Download PasteNow (Mac) – Download & Review Free

Given how often we switch between our desktop and mobile devices on a daily basis, a unified, synchronized clipboard seems like a great idea.

PasteNow offers just that, and more. Not only will you be able to seamlessly access clipboard content on both your Mac and iPhone/iPad, via iCloud, but you’ll have a much better experience on macOS as well. Save everything you’ve copied to the clipboard, organize items into lists, quickly paste via hotkeys, and more.

Synchronize text, images, links, and code snippets

One of the main benefits of using PasteNow is that you’ll be able to access the same clipboard on your Mac and iPhone. Found something interesting? Just copy it on either device, and it will be instantly accessible on the other.

Even the interface is similar on both desktop and mobile, so you’ll find it easy to switch between them. Thankfully, a single purchase will allow you to use the app on all your devices.

Easy to use, and made easier with hotkeys

Once the app is running, any supported content that is copied to the clipboard will automatically be saved and synchronized. You’ll be able to access it at any time from the menu bar.

To paste something, you can either click an item in the list, use the context menu, or rely entirely on shortcuts. For instance, you can bring up the UI with ⇧⌘V, then hold down ⌘ and paste items in the list using the 1-9 keys.

Automatic sorting and custom lists

Items are sorted into pre-existing categories when copied, with each category using a different formatting style suitable for that specific type of content.

If the default lists aren’t specific enough, you can create your own. Items that appear here will need to meet certain criteria, allowing you to filter out anything you’re not interested in.

Of all the clipboard managers I’ve tried, PasteNow is probably the easiest to recommend. It’s intuitive, sufficiently versatile, and offers seamless synchronization via iCloud, which also ensures your data remains private. It’s also affordable, and the one-time purchase lets you use the app on both your Mac and mobile devices.
