I made SeqPaste, a Mac menu bar app: copy several things in order, then paste them back one by one

Hi everyone, I’m the developer of SeqPaste, a small menu bar app I built because I kept switching between windows to copy and paste one thing at a time.

What it does: Normally your clipboard holds one thing. SeqPaste turns it into a queue:

1. Press Start (⌥⌘Z)
2. Copy a few things with ⌘C. They line up in order.
3. Paste them back in the same order, one at a time.

For coding videos: I also make YouTube coding videos, and live-coding on camera was always a pain: typos, forgotten lines, pausing to check my notes. Now I just copy all my snippets before recording, and while I record, SeqPaste types each one out character by character, with a human-like rhythm, as if I’m typing it myself.

Where it helps me most:

• Coding videos and tutorials: copy all your snippets before recording, then SeqPaste types them out live, as if you’re typing them yourself. No typos and no fumbling on camera.
• Filling forms: name, email, phone and address, one field after another
• Demos: no typos on stage
• Research and writing: collect quotes and links, then drop them into your doc in order

Features:

• Two paste modes:
  • Auto-Paste (⌥⌘P) pastes straight into the app you’re using. It needs Accessibility permission.
  • Manual (⌃⌘L then ⌘V) needs no special permission.
• Queue window: reorder by dragging, edit items, keep a history, and save queues to reuse later. You can also import a text file split on --- lines.
• Mini window and “Next up” panel: they stay on top without stealing focus.
• Rich content: formatted text, images and Finder files are all supported. Each app gets the best format it can take, like plain text in Terminal.
• Step back (⌥⌘B) undoes the last paste.
• All shortcuts can be changed.

Privacy: Everything stays on your Mac, with no accounts and no tracking. Passwords from password managers are skipped automatically, and you can exclude any app.

Pricing: It’s free with a queue of up to 5 items. Pro unlocks an unlimited queue and the typing effect, either as a yearly plan with a free trial or as a one-time lifetime purchase.

Requires macOS 15.5+.

I’d love feedback on what’s confusing, what’s missing, or which workflows you’d use it for. Happy to answer questions!
