Paste from 500
copies back.

KhingPaste lives in the menu bar and remembers everything you copy. Bring any of it back on a hotkey, without leaving the app you are in. Built for macOS. Nothing else.

What it does

One job, finished

01

Everything you copy, kept

Text, images, and copied files go in as you work, and they are still there after a restart. Five hundred copies by default.

⌃⌘V

02

Rich copies survive the round trip

A frame copied out of Figma carries no plain text at all. KhingPaste keeps the markup and puts it back byte for byte, so it pastes into the app it came from.

03

Never steals your focus

The panel floats over whatever you are in. Your cursor stays where you left it, and so does the app you were typing into.

04

No mouse needed

Type to filter, arrows to move, Return to paste. The whole panel is reachable from the keys you already have down.

05

Pin what you keep reaching for

Pinned items stay past the size limit and past a clear, so the address and the licence key you paste every week never age out.

06

Passwords never get recorded

Copies marked transient or concealed are skipped outright, which is what every password manager marks its copies as. The history lives in a SQLite file in your own Application Support folder and goes nowhere else.

Permissions

Two prompts, and what they are for

Required

Clipboard access

macOS 15.4 and later ask before an app reads what you copy unless a paste gesture drove it. Choose Always Allow for KhingPaste and it stops asking. Settings shows the current state.

System Settings → Privacy & Security → Pasteboard

Optional

Accessibility access

Only needed for Paste automatically, which presses Command-V for you after you pick an item. Without it KhingPaste still puts the item on the clipboard, and the panel says Copy rather than Paste.

System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility

Trust

Signed and notarized

Every release is signed with a Developer ID certificate and notarized by Apple. It opens with no Gatekeeper warning.

Privacy

Nothing leaves your Mac

KhingPaste collects no data. No account, no analytics, no servers. The history is a SQLite file in your Application Support folder, and clearing it removes the rows and the stored images together.

Updates

Updates arrive in the app

KhingPaste checks once a day in the background and never interrupts a panel you have open. One click installs the new version.

Stop losing what you copied.
