What makes it different

Features you won't find everywhere

A popup that comes to you, workflows for multi-paste and cross-app routing — plus deep customization for how the window behaves on your setup.

Popup design ⌘⌥V to open

Popup Customization

History opens where you are working — near the pointer by default, or pinned to any screen edge. Lock placement, adjust opacity, switch to always-visible mode, and tune control buttons to match how you work.

  • Follow cursor
  • Screen edges

  • Opacity
  • Always visible

Target routing ⌘⌃C

Copy Target

Point your clipboard at a specific app. Copies go where you choose, with clear indicators in the menu bar, status menu, and popup so you always know what is active.

Workflow

Three steps, zero friction

  1. 01

    Copy anything

    Copy text, links, images, and files from any app. Copy Paste History captures in the background — with smart exclusions for password managers and banking apps.

  2. 02

    Open with ⌘⌥V

    The popup appears near your cursor or pinned to your preferred screen edge. Search, click, or use arrow keys — filter by collection either way.

  3. 03

    Paste or transform

    Press Enter to paste, or ⌘↩ for Advanced Paste — case changes, format conversion, image resize, file paths, and more.

Your clipboard stays yours

No cloud sync. No accounts. Clipboard content never leaves your Mac. Optional local analytics track usage patterns only — never what you copied. Screen sharing privacy automatically hides the popup during calls and recordings.
