Built for how you actually paste

Five reasons it feels unfair.

Not another Electron tray toy. A native Swift clipboard with the UX of a paid app and none of the cloud tax.

Signature

Horizontal card panel

History as a visual strip, not a text list. Scan screenshots, code, and quotes at a glance. The thing Paste got right, rebuilt offline and yours.

HeyPaste card panel close-up
Flow

Paste stack

Select several clips, then paste them in order with plain ⌘V. Research, then write, without reopening the panel every time.

Search that means it

Exact, fuzzy, regex, or mixed. Find a bank account number, wire reference, or invoice ID from three weeks ago without scrolling a novel.
