A clipboard manager that lives on your macOS desktop wallpaper — not in the Dock, not in the menu bar. Always visible, never in the way.
Every other clipboard manager hides behind a menu bar icon or requires a hotkey to summon it. PasteDesk renders directly on your wallpaper like a widget. You glance at your desktop, your clipboard history is right there.
Features:
- Desktop widget — sits below all windows, above the wallpaper. Always on screen
- Smart detection — auto-classifies URLs, code, images, API keys, addresses, tracking numbers, hex colors, plain text
- Date filters — filter by Today / Yesterday / This Week in one click
- Privacy mode — one hotkey blanks all content for screen recordings or screen sharing
- Pin items — keep frequently used snippets at the top permanently
- Global hotkeys — show/hide, toggle privacy (fully customizable, no Accessibility permission required)
- Persists across reboots
- No Dock icon, no menu bar icon — zero UI chrome
