LionPaste — The Most Powerful Clipboard Manager for macOS

LionPaste remembers everything you copy — text, images, files — and lets you instantly access your complete clipboard history using a customizable keyboard shortcut.

A sleek floating panel appears right at your cursor so you never need to leave where you're working.

Why LionPaste?

Unlike basic clipboard managers, LionPaste transforms your clipboard into a complete productivity powerhouse with:

  • Smart detection
  • Text transforms
  • Clipboard snippets
  • Paste queues
  • Privacy-first encryption
  • Lightning-fast search

🗂 Unlimited Clipboard History

Every text, image, and file you copy is automatically saved. Search, filter, and reuse anything from minutes or days ago.

🔍 Smart Search & Regex

Find anything instantly using normal search or advanced regex patterns. Search emails, URLs, phone numbers, and more within seconds.

🏷 Auto-Categorization

Clipboard items are automatically categorized into:

  • Text
  • Links
  • Code
  • Numbers
  • Images
  • Files

📌 Pin Important Items

Pin frequently used clipboard items permanently. Pinned items survive restarts, retention cleanup, and history purges.

✂️ 11 Powerful Text Transforms

Transform copied content before pasting with:

  • UPPERCASE
  • lowercase
  • Title Case
  • Trim Whitespace
  • Strip HTML
  • URL Encode / Decode
  • Sort Lines
  • Remove Duplicates
  • JSON Prettify
  • JSON Minify

📋 Snippets & Templates

Save reusable snippets like email signatures, code blocks, addresses, templates, and canned responses. Always available from the Snippets tab.

📦 Paste Queue (FIFO)

Copy multiple items in sequence and paste them one-by-one automatically. Perfect for forms, spreadsheets, and repetitive workflows.

🎨 Color Detection

Copy hex colors like #FF5733 and instantly see live color previews directly inside your clipboard history.

🔒 Sensitive Content Detection

Passwords, API keys, and credit card numbers are automatically detected and masked inside the interface.

🧹 Smart Clipboard Rules

  • Auto-strip UTM tracking parameters
  • Auto-trim whitespace
  • Ignore password managers like 1Password & LastPass

☁️ iCloud Sync

Sync clipboard history and snippets across all your Macs using iCloud.

📱 iOS Companion App

Access and browse your Mac clipboard history directly from iPhone and iPad.

⌨️ Customizable Shortcut

Set any keyboard shortcut to instantly open LionPaste. Works system-wide across macOS.

🖱 Floating Panel at Cursor

The clipboard popup appears exactly where your cursor is located — enabling faster access without moving your eyes to the menu bar.

👆 Multi-Select Support

Use ⌘ + Click to select multiple clipboard items. Paste files together or merge text content instantly.

📊 Character & Word Count

Every clipboard item displays detailed character and word counts. Perfect for writers, developers, marketers, and social media managers.

🏷 Source App Tracking

Know exactly where copied content came from — Chrome, Finder, Xcode, Terminal, VS Code, and more.

📤 Export & Import

Export clipboard history as JSON or CSV and import backups anytime.

🌙 Native Dark Mode

Fully native dark mode support with optional Light/Dark override preferences.


🔐 Privacy First

  • AES-256 encrypted clipboard history
  • Encryption keys stored securely in macOS Keychain
  • No tracking
  • No analytics
  • No external servers
  • All data stays on your Mac
  • Optional iCloud sync powered by Apple infrastructure

Built for Productivity

LionPaste is designed for:

  • Developers
  • Founders
  • Designers
  • Recruiters
  • Writers
  • Students
  • Researchers
  • Support teams
  • Power users

Stop losing copied content. Stop repetitive copy-pasting. Work faster with LionPaste.

Good, But Room for Improvement

I started using LionPaste a few months ago, and while it's been helpful, I've found a few issues with the search function - sometimes it takes a while to find the snippet I'm looking for. That being said, the customer support team has been responsive and helpful, so I'm hoping they'll address this issue in a future update.
