CrossPaste for Mac

Product Snapshot

CrossPaste is a macOS utility that extends the system clipboard so you can copy and paste items across multiple devices. It streamlines moving content between a Mac and other connected gadgets, helping you avoid manual transfers and preserve the original formatting of what you copy.

Main capabilities

• Keeps a searchable history of copied items so you can retrieve earlier entries.
• Synchronizes clipboard contents in real time between your Mac and paired devices.
• Lets you transfer not only plain text but also media and documents without losing quality.
• Provides a straightforward interface that keeps clipboard management simple and fast.

What users gain

CrossPaste reduces interruptions to your workflow by removing the need to email or AirDrop items between devices. It’s especially handy for people who bounce between a desktop and a laptop, or who use a phone and tablet alongside their Mac. The app is easy to pick up, and a free version is available for basic use.

Supported item types

• Files and documents (complete transfers that retain original data)
• Images and screenshots (high-fidelity copying)
• Rich content and formatted text
• Plain text snippets
