PasteDaemon
A clipboard manager for Mac that automatically transforms what you copy
PasteDaemon keeps every copy you make and automatically cleans tracking from links, pretty-prints JSON, and applies custom filters—all accessible by one
Overview
A look at pastedaemon.app
PasteDaemon is a clipboard manager for macOS that automatically transforms what you copy. Triggers run the moment you copy to clean up tracked links, pretty-print JSON, and handle other transformations without requiring any action from you.
The app stores everything you've copied—text, files, and images—with searchable content from screenshots. You can tag items and add descriptions for easy retrieval. Beyond clipboard history, it offers text editing features like in-place proofreading and translation, snippet abbreviations, and an encrypted vault for secrets.
PasteDaemon supports over 200 built-in actions for dates, JSON, Markdown, pictures and lists. It features a local API and MCP server so Claude, Cursor, or custom scripts can interact with your clipboard. Sync uses your own iCloud with end-to-end encryption, and the app requires no account or telemetry.
