The problem
You copied it an hour ago. Now it's gone.
A phone number, then a link, then a paragraph from a document. When you need the phone number again, it's buried under everything you copied since, so you go digging through emails, tabs and messages to find it again.
PasteSpace remembers what you copy, so you don't have to.
1Press ⌥⇧V. PasteSpace opens right under your pointer.
2Type a word you remember, like Bucharest.
3Press Return, then ⌘V in your app.
✓Done, without leaving what you were writing.
Why PasteSpace
A clipboard history you can trust with anything.
Most clipboard managers remember what you copy. PasteSpace also knows what's sensitive, reads what's inside your images and documents, and never sends any of it anywhere.
Secrets lock themselves
Passwords, card numbers, IBANs and API keys are recognized the moment you copy them and encrypted behind Touch ID.
Find anything by what's inside it
Search the words in your screenshots and, with Pro, inside your PDFs, Word and Excel files, scanned pages too.
Nothing leaves your Mac
No account, no cloud, no analytics. Every feature works offline, text recognition included.
Vault
Your secrets lock themselves.
PasteSpace recognizes what's sensitive the moment you copy it and encrypts it on your Mac. There's nothing to remember and nothing to set up.
- Recognized as you copy. Card numbers (checksum-verified), IBANs, passwords, API keys, SSH keys and seed phrases.
- Encrypted with AES-256. Revealed only with Touch ID or your Mac's password.
- Invisible, even to search. A locked item shows only a mask, like •••• 4242, and no search can find it, so nobody can confirm a secret by guessing.
- Password managers welcome. Their copies go straight into the Vault, and anything else locks with one click.
How the Vault protects your data, and what it doesn't protect you from.
Text in images
Find a screenshot by a word inside it.
Every image you copy is read on your Mac, in up to 30 languages. Search for a word that was on the receipt, the slide or the error message, and there it is. Copy just the text, or fix a misread word and save it.
Text recognition runs in a separate sandboxed helper with no network or file access of its own. How text recognition works
Text inside documents PRO
Search inside the files you copied.
Copy a PDF, a Word file or an Excel workbook in Finder, and PasteSpace reads it. A search finds the file that holds your words, scanned PDFs included, and Quick Look highlights every match.
PDFScanned PDFWordExcelRTFOpenDocumentWeb pagesText and code files
Search, filters and sorting
Thousands of copies, one search away.
Search the text of every item, file names and the app each copy came from. Accents don't matter: “cafe” finds “café”. Filter by 16 kinds of content, from passwords and IBANs to documents and code, and sort nine ways.
Pro adds filters by date, state and source app, combined however you like.
Quick Look editor
Edit before you paste. Keep the original.
Open any item in a floating panel with a full rich-text editor: fonts, colors, highlights, lists, undo and redo, and ⌘F to find. Saving never overwrites. Each edit becomes a new version, and the original stays exactly as you copied it.
- Switch between Original and every edited version.
- Copy it formatted or as plain text, whole or just the part you selected.
Data Magic
57 one-click transformations.
PasteSpace offers only the ones that fit what you copied. A JSON response gets formatting and a Swift struct, a color gets conversions, a link with tracking gets it removed.

Works offlineSearch, text recognition, documents, Data Magic and the Vault.
It never asks to control your Mac.
PasteSpace doesn't use the Accessibility permission, which would let an app watch and control everything you do. It puts your item on the clipboard, brings back the app you were in, and steps aside. The ⌘V stays yours.
This website doesn't track you either: no cookies, no analytics, nothing loaded from anyone else's servers.

For your business
PasteSpace Business, for every Mac in your team.
Apple doesn't let organizations buy in-app purchases in volume, so PasteSpace comes in a second edition made for them: every Pro feature for one price, with no in-app purchases, no upgrade prompts and no rating requests.
- Bought and deployed like your other apps. Buy licenses in volume in Apple Business Manager or Apple School Manager, and send the app to your Macs with your device management.
- Nothing leaves the Mac. It reports nothing to us or to your organization, and makes no network connection of its own.
- Its own app, its own data. It can sit beside PasteSpace on the same Mac without either touching the other.

Questions
Questions people ask.
Is there a clipboard manager for Mac that encrypts passwords?
Yes. PasteSpace recognizes passwords, card numbers, IBANs, API keys and other secrets the moment you copy them and encrypts each one with AES-256 in its Vault. They're shown masked and unlocked only with Touch ID or your Mac's password, and search can't see inside them.
Does it really work completely offline?
Yes. Your history stays only on your Mac, with no account, no sync and no cloud, and every feature, including text recognition and document search, works offline. PasteSpace uploads nothing. Its only connection is Apple's App Store, for purchases and the occasional rating request.
Is there a subscription?
No. PasteSpace is free to use, and Pro is a single $19.99 payment that's yours for life, future updates included.
Can it find a screenshot by the text in it?
Yes. PasteSpace reads the text in every image you copy, in up to 30 languages depending on your version of macOS, so searching for a word that was in a screenshot finds it.
Can I search inside the PDFs and Word documents I've copied?
With Pro, yes. PasteSpace reads the text of the documents you copy in Finder, scanned PDFs included, so a search finds the file that contains the words.
Why do I have to press ⌘V myself?
Pasting for you would require the macOS Accessibility permission, which lets an app observe and control everything on your Mac. PasteSpace is built never to need it: choosing an item puts it on the clipboard and brings back the app you were in, so all that's left is ⌘V.
Does PasteSpace sync with my iPhone or iPad?
No. Your history stays on the Mac where you copied it. That's what lets PasteSpace promise it never leaves your device.
Can my company buy PasteSpace for all its Macs?
Yes, as PasteSpace Business: every Pro feature for one price, with no in-app purchases. Your organization buys licenses in volume in Apple Business Manager's Apps and Books, or on the Mac App Store, and deploys them with its device management.
Which Macs does it run on?
Any Mac with macOS 14 Sonoma or later, Apple silicon or Intel. Touch ID is recommended for the Vault; your Mac's login password works on every Mac.
Copy anything. Find everything.
Keep your secrets.
Free on the Mac App Store. Pro is $19.99, once.
