Pastoid

Pastoid

Latest Release Build Status

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.

Why Pastoid?

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.

Key Features

  • 📋 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.

Quick Paste Panel

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

Privacy by Design

Pastoid stores your clipboard history locally on your machine. No cloud, no account, no tracking. Your data stays yours.

Installation

macOS

  1. Download the .dmg file from the latest release.

  2. Open the .dmg and drag Pastoid into your Applications folder.

  3. If you see the message "Pastoid.app" is damaged and can't be opened, this is due to macOS Gatekeeper blocking unsigned apps. Run this command in Terminal to allow it:

    xattr -cr /Applications/Pastoid.app
  4. Open Pastoid from your Applications folder. You may need to go to System Settings → Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway on the first launch.

Windows

  1. Download the .msi or .exe installer from the latest release.
  2. Run the installer and follow the prompts.

Linux

Download the .AppImage or .deb package from the latest release.

  • AppImage: Make it executable and run it directly.
  • .deb: Install with sudo dpkg -i pastoid_*.deb.
