PastePlop

Your clipboard, but a grid. Hit a keyboard shortcut, see everything you've ever copied, file the keepers into categories, paste with a click.

• One hotkey, everything you've copied: A translucent grid zooms in over whatever you're doing. Text and images, newest first. Click a tile and it pastes back into the app you came from.
• Categories that stick around: Right-click or drag a tile into a category. Snippets, prompts, signatures, lookup links — your re-usable pastes, just a number-key away.
• MiniPlop — your floating scratch tray: Pop out a small always-on-top tray. Drop in tiles, files, text clippings, images, or links. Click to paste, drag back out into any app.
• Text, images, and files. Screenshots, copied PNGs, plain text, and files copied from Finder — all kept, all pasteable. File cards drag back out into any app that takes files.
• Multi-paste. Select several tiles with shift- or ?-click and paste them all in sequence — perfect for filling out forms or stitching snippets together.
• Number-key category switching. ?1 is History, ?2–?8 are your saved categories. Drag to reorder.
• Auto-restore the clipboard. After you paste, your previous clipboard contents come back.
• Featherweight and native. Pure SwiftUI + AppKit. Tiny binary, instant launch, no background services beyond the clipboard watcher.
• Find it in two strokes. ?F focuses the search. Type a few characters, hit return. Whether you copied it ten seconds ago or yesterday afternoon, it's right there.
• Search inside images. Screenshots get OCR'd locally via Vision so the search query matches what's visible in your image history.
