PastePlop

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

What it does

⌘

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.

📁

Right-click or drag a tile into a category. Snippets, prompts, signatures, lookup links — your re-usable pastes, just a number-key away.

🔍

⌘F focuses the search. Type a few characters, hit return. Whether you copied it ten seconds ago or yesterday afternoon, it's right there.

Text and images. Screenshots, copied PNGs, plain text — all kept, all pasteable.
Number-key category switching. ⌘1 is History, ⌘2–⌘8 are your saved categories. Drag to reorder.
Click outside to dismiss. Hit ⎋ or click anywhere off the overlay and you're back where you were.
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.
Persists between launches. Your history and categories are saved locally — no cloud, no account.
