PastePal is a universal clipboard manager for Mac, iPhone, and iPad. It preserves copied text, links, images, files, rich content, and other supported items so that a later copy does not erase the material you were still planning to use.

Open its flexible side bar from a shortcut or the menu bar, search for the prior item, and paste it back into the app where it belongs. Collections, source-app information, previews, and a temporary Paste Stack help turn an accidental history into a reusable working library.

PastePal stores data locally and can sync through iCloud, with controls for sensitive content and ignored apps. Clipboard history can contain passwords and private material, so those controls should be configured before treating the history as a default record of everything copied.

Features

Maintain an unlimited, searchable clipboard history with content-type, source-app, date, collection, and character-count information.
Position the flexible bar on any screen edge and control it with custom keyboard shortcuts or a menu-bar command.
Preview images, links, PDFs, raw text, and rich text, and drag files or captured screenshots directly from history.
Collect multiple items in Paste Stack and paste them sequentially or together when a workflow needs more than one clip.
Sync supported history and collections through iCloud, or use Peer Share between PastePal apps on the local network.
Pause clipboard observation, set retention, ignore selected apps or folders, and control whether passwords or sensitive data are saved.

Where it fits

PastePal fits someone who copies many reusable fragments across Apple devices and wants a visually rich, configurable history. It is especially useful for writing, design, research, support, and file-handling workflows.

It needs careful privacy setup because a clipboard can capture secrets. Users who want only a small, Mac-only text history may prefer a simpler clipboard utility.
