Supaste is a local-first clipboard and screenshot history app for Mac. Save copied text, links, images, files, code, colors, and screenshots in a beautiful searchable timeline.
Hey
I built Supaste because I kept losing useful things I copied throughout the day — links, screenshots, code snippets, colors, assets, email templates, and random text I needed again 10 minutes later.
Most clipboard managers felt either too plain or too messy for my workflow, so I wanted to make something more visual, fast, and easy to reuse.
Supaste is a local-first clipboard and screenshot history app for macOS. It saves what you copy into a beautiful visual timeline, lets you filter by app or content type, organize clips into custom categories, drag and drop items back into other apps, and paste recent clips instantly with shortcuts.
It’s built for people who copy a lot while working — designers, developers, marketers, founders, sales/support teams, and anyone who wants their Mac to remember what they copied.
A few things I focused on:
• Visual history instead of a plain list
• App and type filters
• Custom categories for projects, templates, and assets
• Quick Paste from anywhere
• Drag and drop from the notch/window
• Local-first, no cloud sync, no analytics
• One-time purchase, no subscription
I’d love to hear your feedback, ideas, and feature requests.
Thanks for checking out Supaste

The local-first no-cloud call is the interesting bet! Is no-sync a privacy stance you're committed to or a v1 scope line you'll cross later with end-to-end encrypted sync? Cheers
Many people already rely on Alfred or Raycast clipboard history—what’s the specific 30-second demo workflow where Supaste clearly outperforms those options, and why is that advantage hard for a launcher to replicate?
and more useful features coming in the next updates

This is one of those tools I can immediately imagine using during a messy building day. When I’m working on product copy, small design details, support replies, screenshots, links, colors, and random snippets, I constantly copy things that I know I’ll need again… and then somehow lose them five minutes later.
I like that Supaste treats clipboard history more visually, not just as a long technical list. The local-first part also matters a lot for this kind of app, because clipboard history can easily include private product stuff, emails, credentials, or unfinished drafts.
The one-time purchase is refreshing too. :))
Curious how you think about search: is it mostly exact text search, or can it also help find things more loosely, like “that screenshot from the dashboard” or “the blue color I copied yesterday”?

also you got my upvote -- it’s a really cool product!
@andrasczeizel Yes, that’s exactly where I want to take search.
Right now Supaste supports helpful search filters/autocomplete, so you can search with things like @Finder app tags, and @image, @text, @link, or @email type tags and more
Looser search like “that dashboard screenshot” or “the blue color from yesterday” is planned too, especially with OCR for images/screenshots and smarter app/type/date filters.
At first, I was like "Ok raycast has solved it already, and now it is native to macos" but when I'm seeing the interface, it looks really nice. I love how you use the dynamic island style.
What if I already have an app that uses the notch? Could I use another UI?
@fberrez1 I’ll add more customization options in the next update. You’ll be able to move the app from the top to the left, right, or bottom, and choose between a full library window or a small quick-paste window anywhere with the Supaste.com app.
I feel like every few years I convince myself I don't need a clipboard manager, and then spend the next week re-copying the same links, snippets, screenshots, and prompts 😅
Love the visual-first approach. Congrats on the launch.
Clean, native-feeling clipboard managers are weirdly rare on macOS, so this is welcome! Congrats on launching. Does history sync across devices, or stay local for privacy?
@oleksii_sekundant local first, privacy, in the next updates I will add iCloud sync, and app for iOS

@soltwagner Thanks for sharing what you've been creating! I'm looking forward to trying this app in my design work.
I'm curious about temporary storage and memory usage. If video files or sets of large images are copied to the clipboard using this app, does the summed size of the files put strain on available memory that would normally not keep more than a single item on the clipboard?
For copied files, videos, or large image sets, it stores the file reference/path and metadata, not the full file data again inside the app. So the files are not unnecessarily duplicated and the summed file size should not sit in memory like multiple full clipboard copies.
For visual items, Supaste may generate lightweight previews/thumbnails, but the goal is to keep memory and storage impact minimal.

@soltwagner Many thanks for this explanation. @Supaste will be saving me a lot of time and frustration!

clipboard managers live or die on how they treat the pasteboard's concealed types — password apps mark items org.nspasteboard.ConcealedType so they don't get logged. do you honor that and skip them automatically? that's the detail that decides whether i trust one.
@qifengzheng Yes, absolutely — Supaste is designed to skip sensitive clipboard content.
It respects concealed pasteboard types such as org.nspasteboard.ConcealedType, so items from password managers should not be saved automatically.
On top of that, Supaste also has sensitive content detection for things that look like API keys, passwords, tokens, private keys, .env content, and similar data. You can also add apps to Ignored App Rules, so anything copied from those apps is never saved at all.

@curiouskitty You can watch demo video here
and lot of more actions coming, image converter, image resize, remove background (demo here https://x.com/soltwagner/status/2063652302020628793), more text actions, bulk copy (demo here https://x.com/soltwagner/status/2063603367214215219), better UI, better UX
and more useful features coming in the next updates

@chaitrali_kakde1 thank you 🙌 and for sure, you need Supaste 🫡 this is not just a clipboard manager
That's a clean take. Is cross-device sync on the roadmap, or is it intentionally local-only?
Supaste
@dhiraj_patel5 at the momant local-first, iCloud sync and iOS app on the roadmap
