About Pastery

Pastery is a native macOS clipboard manager with visual history, image search and on-device privacy. Find any copied text, image, link, or file in seconds.


Pastery functions as a built-in macOS clipboard manager which enables users to work with their clipboard through its innovative system. The application creates an organized visual record of all your copied content which lets you quickly locate and access any copied text or images or links or files. Pastery delivers fast native performance through its elegant interface which provides immediate access to your vital content with a single keystroke.

Key Features

  • Complete Clipboard History: Browse every item you've copied in a fast, native overview. You can paste text and images and links and files at any time.

  • Visual Search: Search images by what's inside them using Apple Vision OCR. Users can find screenshots by entering text descriptions which describe the content and colors present in the screenshots without needing to know their storage locations.

  • Background Remover: Cut out the background from any copied image in one click, creating a clean cutout ready to paste into any document.

  • Quick Preview: Press space to view any image, snippet, or link full-size, just like in Finder. No need to open or paste first.

  • Pinboards: Pin important clips with ⌘P so they never expire, and organize them into colorful boards for quick access.

  • Text Transform Tools: Transform text before pasting, strip formatting, change case, or prettify JSON, saving you time and effort.

  • On-Device Privacy: Everything stays on your Mac in a local, encrypted database. Pastery never uploads or syncs your clipboard content.

Who It's For

Pastery is designed for anyone who spends significant time on a Mac and relies on copying and pasting throughout their day. The software provides essential value to developers and designers and writers and researchers and power users because it helps them handle their commonly accessed snippets and screenshots and links. The software functions best for users who want to optimize their work speed through a system which eliminates any confusing clipboard content organization.

Why Pastery Stands Out

Pastery uses a card-based visual interface which enables users to find their copied items through simple scanning instead of displaying standard text lists like regular clipboard managers. The application operates with advanced features which include OCR-based visual search and background removal that extend its basic clipboard capabilities. Pastery operates through native Swift development which produces a lightweight application that delivers swift performance at the same level as built-in macOS tools. User data remains protected because all operations occur on the device without any external communication. The community has supported Pastery since its launch because it functions as an excellent clipboard manager which eliminates workflow obstacles without attracting attention.

Hey everyone 👋 I'm Jannik, the maker of Pastery. I built it because every clipboard manager I tried either felt like a clunky list of text snippets or was a slow Electron wrapper pretending to be native. I wanted something that felt like Apple could have shipped it — instant, smooth, and genuinely nice to look at. So Pastery turns everything you copy — text, screenshots, links, colors, files — into a visual, searchable timeline. Hit ⌘⇧V and it's just there. Search even reads text inside your
