Which permissions does PasteNotch ask for?
Only the tools you use need a permission. You can skip any of them and turn them on later in Settings.
| Permission | What it's for |
|---|---|
| Clipboard access (macOS 15.4 and later) | Keeps every copy without a prompt each time. If macOS asks, choose Always Allow. |
| Accessibility | Pastes a clip straight into the app you were using. Copying works without it. |
| Screen & System Audio Recording | Screenshots, copying text from an area and screen recording, the capture tools in PasteNotch Cloud. |
| Microphone (macOS 15 and later) | Only for screen recordings with your mic on. |
Is the download notarized by Apple?
Yes. PasteNotch is signed with an Apple Developer ID and notarized by Apple, so macOS opens it without a security warning about an unidentified developer.
How does PasteNotch stay up to date?
The Mac app updates itself. When a new version is out, PasteNotch offers it with the release notes from the changelog. To check right away, choose Check for Updates… from the PasteNotch menu.
What does it cost after the trial?
Everything in the app is free for 14 days. After that, PasteNotch is $4.99 once. If you don't buy it, your clips, search and paste keep working, but saving new clips pauses.
PasteNotch Cloud is $4.99 a month with 25 GB of storage. It includes the app and adds screenshots, area OCR, screen recording, Screenshot Studio, share links and a web library.
Is there an iPhone app?
The iPhone companion needs iOS 17 or later. It is in internal TestFlight testing and not yet on the App Store.
