SmartPaste is a Windows clipboard manager that detects what you've copied (JSON, colors, URLs, tables, HTML) and offers the right transform the moment you paste. Searchable history, fully local, open source.
š Hey Product Hunt!
I built SmartPaste because I was tired of pasting ugly JSON, raw links, and PDF text full of broken line breaks ā and always having to run it through some other tool to clean it up first.
SmartPaste fixes it at paste time, not before. Copy like you always do (Ctrl+C); when you press Ctrl+Shift+V, it shows you every transform available for whatever's on your clipboard:
šØ CSS colors ā convert between hex/rgb/hsl
š JSON ā format or minify
š URLs ā ready-made Markdown link
š CSV ā Markdown table
š HTML ā clean Markdown (real DOM parser, not regex)
š Text from a PDF ā fixes broken line breaks and hyphenation
More than one recommendation, too ā every applicable transform shows up, and you can search everything you've copied before, right from the same popup.
A few things I cared about getting right:
100% local ā no cloud, no account, no telemetry. The source is public on GitHub, so that's verifiable, not just a claim.
Respects sensitive data copied from password managers like Bitwarden/1Password ā it never ends up in history.
UI available in English, Italian, and Spanish.
Being upfront about scope and licensing: it's Windows-only for now. The source is public under the PolyForm Noncommercial license ā free to read, use, and modify for personal use; commercial use needs a separate license.
