Paste Switch is a Mac clipboard tool that turns repeated paste work into a speed advantage: paste the latest clip, press the same shortcut again to switch in place, and keep typing while others are still opening history.

Hey Product Hunt,
I built Paste Switch around a small workflow that happens many times a day: pasting something you copied earlier.
Most clipboard tools make you stop, open history, scan rows, pick an item, and return to what you were writing. Paste Switch takes a different approach: paste first, then switch in place.
Press Cmd + Shift + V to paste the latest clip. If it is not the one you want, press V again while holding Cmd + Shift, and Paste Switch replaces it with another recent clip right at the cursor.
The goal is not just fewer clicks. It is to protect your attention and turn a tiny repeated action into a speed advantage. When you paste, switch, and keep typing without breaking flow, you move faster through the work than people still managing clipboard history by hand.
It currently supports recent text and PNG/TIFF image clips on macOS. History stays local and in memory, and clears when the app quits.
In the right scenarios, “paste first, switch in place” is simply more efficient. If you already use a similar tool, try it as a speed upgrade. If you have not used one yet, start here and feel how fast pasting can be！
how does it actually decide what to switch to when you press the shortcut again, especially if you've copied a few things in quick succession

@rem0gga It uses a simple “most recent first” order. The first Cmd+Shift+V pastes the newest thing you copied. If you press it again right away, Paste Switch replaces that pasted text with the previous clip, then the one before that, and so on. If you copy something new, that becomes the new first option. I’d really love for you to take a closer look and share any suggestions after trying it!
The cycling shortcut idea is genuinely handy, especially when I am jumping between snippets while drafting a doc. Felt faster than digging through my usual clipboard history.

@toprak4irg Thanks for checking it out. I’m glad it helped, and I’d love to hear any further thoughts or usage suggestions as you use it more. That would mean a lot.
The in-place cycling is genuinely satisfying, especially when pulling snippets into a long doc without breaking my flow to open a history panel. Wish more clipboard tools took this shortcut-first approach.
