Reviewers largely see Paste as a dependable clipboard manager they use constantly across Mac, iPhone, and iPad, praising fast search, long history, keyboard shortcuts, plain-text paste, cross-device syncing, and especially Paste Stack for handling batches of text, links, and images. Several say it has become essential to their daily workflow and helps recover lost or overwritten content. The main complaints are about UI clutter or weak aesthetics, occasional bugs, broken search on Mac for some users, limited cleanup and export options, uneven iOS sync, and dislike of the subscription.

I invoke Paste thousands of times each day and it does not let me down. I switched to it from Pastebot in early 2021 and never looked back. It is a fantastic Mac app with support for logical keyboard shortcut conventions for navigating "Pinboards", selecting multiple items, and modifiers for pasting in plain text. Most importantly it does not capture content from secure applications in the "Ignore" list, as not all provide this security natively like 1Password does. It performs really well even with 4 years of "Forever" history.

I have been using Paste for more than 6 years. I am a developer. Each version of Paste brings big improvements, it works completely seamlessley between devices. Paste has saved my bacon on so many occasions where i had deleted / lost / overwritten work accidentally, and i am just able to search for some of the text and i can find it with ease. It is literally a never ending clipboard. Even with the exciting change of the world with this AI revolution, and as someone who writes a lot of code, and is dependant on many tools and platforms - you can cancel my AI subscriptions tomorrow and i would be fine. Paste however - is the app i could never be without. Professionally or personally.

I write help centre guides for a software company. Our articles are available in ten different languages, and we use DeepL for some of the localisation work. That means there is a LOT of copying and pasting, which is much smoother with Paste. I've especially found Paste Stack (activate with Shift + Command + C) to be handy for copying text, images, and links from different pages into Intercom (where the articles are stored). Because it's so affordable (and useful), I've recommended Paste to multiple colleagues. My advice has been "It's so cheap, just charge it to your company credit card. It'll save you a decent amount of time and your finance team won't even notice". So far, so good!

I've tried out Paste and found it overkill for my needs in terms of the UI. The bottom of the screen interface is large and obtrusive and on a large screen like mine makes it difficult to navigate. I've used Clipy for a long time and really love the simplicity of the UI. Would love to see an option for having just a list rather than the large blocks and the ability to have it appear at the top of the screen. For other folks, it may be good, but for me, it just did not fit my workflow.

Hands down one of my most used Mac tools. The latest update has been quite buggy for me though, so hopefully it will be updated soon. My paste stack isn't working properly (pasted items don't drop off, leaving the entire paste stack up until I manually close it) and pastes are not plain text, even though I have "Always paste as Plain Test" selected in the settings. Tried restarting the app, deleting and reinstalling, and restarting my Mac, but the problem remains.

Hey, congrats on the new launch. A little concerning that the search function *still* seems to be broken on Mac which it has been since I reported it (checks email) 3 months ago. To the day in fact.... With search, Paste was *this* close to being a total replacement for TextExpander for me, but without it, the utility has dropped considerably for me. The core is still great, but this seems like a pretty fundamental thing that should work.

Paste just saves your entire clipboard visually. It's easy to find and retrieve old clipboard items. I haven't even tried to dig into its deeper folder/group features which look great, because its basic function is game-changing enough for me, and I use it all the time, it's one of my three: "install immediately on a new Mac" applications.

I recommend this to all my clients and anyone who wants to save time and make more money (because time is money in our work world). This is something I use every day, many times a day. The "paste stack" feature alone is worth the purchase. But there is so much more to love about this app. I've been a user for more than 5 years and this is on my 'can't live without' list! I'm SO grateful for this app!!

I have used a clip board manager for more than 10 years and Paste for the last number of years.. It is a wonderful tool and something I use many, many times per day - in fact the paste app is something I would struggle if I had to live without it.. A must try - love this app.. Well done to the developers...

I switched from Copied to Paste a few years ago, in the paid version, and I couldn't be happier. I find it to be an incredibly simple app to use, but at the same time an app that can simplify your relationship with copy and paste. Productivity benefits incredibly from it. That's why I recommend it to everyone.
