What it is

PasteBar is a clipboard manager for saving, organizing, searching, and reusing copied material on macOS and Windows. Its searchable clipboard history is unlimited, and clips can contain text, rich text, images, files, links, and code snippets. Collections, tabs, and boards provide ways to group saved items, while quick-access paste menus make them available for reuse. Users can build clips with customizable form fields and templates for information they enter often. PasteBar can detect and highlight syntax in languages including C, JavaScript, Python, Rust, SQL, and YAML. Its FAQ also describes extracting information from web pages and APIs through web requests and scraping. The maker says history and custom clips remain on the local device, not cloud storage or external servers, and lists lock screen and passcode protection. The homepage calls PasteBar free and open source, with code on GitHub. The Free plan costs nothing and includes unlimited history, clips, boards, and menus; Pro includes unlimited collections and tabs. It supports Apple Silicon and Intel Macs, plus Windows 10 and 11 on Intel, AMD, and ARM processors.
