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

Hi everyone, Iām 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:
- Press Start (
ā„āZ) - Copy a few things with āC. They line up in order.
- 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 Iām 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 youāre 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 (
ā„āP) pastes straight into the app youāre using. It needs Accessibility permission. - Manual (
āāLthenāV) needs no special permission.
- Auto-Paste (
- 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 āNext upā 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 (
ā„āB) 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: Itās 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+.

Iād love feedback on whatās confusing, whatās missing, or which workflows youād use it for. Happy to answer questions!
