In their own words
Pasteable
Pasteable saves copied text, rich text, HTML, images, files, URLs, and code in a searchable clipboard history. It offers full-text and on-device semantic search, including searches for images by description. Smart collections sort clips into groups such as Photos, Code, Links, Files, and Design; users can also create collections with custom rules. On desktop, ⌘/Ctrl+Shift+V opens a keyboard-driven overlay, and system-wide snippets can expand saved clips. Clip history is stored locally in SQLite, works offline without an account, and is encrypted at rest with an operating-system-sealed key. The maker says synced clips are encrypted on the device and its servers store only ciphertext. The free plan includes unlimited local history and 25 synced clips. Pasteable Pro costs $6 a month or $60 a year; Lifetime costs $80.00 USD one-time. The site lists macOS 11+, Windows 10 and 11, and 64-bit Linux, and says iOS and Android apps are in App Store and Play Store review.
Relic
Relic is a clipboard manager that captures copied items on desktop and syncs them across devices. On phones, users must share items to Relic or use a shortcut or tile. Search can use text, meaning, date phrases and text extracted from screenshots. Tagging, OCR, image captioning and semantic search run on the user's device, without cloud AI. Vault items can be titled, tagged, annotated, saved and given reminders. A command-line tool can read and search a vault, and the help guide describes connecting AI agents to search, save and retrieve items. Relic encrypts content on-device with XChaCha20-Poly1305 and derives the wrapping key using Argon2id; the server stores encrypted content. The maker says it cannot read content, titles, notes or tags, while collecting service metadata such as account email and item counts. The apps, sync server, encryption code and self-host stack are open source. Self-hosting is free under AGPL-3.0. The hosted Free plan supports three synced devices and 250 MB; Pro is $5 a month billed yearly, or $7 month to month.
