Pastoid is a lightweight, fast clipboard manager for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Built with Tauri and React, it runs quietly in the background and keeps your clipboard history always within reach.
Pastoid keeps your clipboard history at your fingertips — a configurable number of recent items, ready to search and paste in an instant. Whether it's a code block, a URL or a piece of text you copied hours ago — Pastoid keeps it accessible.
- 📋 Automatic History — Everything you copy is recorded in the background without any extra steps.
- 📌 Pin Important Items — Keep frequently used snippets at the top of your list for instant access.
- 🔍 Instant Search — Find any copied item in seconds with real-time search as you type.
- 🌙 Theme Support — Choose between Light, Dark, or follow your system automatically.
- 🌍 Bilingual — Full support for both English and Chinese interfaces.
- 🚀 Start with System — Optional auto-start so Pastoid is always ready when you are.
- ⌨️ Keyboard-First — Open the quick paste panel with a global shortcut, navigate with arrow keys, and paste without touching your mouse.
- ⚙️ Configurable Limits — Set how many items to keep (1–100) to balance history depth and performance.
Press your configured shortcut (default: Cmd+Shift+V) anywhere to instantly summon the quick paste panel. It appears over any app — even full-screen games or videos — so you can paste without breaking your flow.
Inside the panel:
- ↑↓ to navigate
- ↵ to paste
- ⌘P to pin or unpin
- ⌘⌫ to delete an item
- ⌘⇧X to clear all history
- Esc to close
Pastoid stores your clipboard history locally on your machine. No cloud, no account, no tracking. Your data stays yours.
