Hey everyone 👋

I’m the developer of PasteNext, a macOS clipboard manager I’ve been building around one idea: clipboard history should be easy to search, not something you have to scroll through forever.

The main feature is Smart Search.

Instead of remembering exact keywords, you can search your clipboard history with natural language, for example:

- “the command I copied yesterday”

- “that link from Chrome last week”

- “the code snippet from Xcode”

- “the image that mentioned onboarding”

- “the file I copied from Finder this morning”

PasteNext can search by content, source app, time, content type, and even text inside images.

It also supports:

- Text and rich text

- Code snippets

- Images

- Files and folders

- Quick previews

- Local-first clipboard history

- Auto Pinboard suggestions based on the app you’re using

I attached a short video demo of Smart Search so you can see how it works in practice.

PasteNext is free to try on the Mac App Store. The free version keeps 100 clipboard history items, and Pro unlocks unlimited history.

App Store:

I’d love feedback from people who use clipboard managers heavily, especially developers, writers, students, and Mac productivity folks.

If you try it, I’d be very curious:

What would you expect from a “smart” clipboard manager?

Hey everyone, I’m the developer of PasteNext.

I built it because my clipboard history was getting useful but hard to search. Most clipboard managers are great when you remember the exact keyword, but I often only remember the context:

- “the command I copied yesterday”

- “that link from Chrome last week”

- “the code snippet from Xcode”

- “the image that mentioned natural language search”

So the main feature in PasteNext is SmartSearch: you can search clipboard history in natural language, combining clues like source app, time, content type, and text inside images.

PasteNext supports:

- Text, rich text, and code snippets

- Images

- Files and folders

- Local-first clipboard history

- Auto Pinboard suggestions based on the app you’re working in

- Free version with 100 history items

- Pro monthly or lifetime for unlimited history

It’s now available on the Mac App Store:

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pastenext/id6770293306?mt=12

I’d love feedback from people who use clipboard managers heavily, especially developers, writers, and Mac productivity folks. I’m still improving the search experience and real workflow details.
