## What is Paste?

Paste remembers everything you copy — text, links, images, files — on Mac, iPhone, and iPad. So the thing you copied yesterday, last week, or last month is always one shortcut away.

Trusted for 10 years by designers, developers, writers, lawyers, and support teams. Recognized by Apple as an "invaluable utility."

### 1/5 — can’t even continue

*2026-08-22, version 6.6.8*

I hate the done button after enabling iCloud and again the same screen pops up occasionally it’ll pop up a keyboard sink thing to turn on the keyboard, but does it even do that this is after hitting the done button after enabling iCloud, which the screen repeats multiple times also this app is accessible, which is great for VoiceOver usage

### 2/5 — How do I make paste open to my board?

*2026-08-19, version 6.6.8*

The old version of Paste stayed on my custom folder when I opened it with the keyboard command.

The new version is constantly resetting to the clipboard, and breaking my keystroke habit.

How can I make Paste open to a useful folder of items I created only and ignore the clipboard? The old version did it.

2/5 stars due to this obnoxious change, please fix.

### 5/5 — Easily 5 stars

*2026-08-16, version 6.6.8*

Updated August 26 - still brilliant for Mac and iPhone/iPad users. Brilliant software, except for the syncing failure in Oct 2025. Guys, test before you deploy, thoroughly! Every. Single. Time.

This is an excellent app, offering clipboard persistence and syncing across your Apple devices.

### 4/5 — Love this app

*2026-08-07, version 6.6.6*

I’ve been using this app for over two years and it’s been great.  Recently however, I am not getting the sound notification when copying/pasting data, and many times the data is not copied at all.  Open the buffer and it shows a blank entry.

### 1/5 — greedy, dishonest, incompetent company

*2026-08-05*

they had a simple product that worked great. they kept raising prices in creative ways every year after promising initially that it was a one time pay and since then i have paid them for years for me and my entire family and have recommended it to all my friends and their families. but there’s a limit to even my patience. i just made all my friends CANCEL. during all this usage, i can tell you that this product DOES NOT DESERVE your money nor does this company. their design practices are dishonest, their pricing policy is dishonest, their responses to you in reviews here or in customer emails is dishonest. you don’t trust me? go and read their responses to customer reviews here -- it is not someone who responds to customers with respect. it’s worst than a bot. why should any of us TRUST a company that LIES so much? they can increase the price anytime, break promises anytime and don’t give a hoot about their customers or how they feel. for heaven’s sake it’s a paste app -- why are they charging $90 for a promise we know they will break one day announcing Paste 3 which won’t be any better. i hope someone makes a better app and puts them out of business.

### 1/5 — Much better lower priced options available

*2026-08-04, version 6.6.4*

It’s amazing that the developers at Paste can substantiate a $99 lifetime purchase.  There are far better copy and paste apps with a lifetime purchase of under $20 and $10 that are more configurable.

The other issue is how the developers deceived many original purchasers of Paste by initially offering the app at a single purchase price.  Those of us who bought the app where infuriated when the developers told us we no longer had lifetime access to the app and that it was being turned into a subscription.  Any other software company would have grandfathered in its users.

So, for those of you who shell out the money for a lifetime access, be aware of the past misdeeds done by the developers of Paste.  I would not trust that their lifetime promise will meet your expectations.

### 1/5 — After it being free you make it 90 dollars?

*2026-07-31, version 6.6.2*

I used paste for saved recipes, texts, etc but now when I open it up today it’s locked and they say if I even want to use it at all I have to pay a subscription and if I want to pay it once, $90. Like what? There is no need to make it that expensive let alone cost money AT ALL. Do better, because the only reason you have revenue and income is because it was free plus the paid benefits, if you make it all money no one will want your app.

### 1/5 — Don’t Download…

*2026-07-27, version 6.6.2*

I’m sure the app works fine (If you pay for it) But it’s incredibly difficult to uninstall if you don’t. This app will hold your Paste functionality hostage. App re-opens after terminating in Activity Monitor preventing you from deleting from Applications Folder.

I doubt this practice is allowed by apple.

### 3/5 — Didn’t work.

*2026-07-25, version 6.6.2*

After faffing about, this didn’t work. I have a dodgy iPad from 2020 so Universal Clipboard doesn’t work. So rather than use an open Notes note to just plonk screen grabs in, I gave this a try. Completely useless unfortunately and seemed to want all sorts of settings and so on. After all that, when I pressed tap and hold in Goodnotes to paste something, it seemed to rely on Universal Clipboard rather than Paste. The only way to make it work was going into the Paste app on the iPad to retrieve the item. So I went back to using Notes. All this, because Apple can’t make something so simple work properly

### 1/5 — Crashed, so my computer froze

*2026-07-21, version 6.6.2*

And there is no button to press to force quit. AND , they have a video with sound that automatically starts playing with the update. You people have become too proud and lost your minds. Completely unacceptable. If I want to hear some irate, opinionated lady on video, I can type “Irate, opinionated ——“ into the Youtube search bar any time I want. But I didn’t want. ——s.

It helps speed up your workflow by making previously copied items readily accessible.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 6.6.9 — 2026-08-25

• Touch and hold an item and the preview shows the item's own text, instead of repeating the title.
• Cleaner item cards — the hairline border is gone, and image previews are rounded again.
• The sync indicator stays hidden while you are selecting items.
• Paste now reads App Store introductory offers exactly as they are configured, instead of assuming every offer is a free trial. A discounted first year shows up as a discounted first year at its real price, and buying one no longer produces free-trial wording or a trial reminder.

### 6.6.8 — 2026-08-15

Fixed: the Paste keyboard would not open. Choosing Paste from the keyboard list left you on the standard iOS keyboard instead of your clipboard. It opens as it should again.

### 6.6.7 — 2026-08-14

• Atualizações internas no app e no teclado do Paste.
• Melhorias de estabilidade e desempenho.

### 6.6.6 — 2026-08-07

- Paste stays responsive as your clipboard history grows. It no longer reloads your entire history whenever an item is saved, which also lowers memory use.
- Search no longer goes blank for long stretches. Starting a new search now cancels the previous one instead of waiting on a stalled system index.

### 6.6.4 — 2026-08-05

- The Paste keyboard has new typing modes. Switch between QWERTY, numbers, and symbols, and reach your latest copies from the clipboard strip without leaving the keyboard.
- The Paste keyboard is far less likely to be shut down by iOS. It now uses much less memory when loading items, including images.
- Paste no longer gets stuck relaunching when its history database, or a saved item's data, can't be read. It opens, skips what it can't read, and keeps working.
- The keyboard and widget no longer crash while the shared database is updating. They show a prompt to open Paste instead.
- Search now finds items it used to miss. Paste catches up on indexing older items so search covers your full history.
- An active Paste subscription is now recognized on your other devices, and Restore Purchases brings it back.
- Deleted items stay deleted instead of coming back after a sync.
- Items that used to get stuck and never reach your other devices now heal and sync through.
- Copying the same thing twice no longer creates a duplicate history entry.
- Copied 6-digit codes, like one-time passcodes, stay as text instead of turning into a color swatch.
- Links shared to Paste from other apps are now saved correctly.
- New items show their preview right away instead of "Preview unavailable."
- The icons in the keyboard's bottom toolbar are larger and easier to tap.
- Refined previews, context menus, selection mode, and card shadows across the app.
- Item selection stays correct while your history is syncing.
