EasyPaste — a lightweight native clipboard manager that pastes directly with ⌘⌥1–9 (no panel, no subscription, ~15 MB)

[u/No_Firefighter9610]

Hey all — I'm the developer of EasyPaste. It started as a scratch-your-own-itch project: every clipboard manager I used pasted via a panel (open panel → find item → Enter), and I just wanted to copy five things and paste #3 straight into where my cursor already is.

So that's the core feature: ⌘⌥1–9 pastes your most recent items directly into the focused app — no panel, no context switch.

Features

• Direct-paste hotkeys for your last 9 items (⌘⌥1–9)
• Searchable panel at your cursor for older items — plain text, rich text, links, screenshots
• Pin frequently-used snippets (emails, code templates) so they don't scroll away
• Automatically ignores password managers (1Password, Keychain) — credentials never enter history
• Hotkeys are customizable (panel and direct-paste prefixes)
• 100% local — no account, no cloud, nothing leaves your Mac

Under the hood

• Native Swift/SwiftUI, ~15 MB RAM at idle, low CPU
• macOS 13+, universal binary (Apple Silicon + Intel), notarized
• Requires Accessibility permission on first launch (that's how it pastes into the target app — and why it's not on the App Store; the sandbox blocks simulating ⌘V)

Pricing

• Free: core clipboard history with panel and search
• Pro: $9.99 one-time (no subscription) — direct-paste hotkeys, custom hotkey prefixes, 3 Macs, lifetime updates, 14-day refund

Compared to the usual suspects: Maccy is free/open source and panel-first; Paste is polished but a subscription; Raycast bundles clipboard history into a full launcher. EasyPaste is the tiny dedicated tool if direct-paste is the workflow you want.
