Paste 7 - Intelligent clipboard that knows what you're about to paste
by•
Intelligent Clipboard is new in Paste, the productivity app that remembers everything you copy. Paste now suggests which of your copied items you'll most likely paste next, based on what you're working on. Powered by Apple Intelligence, privately on your Mac.

Hey there,
Paste helps people keep, search, and organize everything they copy across Mac, iPhone, and iPad. Today we're launching Intelligent Clipboard - Paste can now suggest which of your copied items you'll most likely paste next, based on what you're working on, right on your Mac.
Everything you copy has a moment when it's needed again. Finding the right item at that moment was still your job. Now, when you switch to Suggestions, Paste looks at what you're working on and brings the likely items forward. You can go back to your full clipboard history anytime.A few things we cared about:It runs on your Mac. Intelligent
Clipboard is powered by Apple Intelligence, and everything stays on your Mac. It suggests, it doesn't decide. You still choose what to paste. It's available on macOS 26 and later with Apple Intelligence enabled.
Big thanks to @chrismessina for hunting Paste again ❤️
We'd love to hear what Paste got right for you first, and what you'd want it to understand next. Thanks for checking it out!
Great idea!
Is there a way to activate it via a keyboard shortcut, or is it mouse only?
Everything on the mac instead of sending copied text to the cloud is also a plus for privacy.
One question: does it slow down the mac or use more battery when hundreds of copied items are saved?
@tahir21 there are no known cases yet. It uses Apple built-in models, which are optimized for the device hardware
That's a really awesome idea - I'll have to give it a try.
Good luck with the launch today!
@maria_anosova thank you!
Congrats on the fresh update!
Daily user of Paste. Super excited to use the new AI features.
One my fav apps just got better! Using Paste all the time, really looking forward to see how you guys handle AI on device. Thanks!
13th launch and still finding new stuff to ship, that's rare. question on the suggestion model: does it learn per-app patterns, like always suggesting the address when I'm in a shipping form versus a code snippet when I'm in a terminal, or is it more generic recency-based ranking across everything you've copied?
@galdayan thanks! no ranking for now. It's on the reasoning but we're looking into how users will use it and will tune the mechanics over time
@dobk that's a reasonable place to start, honestly. reasoning-based context beats a hardcoded per-app ranking table anyway since it can adapt to edge cases you didn't anticipate. curious if you'll surface any of that reasoning to the user eventually, like a quiet "why this suggestion" hint, or keep it invisible.
This is a really smart addition to Paste. Having it predict what you’re likely to paste next could make everyday work much faster and more seamless, especially when you’re constantly switching between apps.
