DrPaste

Stay in flow between copy and paste.

Alpha · v0.59.0 macOS 13+ clipboard

Direct alpha download. Notarization is pending until Developer ID signing is available. Provided “as is”, without warranty.

DrPaste keeps a lossless history of everything you copy — text, images, PDFs and files — with full formatting and metadata. Hold ⌥⌘V, find the thing you copied earlier, optionally transform it, and release to paste — without ever opening a clipboard window.

The gesture

One continuous motion: hold the hotkey, browse, pick an action, release. The HUD appears at your cursor and disappears the moment you're done — no window juggling, no context switch.

Want AI transformations too? SlipWay is built on the same clipboard core and adds AI-authored macros — translate, summarize, reformat. DrPaste stays focused on fast, lossless history.
