macOS clipboard manager in the menu bar. Keep what you copy in a local history, then pick an item with a global shortcut and paste it back where you were typing.
This is a macOS clipboard history manager, unrelated to the iOS text-cleaning app of the same name.
Requires macOS 26 or later, Apple silicon. Open source under the MIT License. History stays on your Mac - there is no account, no sync, and no network.
brew tap x0c/tap
brew install --cask neatpasteGrab the latest signed and notarized NeatPaste-x.y.z.dmg from the releases page, then drag NeatPaste to /Applications.
NeatPaste checks for updates automatically (via Sparkle); there is also a Check for Updates… item in the menu bar menu.
Requires Xcode 26+ and XcodeGen:
git clone https://github.com/NeatMacApps/NeatPaste.git
cd NeatPaste
xcodegen generate
xcodebuild -project NeatPaste.xcodeproj -scheme NeatPaste -configuration Release \
-destination 'platform=macOS' -derivedDataPath build/DerivedData build
rm -rf /Applications/NeatPaste.app
ditto build/DerivedData/Build/Products/Release/NeatPaste.app /Applications/NeatPaste.app
open /Applications/NeatPaste.appThen click the menu bar icon or press ⌘⌥V.
- Press ⌘+⌥+V (or click the menu bar icon) to open the panel. The newest item is already selected.
- Type to filter. Move with ↑ / ↓. Press Enter to paste into the app you were typing in. Press Space for Quick Look, Esc or click outside to close.
- ⌘+, opens Settings: shortcut, launch at login (off by default), and ignored apps (coming next).
- Automatic paste needs Accessibility permission. Without it, NeatPaste still copies the item to the system clipboard so you can paste with ⌘+V yourself.
- Keyboard-first: open, filter, paste without touching the mouse
- Text and images, thumbnails inline, no format downgrading
- Duplicates merge; the latest copy moves to the top
- History kept for 7 days and survives restarts, stored only on your Mac
- Panel appears next to your text cursor
Pinning, favorites, cloud sync, AI, other platforms, an App Store build, or downgrading rich content to plain text.
