PastePasteSpace 3.0 - big update - a secure clipboard manager for macOS

Download from App Store

Everything you copy, found in seconds, even the words inside your screenshots. Passwords and card numbers lock themselves behind Touch ID. Nothing leaves your Mac.

Copy the way you always do. PasteSpace remembers it all, and hands any of it back in seconds.

Text, links, images and files: everything you copy lands in a history you can search instantly, stored only on your Mac. Passwords and card numbers are locked behind Touch ID the moment you copy them. And you can find a screenshot just by a word that was in it.

An hour ago, a client emailed you their address. Now you need it. Press ⌥⇧V and PasteSpace opens right under your pointer. Type a word you remember, press Return, then ⌘V. Done, without leaving what you were writing.

FIND ANYTHING YOU COPIED

• Search the text of every item, file names and the app each copy came from. Accents don't matter: “cafe” finds “café”.

• Find a screenshot by the words inside it. Text in images is recognized on your Mac, in up to 30 languages.

• Search inside documents (Pro): PDFs, scanned PDFs, Word, Excel, RTF, OpenDocument, web pages and text files are found by the words they contain.

• Filter by 16 kinds of content and sort nine ways; in Pro, add date, state and source app.

SECRETS LOCK THEMSELVES

Card numbers, IBANs, passwords, API keys, SSH keys and seed phrases are recognized as you copy them and encrypted with AES-256 in the Vault. A locked item shows only a mask (a card reads “•••• 4242”), never appears in search, and opens only with Touch ID or your Mac's password. Copies from password managers go straight into the Vault, and anything else locks with one click.

NOTHING LEAVES YOUR MAC

No account. No cloud. No analytics, no ads, no tracking. Your history lives only on this Mac, inside the macOS App Sandbox, and every feature works offline. The only connection is Apple's App Store, for purchases and the occasional rating request.

PasteSpace never asks for the Accessibility permission, which would let an app watch and control your Mac. It puts your item on the clipboard, brings back your app, and the ⌘V stays yours.

EDIT BEFORE YOU PASTE

Quick Look opens any item in a floating panel with a full rich-text editor: fonts, colors, highlights, lists, undo and redo, and ⌘F to find. Saving never overwrites: every edit becomes a new version next to the original. Fix a word misread in a scanned receipt, then copy just the part you need, formatted or plain.

DATA MAGIC

57 one-click transformations, offered only when they fit what you copied. Pretty-print JSON or turn it into a Swift struct, convert colors, strip tracking from links, turn spreadsheet cells into a Markdown table, add up numbers.

BUILT FOR THE WAY YOU WORK
