A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS
Mac is available now.
iPhone is in internal TestFlight testing.
Free includes 200 local clips per device, search, pins and Pages. No account is required. Optional sign-in does not upload your local library. At the limit, the oldest unpinned clip makes room for a new one; protected clips are retained. Existing larger libraries are not silently trimmed.
No. Free libraries stay on each device. The PasteNotch web portal, Cloud-synced bookmarks, screenshot capture, and video recording require PasteNotch Cloud at $2.99/month with 25 GB. Saving links and images copied from other apps to your clipboard history remains free.
Open Settings → Plan on your Mac. The Cloud plan card shows your remaining space, used storage, and account limit. Use its refresh button to check again after uploads or deletions.
Your clips are saved locally. Cloud subscribers can explicitly move eligible history and Pages into their private PasteNotch Cloud library for web access and sync. Local copies remain available offline. Sensitive clips, locked Pages, temporary clips, and local file references are excluded from Cloud clip sync.
Free keeps up to 200 clips on each device and needs no account. An optional account uses an emailed sign-in code. A Cloud subscription connects your Mac, iPhone, and web library after you choose to enable sync. Clipboard history is not sent to AI; bookmark analysis is a separate Cloud feature.
Up to 200 local clips, the notch panel, search, filters, pinning, and Pages. Copied images are clips too. There is no trial timer. Taking screenshots, area OCR, screen recording, bookmarks, and the web library are Cloud features.
PasteNotch Free is $0. PasteNotch Cloud is $2.99 per month with 25 GB, screenshots, recording, bookmarks, sharing, and optional Cloud clip sync. Checkout runs on Polar.sh; sign in with the email used for your purchase in PasteNotch → Settings → Account. Existing lifetime purchases remain supported.
Existing lifetime owners and grandfathered Early Supporters keep their capture tools. You do not need a subscription to retain what you already own. Cloud storage, bookmarks, and the web library remain subscription features.
Your local clips and Pages remain yours. New Cloud uploads and paid tools stop when access ends. Use the app or the portal to retrieve your cloud content, then choose Keep Library Local in Settings and restart to continue with Free. This switch does not delete cloud files or cancel billing; manage your subscription through Polar.
For new customers, screenshot capture, area OCR, and screen recording are included with Cloud. Existing lifetime owners keep these tools. Free continues to save images copied from other apps. Cloud capture tools work offline while your cached subscription access is valid.
An uploaded capture or file stays private until you create a link for it. Share links are never cached by the browser, and revoking a link cuts off access immediately — after which it stops resolving. Deleting the object removes it outright.
A password gate on a single board. While it is locked, its clips vanish from the panel, from search results, and from the tab strip until you type the password. Be clear-eyed about what it is: a privacy lock that hides content from someone glancing at your screen, not encryption. Do not treat it as a password vault.
Yes — export it as a single .clipstorypage file and
send it however you like. On import, any clips the recipient
already has are matched by content hash instead of duplicated. It
is a handover, not a live shared board: there is no ongoing sync
and no way to recall the copy.
Screen & System Audio Recording for screenshots, area OCR, and screen recording — requested the first time you use one of them, never at launch. Accessibility only so PasteNotch can paste into the app in front of you; copying works fine without it. Microphone only if you record with the mic on.
PasteNotch skips clipboard items marked concealed, transient, or auto-generated, which is what password managers set. On top of that, a conservative heuristic flags things that look like one-time codes, API tokens, private keys, or card numbers: previews are masked and the clip can expire on its own.
macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later. Download the ZIP, move PasteNotch to Applications, and it updates itself from then on. The iPhone companion requires iOS 17 or later and is currently in internal TestFlight testing.
