The workflow

A cleaner way to keep what you copy

PasteNotch runs quietly in the menu bar, records useful clipboard items, skips concealed pasteboard content, and makes recent clips available without pulling you out of the app you are using.

Pin important snippets, save groups into Pages, preview images and files, then reuse the same history on iPhone through manual capture, Share Sheet, Shortcuts, and widgets.
