PasteSpace is a secure clipboard manager for macOS that remembers everything you copy — so you don't have to. Living quietly in your menu bar, PasteSpace captures every piece of text, image, and file you copy, turning your clipboard into a fast, searchable history. Press Option+Shift+V from any app, type a few letters, and click the item — it's instantly copied and ready to paste. No more digging through browser history or reopening documents to find something you copied an hour ago. PRIVATE BY DESIGN — ZERO DATA COLLECTION Your clipboard is personal. PasteSpace keeps it that way: · No analytics, no telemetry, no tracking · No cloud, no sync, no remote servers · No account, no login, no email required · No third-party SDKs, no ad networks Everything stays on your Mac, inside the macOS App Sandbox. GDPR and CCPA compliant by design — there's simply nothing to collect. FEATURES SEARCHABLE CLIPBOARD HISTORY You can search the item history to identify a specific item of interest from the clipboard. Keywords present in the text content, file names or images containing text are identified. Formatted text is captured exactly as it appeared in the source app — fonts, sizes, colors, bold, italic — and pasted with the same fidelity. Use "Always copy as plain text" or "Always paste as plain text" to strip formatting globally, or use the dedicated plain-text paste buttons for a one-off clean paste. PINNED ITEMS Pin your most-used snippets to the top. See which app each item came from. VAULT MODE — HARDWARE-BACKED ENCRYPTION (Pro) PasteSpace auto-detects sensitive data and encrypts it on the spot with AES-256-GCM via Apple CryptoKit. Keys live in the macOS Keychain, hardware-backed by the Secure Enclave on Apple Silicon. Reveal items with Touch ID or device password. Auto-detected: credit cards, IBANs, API keys, tokens, JWTs, SSH keys, OTPs, passwords, high-entropy secrets. OCR — SEARCH TEXT INSIDE IMAGES (Pro) Copy a screenshot and PasteSpace extracts the text using Apple's Vision framework. Find images by typing words that appear inside them. Fully local — no uploads. DATA MAGIC — INSTANT TRANSFORMATIONS (Pro) 30+ one-tap tools: JSON/XML/YAML pretty-print and conversion, Base64, URL encode/decode, HEX↔RGB↔HSL, timestamps, table to Markdown/JSON/CSV, case conversion, HTML↔Markdown, word count, and more. QUICK LOOK — FULL TEXT EDITOR Open any item in a floating panel to preview or edit. A full set of rich formatting controls lets you change font, size, bold, italic, underline, color, highlight, alignment, and lists. Unedited characters are preserved as plain text — they adapt to the destination app's own font and color when pasted. Save edits back to history or copy immediately. Vault items open only after Touch ID authentication and auto-mask when the panel closes. QR CODE GENERATOR One tap turns any copied text, URL, or contact detail into a scannable QR code — generated on your device, offline. DRAG & DROP Drag text, images, files, and groups of files directly from your history into any app. Files land as real files, not shortcuts. Vault items authenticate before delivery. APP BLOCKLIST Exclude specific apps from being captured. Password managers are blocked by default. EPHEMERAL MODE (Pro) Auto-wipe non-Vault history when PasteSpace quits or when macOS restarts. Vault and pinned items are always preserved. FREE vs. PRO FREE: 10 history items, 3 pins, 2 Vault items, latest-item OCR/Data Magic/Quick Look/QR code, 1 blocklist app. No trials. No nags. PRO ($19.99, lifetime): Unlimited everything + Vault auto-detection + Ephemeral Mode. REQUIREMENTS macOS 14 Sonoma or later (including macOS 27) · Intel or Apple Silicon · Touch ID recommended for Vault (device password works on all Macs) Questions? mariuscpopescu@icloud.com — every message gets a reply. Made with care for people who copy a lot.

Finally a clipboard manager that doesn't try to upsell me or sync my snippets to some random server. The drag and drop straight from history feels super native and the local OCR is a nice touch for grabbing text from screenshots.

Finally a clipboard manager that stays on my Mac and doesn't push a subscription at me. The local OCR on copied screenshots is genuinely fast and the encrypted Vault is a nice touch for API keys.
