Your Mac has an app for everything. That’s the problem.
All the tools you need. One shortcut away.
Everything you copy. Every tool you need. History, screenshots that keep the words, a toolbox for any clip — one app, one shortcut. Private, instant, native.
Copy any text on this page. The shelf below catches it.

Whatever you keep, these cards are copyable. Try one.

Capture
Screenshots.Finallysmart.
⇧⌘2. Drag. Done. Keep the picture — or just the words.
Press ⇧⌘2 in any app. The screen dims, and PasteMate’s crosshair appears.
The picture is free — an area, a window, the whole screen. The words, QR codes and search inside images (every screenshot you copy, findable by what it says) come with the full version. All of it is read on this Mac, and nothing is sent anywhere.
Edit Screenshot
Ascreenshotstudio.Builtrightin.
Private details? Gone. One click. Then a background, soft corners and a shadow, and it is ready to send.

Free screenshots carry a small PasteMate badge. Remove Badge…
A screenshot, exactly as it was taken.
Free with the essentials, and hiding private details is never paywalled. Free pictures carry a small PasteMate badge; the full version removes it and opens every background.
Search

Start typing. Results narrow with every keystroke.

Intelligence
Chatwithyourclips.
Ask about text, screenshots, and design frames — right where they live, with the AI you set up in Intelligence.

Suggested for this clip
Or skip the list and just ask.
On-device with Apple Intelligence by default; cloud engines are opt-in, with your own API key, and see only the clip you act on.
Tools
Atoolboxinsideyourclipboard.
Do the math. Clean the link. Shrink the photo. Fix the table. Dozens of tools. Zero apps to open.
1,280 * 12 + 340
A sum, worked out — and pasted plain, for a form or a cell.
On this Mac, offline. The original stays as it was; what you use becomes a new clip.
⌘K on any clip. Intelligence is the half with judgement; Tools is the half with a right answer — instant, offline, and the original is never touched. Part of the full version.

NothingleavesyourMac.Ever.
A clipboard is full of secrets: passwords, addresses, the message you almost sent. PasteMate stores it all on-device and collects nothing. Capture looks at the screen only when you ask and reads it on your Mac, and Edit Screenshot hides the emails and numbers in a picture before you send it. Capture Control pauses history while you handle something sensitive, or skips keys and card numbers once you turn its rules on. Intelligence sends only the clip you act on, only when you ask, with your own key. And when iCloud sync arrives soon, it's opt-in and stays inside your own Apple ecosystem: no third-party servers, ever.
100% local
Your history lives in a database on your Mac. No servers, no cloud, no tracking.
AES-256-GCM
Clips under a protected tag are encrypted at rest, with the key held in the system Keychain.
Touch ID
Protected clips stay hidden until you authenticate with Touch ID or your macOS password.

Every tool you need, in one app, for one price. Once.

The short version: pay once, keep everything, nothing leaves your Mac.
Prices checked against each product's own site in October 2026, features in July 2026. Paste also sells a lifetime unlock and syncs through your private iCloud; PastePal, to its credit, also charges once; Maccy is free and open source; Raycast's free plan keeps three months of history. PasteMate's iCloud sync ships soon: opt-in, your own Apple ecosystem, no third-party servers. All fine apps. Only one of them has ⌘I.

One shortcut between you and everything you ever copied.
