Replacements

Listings that take over the same core job as Paste.

  • Maccy

    A small native macOS clipboard history that stays out of the way and drops anything a password manager marks secret.

    Maccy is free and MIT-licensed on macOS with password skipping and ignore rules, but it has no iOS app, no sync and no pinboards.

  • Pastebot

    Mac clipboard manager with paste filters and quick actions.

    PaidProprietarymacOS

    Pastebot is also a paid Mac app, adding paste filters and quick actions, but it runs on macOS only with no iOS sync.

  • CopyQ

    A clipboard manager that keeps everything you copied in searchable tabs, with scripting on top.

    CopyQ is free and GPL-3.0 licensed on Windows, macOS and Linux with tabs, tags and scripting, but it has no iOS app or cloud sync.

  • Clipy

    Keep clipboard history accessible on macOS.

    Clipy is free and MIT-licensed on macOS with reusable snippets, but it lacks an iOS app and cloud sync between devices.

  • 1Clipboard

    Cross-platform clipboard manager that syncs history through Google Drive.

    FreeProprietaryWindowsmacOS

    1Clipboard is free on Windows and macOS and syncs history through Google Drive, but it has no iOS app and no pinboards.

  • ClipboardFusion

    Clipboard manager that syncs, cleans, and macro-processes copied text.

    ClipboardFusion is freemium on Windows and macOS with sync across devices and text macros, but it offers no iOS app and requires payment for full sync.
