PasteNote: Clipboard history, temporary cards, and Notes for Mac

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I’m Andy, the maker of PasteNote. I built PasteNote because clipboard tools usually give us two choices: leave something buried in history, or save it permanently. But much of what we copy belongs somewhere in between. A command, address, reply, or code snippet may be useful several times during the current task, without deserving a permanent place in our notes. That’s why I created Handy—a small side panel for temporary text cards. You can move something from clipboard history into Handy, reuse it without searching, and clear it when the task is finished. If it becomes genuinely useful, you can save it as a Note. PasteNote also includes: • Searchable history for text, images, and file references • Floating pins that stay above your work • Reusable Notes • Local suggestions when text keeps coming back • Configurable global keyboard shortcuts • Privacy Mode and storage controls Everything stays locally on your Mac. There’s no account, cloud sync, advertising, analytics SDK, or AI service. PasteNote is a one-time purchase with no subscription or in-app purchases, available for macOS 15.5 and later. I’d especially love your feedback on Handy: does a temporary layer between clipboard history and permanent notes fit the way you work? Thanks for checking it out!
