Our verdict on Pastin

Pastin is a clipboard manager for iPhone, iPad, and compatible Mac computers. It automatically captures copied content, makes clipboard history searchable, and lets users pin snippets or organize them with folders and tags. Its feature set is aimed at people who repeatedly reuse text, including developers, customer-support agents, writers, translators, and sales teams. Pastin operates offline, does not require an account, and states that clipboard data remains on the device.

The freemium structure gives users a basic starting point through the Free plan, which stores the last 50 clipboard items. Pro Weekly costs $2.99 per user per week, while Pro Monthly costs $6.99 per user per month and Pro Yearly costs $29.99 per user per year. Paid plans add unlimited history, unlimited pinned snippets and folders, widgets, themes, Shortcuts actions, smart format detection, and bulk export. A three-day free trial is also available. The yearly plan lists everything unlimited, making it the clearest option for users who expect regular, long-term use.

Pastin’s strongest platform fit is Apple’s ecosystem: it supports iOS and macOS and integrates with Siri Shortcuts. Widgets provide access from the Home Screen and Lock Screen, while detection tools identify URLs, phone numbers, and addresses. Clipboard history can be exported as plain text or CSV, and saving can be paused temporarily. The main limitation is the lack of cross-device sync, so users looking for shared clipboard history across devices should choose another tool. Pastin is a focused choice for Apple users who value local storage, shortcuts, widgets, and reusable snippets.
