Pastebot

Pastebot is a comprehensive clipboard manager for macOS that extends clipboard functionality far beyond simple copy-paste. The app saves unlimited clipboard history, organizes clips into pinboards, provides paste stacks for sequential pasting, filters clipboard content, and integrates with workflows through automation features - all wrapped in a polished, searchable interface.

Best For: Power users, writers, developers, and anyone who copies multiple items and wants powerful clipboard history, organization, and automation beyond macOS's basic clipboard.

Key Features

How does Pastebot's clipboard history work?
Automatically saves unlimited clipboard history. Search history by content, source app, or date. Rich content support (text, images, files, colors, URLs). Timeline view shows chronological clipboard activity. Filter by content type (images only, URLs only, etc.). Exclude sensitive apps (password managers) from history.

What are Pastebot's pinboards and how do they help?
Organize clips into topic-based collections for projects or categories. Drag clips from history to pinboards for permanent storage. Share pinboards across devices via iCloud. Pin frequently used snippets for instant access. Template pinboards for common workflows. Quick access via keyboard shortcuts.

How do paste stacks improve workflows?
Select multiple clips and create ordered stack for sequential pasting. Each paste removes top item, advancing to next. Great for form filling or repetitive data entry. Preview stack before pasting. Reorder items with drag-and-drop. Save stacks for reuse.

What filtering and transformation features does Pastebot provide?
Apply filters to clips before pasting (remove formatting, fix line breaks, convert case, extract URLs). Sequential filters create complex transformations. JavaScript-based custom filters. Automatic filters based on destination app. Preview filtered output before pasting.
