HyperPaste


HyperPaste gives your clipboard a memory.

Instead of losing what you copied a few minutes ago, HyperPaste keeps it close at hand with instant search, keyboard-first navigation, and native macOS design.

Built with SwiftUI and AppKit, HyperPaste feels like something that could have shipped with macOS.
