Hey Product Hunt! Harsha here. 👋
Wanted to introduce you to my little passion project, Pastey! Built because I honestly hate breaking my flow.
Every time I wanted AI to help me fix an email or clean up some text, I had to stop what I was doing, open a new tab, paste my text, wait, copy the result, and go back. It felt like I was working for the AI, not the other way around.
I wanted the intelligence without the prompting and interruption.
So I built Pastey.
It upgrades your clipboard so you don't have to be the middleman anymore. It understands what you copied and adapts it to where you are pasting.
Here is how I use it every day:
📧 Drafting emails: I copy my rough bullet points, hold paste in Gmail, and it writes the full email for me.
🔗 Summarizing: I copy a long URL, hold paste in Slack, and it drops in a perfect summary of the link to share with my colleagues.
✨ Quick fixes: I type "rewrite politely," select the text, and hold paste to transform the text to be more polite.
🔒 Let’s talk Privacy: Your clipboard is personal. Pastey has a local-first architecture. Your context is stored on your device. Plus, smart masking ensures sensitive data you copy (like passwords or PII) is redacted before it ever touches an AI model. You stay in control.
⚠️ Muscle Memory Disclaimer: I know Cmd+V is sacred. Pastey does not touch your normal paste. A quick paste works exactly like it always has. You simply *HOLD* Cmd+V for 1 second to trigger the magic.
I’d love for you to take it for a spin and let me know: Does this actually save you time, or am I just crazy about keyboard shortcuts?
