PeekPaste

Changelog

Every update documented.

1.0 August 2026 Latest

Initial release. A clipboard that stays out of the way until you reach for it.

  • Screen-edge trigger: Push your pointer against the edge of the screen to open the panel. Choose the edge and the dwell delay, or turn it off and use a shortcut.
  • Global shortcut: A fully configurable keyboard shortcut, on its own or alongside the edge trigger.
  • Type-aware cards: Text, syntax-highlighted code, links with their own preview image, images, colour swatches, and files — each shown as what it is, with the app it came from.
  • Searchable screenshots: Text inside captured images is recognised on-device and indexed, so a screenshot can be found by the words inside it.
  • Space to preview: Hover a card and press Space to see the whole clip. The preview follows as you move between cards.
  • Drag anywhere: Drag a clip straight into another app, or onto the Desktop to save it as a file.
  • Paste for you: Click a card and PeekPaste presses ⌘V into the app you were in. Optional — skip the permission and press ⌘V yourself.
  • Plain text and transforms: Strip formatting on the way out, or change case, trim and collapse whitespace, and encode or decode URLs.
  • Pins, categories and filters: Pin what you use constantly, file the rest into categories you name and colour, and filter by pinned, category, app or date.
  • Library window: A full window with search, categories, date dividers, and a detail panel for editing and inspecting a clip.
  • Privacy: Confidential content is never legible on screen, any app can be ignored, and retention is yours to set — a week, a month, a year, or forever.
  • Menu-bar home: No Dock icon. Light and dark appearance and Reduce Motion all respected.
