes, chats, browser tabs, and Finder folders—email replies, addresses, links, logos, screenshots, and files I send regularly. Clipboard history helps with recent copies, but the things worth keeping usually need context and organization.

That led me to build PasteItAll, a local-first Mac library where you deliberately save text, links, images, and files, organize them by project and tag, and retrieve them through a shortcut, the menu bar, Spotlight, or macOS Services.

PasteItAll launches here on Saturday, and I’d love to learn from your workflow:

• What kinds of content do you reuse most?

• Where do you keep it today?

• What makes finding it frustrating?

• Would deliberate saving feel better than automatic clipboard history for your most important items?

I’ll be around to answer questions and use the feedback to shape what comes next.
