Pastoid
Pastoid is a lightweight, fast clipboard manager for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Built with Tauri and React, it runs quietly in the background and keeps your clipboard history always within reach.
## Why Pastoid?
Pastoid keeps your clipboard history at your fingertips — a configurable number of recent items, ready to search and paste in an instant. Whether it's a code block, a URL or a piece of text you copied hours ago — Pastoid keeps it accessible.
## Key Features
- **📋 Automatic History** — Everything you copy is recorded in the background without any extra steps.
- **📌 Pin Important Items** — Keep frequently used snippets at the top of your list for instant access.
- **🔍 Instant Search** — Find any copied item in seconds with real-time search as you type.
- **🌙 Theme Support** — Choose between Light, Dark, or follow your system automatically.
- **🌍 Bilingual** — Full support for both English and Chinese interfaces.
- **🚀 Start with System** — Optional auto-start so Pastoid is always ready when you are.
- **⌨️ Keyboard-First** — Open the quick paste panel with a global shortcut, navigate with arrow keys, and paste without touching your mouse.
- **⚙️ Configurable Limits** — Set how many items to keep (1–100) to balance history depth and performance.
## Screenshots
## Quick Paste Panel
Press your configured shortcut (default: `Cmd+Shift+V`) anywhere to instantly summon the quick paste panel. It appears over any app — even full-screen games or videos — so you can paste without breaking your flow.
Inside the panel:
- **↑↓** to navigate
- **↵** to paste
- **⌘P** to pin or unpin
- **⌘⌫** to delete an item
- **⌘⇧X** to clear all history
- **Esc** to close
## Privacy by Design
Pastoid stores your clipboard history locally on your machine. No cloud, no account, no tracking. Your data stays yours.
## Installation
### macOS
1. Download the `.dmg` file from the [latest release](https://github.com/wst7/pastoid/releases/latest).
2. Open the `.dmg` and drag **Pastoid** into your **Applications** folder.
3. If you see the message **"Pastoid.app" is damaged and can't be opened**, this is due to macOS Gatekeeper blocking unsigned apps. Run this command in Terminal to allow it:
```bash
xattr -cr /Applications/Pastoid.app
```
4. Open Pastoid from your Applications folder. You may need to go to **System Settings → Privacy & Security** and click **Open Anyway** on the first launch.
### Windows
1. Download the `.msi` or `.exe` installer from the [latest release](https://github.com/wst7/pastoid/releases/latest).
2. Run the installer and follow the prompts.
### Linux
Download the `.AppImage` or `.deb` package from the [latest release](https://github.com/wst7/pastoid/releases/latest).
- **AppImage**: Make it executable and run it directly.
- **.deb**: Install with `sudo dpkg -i pastoid_*.deb`.
