The switcher

Paste anything you copied, without leaving the keyboard.

Pastero keeps ⌘ V working the way it always has. A quick press pastes your latest copy. Keep holding and the switcher opens over the app you're in.

Step 1
Hold ⌘

Press Command and keep it down, as if you were about to paste.
Step 2
Tap V to move

Each tap moves one clip back in time. ⇧V or the arrow keys go the other way.
Step 3
Let go to paste

Release Command and the highlighted clip lands where your cursor is. esc cancels.

The panel

Your whole clipboard, sorted before you go looking.

Open the panel with a shortcut you choose. Every clip lands in a smart section, and search understands plain phrases like “links from github yesterday”.

Notes and tags

Add a note or a few tags to any clip, then find it later with #tag in search.

Edit in place

Fix a typo or trim a snippet right in the panel before you paste it again.

Active and history

Keep the switcher focused on your last 20 clips while hundreds more stay searchable.

Links

Every link you copy comes with a picture of the page.

Pastero opens each link in a private, hidden window and saves a screenshot with the page title. It never uses your cookies or logins. Links are colour-coded by kind, and every site gets its own colour.

Links inside text

Copy a paragraph with three links in it and all three appear in Links on their own.

Save by hand

Paste any address into the Links section to keep it with a preview for later.

Stays private

Previews skip local network addresses and leave no cookies behind.

Images and markup

Screenshots you can find, mark up and keep.

Copied images land in a gallery with fast previews. Capture part of the screen, highlight it and add a note, and the marked-up copy is saved next to the original.

A habit is a choice that we deliberately make at some point, and then stop thinking about, but continue doing, often every day.

Small changes compound when you repeat them in the same place, at the same time, with the same cue. The cue is what makes the habit automatic.

Change the cue and the routine has nowhere to start.

Markup

Pen, highlighter, arrows, shapes and text. Reading a book? Capture the page, highlight the line, add a note.

Smart actions

One key turns a clip into what you actually needed.

Pastero recognises what you copied and offers the conversions that make sense for it. Paste the result, or keep it as a new clip.

Per-app paste rules

The same clip, pasted the right way in every app.

Pastero checks where you're pasting. Terminals get plain text, Slack gets Markdown, Mail keeps rich formatting, and links lose their tracking junk on the way.

Security

Built for the things you shouldn't paste in Slack.

A clipboard sees passwords, tokens and card numbers every day. Pastero spots them, hides them, deletes them on schedule, and keeps them out of anything shared.

Secret guard

API keys, tokens, private keys, card numbers and one-time codes are masked in previews and expire after a few minutes. They never reach a shared board.

Never share secrets

Admins set the policy once for the whole team.

Burn after paste

Send a teammate a password or a key as a one-time clip. It deletes itself from the server the moment they paste it.

End-to-end encrypted

Shared clips are encrypted on your Mac with AES-256-GCM before they leave it. The server only ever sees ciphertext.

Keys live in your Mac's Keychain. They are never derived from MAC addresses or anything else visible on a network.

Teams and families

Share a clip with the right people in one click.

Create roles like Dev, Support or Sales in your account, then share a clip to a role from the panel. Clips sync automatically, or on demand with the sync button.

Role starter boards

A team lead picks a board and everyone in that role gets ready-made snippets with blanks to fill in.

Nearby sharing

Mac to Windows on the same Wi-Fi. No cloud, no account.

Send a clip to a PC or another Mac in the room. Pair once by checking a six-digit code on both screens, and everything after that is encrypted end to end.

Privacy

Your clipboard stays yours.

Local first

History lives on your Mac. Nothing is uploaded unless you share it.

Password managers respected

Copies marked private by 1Password, Bitwarden and others are never recorded.

Ignore any app

Add apps to the ignore list and Pastero looks away while they're in front.

No ads, no tracking

Pastero is paid for by licences, not by what you copy.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

How do licences and devices work?

After you buy, you get a 16-character licence key that looks like XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX. Enter it in Pastero's settings and the Mac registers as one of your devices. You can free a device slot from your account at any time, for example when you replace a computer.

What does one-time mean?

Solo and Family are paid once, with no subscription. The licence doesn't expire. Team plans are billed monthly or yearly because they include cloud storage for shared clips.

How does end-to-end encryption work?

Each device creates its own key pair and keeps the private key in the Keychain. Your team shares a key that is wrapped separately for every member's device, so the server can store and pass along shared clips without being able to read them.

Does Pastero work offline?

Yes. History, search, smart actions, markup and nearby sharing all work without an internet connection. A paid licence is re-checked in the background and keeps working for 14 days offline.

Can I get a refund?

Yes. If Pastero isn't right for you, contact us within 14 days of your purchase.

Is there a Windows version?

The free Windows companion app sends and receives clips with Pastero on a Mac over your local network, with no account needed. Full clipboard history is on macOS.
