Sound familiar?
A clipboard manager is a small, essential utility. Somewhere along the way, the popular ones decided it should bill you like a streaming service.

Paste cost $14.99/year in 2022. Today it's $29.99/year — double — and the roadmap moved on to Teams features. Subscriptions renew whether the app got better for you or not.
$150
Five years of a $29.99/year subscription is ~$150. Raycast's unlimited clipboard history sits behind a $10/month plan. Even the famous one-time app now costs $39 plus $19/year for updates. PasteMyClip is $9.99 for two Macs, or $14.99 for five. Once.

Subscriptions get justified by cloud infrastructure. We run none. Your history lives on your Mac and syncs through your own iCloud — so there's no server bill to pass on to you, ever.
People loved these apps — then watched them switch to subscriptions and went looking for the exit. Entire forum threads exist asking how to replace them. PasteMyClip is where that search ends: the shelf you love, without the landlord. All prices on this page were verified on the vendors' own pricing pages on August 10, 2026.
Features
Hit ⇧⌘V and your history slides up as visual cards — text, links, images, files — with the source app and time on every card.
Arrow keys + Enter pastes straight into the app you were using. The shelf never steals your focus, and instant search keeps your hands on the keyboard.
Create colored labels and drag cards onto them. Pin anything you reuse. Filter by type — text, links, images, files — with one click.
Your history follows you across your Macs via your own private iCloud account. We never see it — there is no PasteMyClip cloud.
Passwords from 1Password, Bitwarden, and Apple Passwords are never recorded — we honor the concealed-clipboard standard. Pause capturing anytime. No account, no analytics, no tracking.
Native Liquid Glass design, not a port with a new coat of paint. Runs great back to macOS 14 too. No Electron, no bloat — a real Mac app.

Competitor prices checked August 10, 2026 on each vendor's pricing page. Raycast's range spans annual ($8/mo) to monthly ($10/mo) billing. Maccy is excellent and free — if a plain menu list is all you need, use it! PasteMyClip is for people who want the visual shelf, labels, and sync without the subscription.
How It Works
Drag to Applications. It lives quietly in your menu bar and remembers everything you copy.
The shelf slides up over whatever you're doing. Type to search, or arrow through your cards.
It pastes straight into the app you were in. No window juggling, no extra ⌘V.
FAQ
Really. $9.99 once for 2 Macs ($14.99 for up to 5), with free updates. We run zero servers, so there's no recurring cost for us to pass on to you.
On your Mac, in the app's sandboxed storage. If you enable sync, it mirrors through your own private iCloud account between your Macs. It never touches a PasteMyClip server, because there aren't any.
Content that password managers mark as concealed (1Password, Bitwarden, Apple Passwords, and anything following the standard) is never recorded. You can also pause capturing entirely from the shelf menu.
No — PasteMyClip is Mac-only, on purpose. Building and maintaining an iOS companion is a big part of why other clipboard managers charge yearly. If you need iPhone sync, Paste is genuinely good at that; you'll just pay $29.99 every year for it.
macOS 14 (Sonoma) and later. On macOS 26 (Tahoe) you get the full Liquid Glass design; on earlier versions the shelf uses native materials.
Try it first: the download is free for 14 days, no card needed. When the trial ends, PasteMyClip keeps saving your history, and a license unlocks pasting from it again. If you buy and change your mind, email us within 14 days for a full refund, no questions asked. See the refund policy.
One year of the subscription apps costs twice what PasteMyClip costs forever.
