PasteDesk
A visual clipboard manager that lives on your macOS desktop.
PasteDesk is a macOS clipboard manager that lives directly on your desktop wallpaper — not in the Dock or menu bar. I made it last year because I wanted clipboard history to be glanceable without opening another popup. It auto-classifies URLs, code, images, API keys, folders, files, zip archives, tracking numbers, colors, addresses, and plain text, with date filters, pinned items, privacy mode, global hotkeys, and Homebrew install.
Hey Product Hunt,
I made PasteDesk last year because I wanted a clipboard manager that was always visible, without living in the Dock, menu bar, or another popup window.
PasteDesk renders directly on your macOS desktop wallpaper, so your clipboard history is glanceable whenever you return to the desktop. It sits below your windows and above the wallpaper, like a desktop widget.
It auto-classifies copied content like URLs, code, images, API keys, folders, files, zip archives, tracking numbers, colors, addresses, and plain text.
It also includes date filters, pinned items, global hotkeys, privacy mode for screen sharing, and persistence across reboots.
You can install it with Homebrew:
brew install --cask NurikDz/apps/pastedesk
I’d love feedback from Mac users, developers, designers, and anyone who lives in their clipboard all day.
