iPaste for Mac

Quick summary of iPaste

iPaste is a low-profile clipboard manager that groups copied items into organized clip collections. It runs unobtrusively, letting you store and retrieve snippets without cluttering your workspace.

How clip collections are created

• Use the plus and minus controls at the bottom of the window to make new clip collections or delete ones you no longer need.
• Create named sets for different tasks (for example: research, code snippets, or image assets) so related clips stay together.
• Add or remove items from a set in seconds to keep your clipboard content relevant.

Supported clipboard content

• iPaste can store a wide variety of clipboard data — plain text, screenshots and images, audio/video files, and PDFs.
• Anything you normally copy to the system clipboard can be captured and assigned to a clip set.

Display options and preferred placement

• There are two ways to view iPaste: a compact menu-bar panel and a Dock-based window. The menu-bar view is discreet but limited in space.
• Keeping iPaste visible in the Dock makes it easier to inspect and paste newly captured items quickly.

Speed features: hotkeys and quick access

• The app includes keyboard shortcuts for near-instant pasting: press CTRL + Option + a number key to jump to a specific clip and paste it.
• A drop-down menu lists hotkey targets so you can bring selected clippings to the foreground immediately.

Zoom and preview tools

• A subtle slider lets you zoom into clipped items for a closer look before pasting.
• Previewing content helps avoid accidental pastes and confirms you’ve selected the right item.

Clip history and recovery

• iPaste keeps a timeline of recent clipboard activity so you can revisit earlier items and recover content you copied minutes or hours ago.
