All the tools you need. One shortcut away.
Your Mac has an app for everything. That’s the problem. A screenshot tool, a text grabber, a markup app, a calculator, a converter, a link cleaner: another icon, another window, another thing to remember. 1.3 brings them into the one place everything you copy already goes. ⇧⌘2 takes anything off the screen — the picture free, just the words with the full version. Edit Screenshot frames it and hides the private details in one click. With the full version, ⌘K shows what any clip can become, worked out on your Mac. And ⌘N writes the clips you never had anywhere to copy from.
6 new things. 5 of them in the free app.
Anything on screen
Capture
⇧⌘2, drag over anything on screen, and the picture is on your clipboard — or, with the full version, just the words in it.
Press ⇧⌘2 in any app. The screen dims, and PasteMate’s crosshair appears.
Ready to send
Edit Screenshot
Set a screenshot on a background with soft corners and a shadow — and hide the emails and numbers in it with one click.

What a clip can become
Tools
⌘K shows what a clip can become — a sum worked out, a table as Markdown, a link without its tracking, a photo small enough to send.
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.
Write it once
New Clip
⌘N writes a clip you never copied — your address, an IBAN, the reply you send every week — named and ready to paste.
Name it, to find it againWrite something you’ll want to paste again — your address, a booking code, the reply you send every week. ⇧↩ for a new line.

⌘N, and a new clip opens right where it will land.
Escape puts it away with the draft kept. ⌘↩ saves it and pastes it where you were.
The one you meant
The Paste You Meant
A message with a booking code offers just the code, a tracked link a clean one, and an address a way to Maps.
