Paste review
A polished Apple-focused clipboard manager with strong search, sync, and team sharing.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Paste is a clipboard manager for Mac, iPhone, and iPad that automatically saves copied text, links, images, and files. It is aimed at individual users, developers, designers, writers, and teams that frequently reuse content across Apple devices. Clipboard history can be searched with filters, items can be edited and renamed, and pinboards organize reusable snippets and templates. Direct pasting into other applications and Paste Stack for sequential pasting make it suited to workflows involving repeated or structured copying.
Its strongest differentiator is the depth of its retrieval and reuse features. Paste searches text inside images, supports unlimited clipboard history on the listed personal plans, and synchronizes content through private iCloud. Pinboards provide a persistent home for templates and snippets, while shared pinboards extend that organization to teams. The product also connects to Claude, Codex, and Cursor through a local Mac MCP server, giving users a way to connect clipboard content with selected AI tools. These features make Paste a strong fit for Apple-based workflows where search, reuse, and collaboration matter more than basic clipboard storage.
Pricing is paid: Personal Monthly costs $2.49 per month, Personal Annual costs $29.99 per year, and Teams Annual costs $26.99 per user per year. Teams adds full clipboard history and search, Mac, iPhone, and iPad access, and shared pinboards. A seven-day trial is available, and the listed Family plan supports up to six people in a Family Sharing group. Paste stores clipboard data on users’ devices and in private iCloud rather than on Paste’s servers. Choose it for a polished Apple ecosystem and team-sharing experience; users needing a free option or broader platform coverage should look elsewhere.
