Smart Paste

Local

Local-first by design

Everything you copy is stored on your Mac. No accounts, no cloud sync, no surprises.

Lock

Private by default

Copst does not upload clipboard history automatically. You stay in control.

Mac

Native and fast

Built for macOS with Swift and SwiftUI. Lightweight, responsive, and familiar.

Paste

Permissions you control

Accessibility is used only so Copst can paste into the front app after you choose a clip.

Smart Paste workflow

No extra apps. No context switching. Just find the clip and paste it the way you need.

Quick Edit before paste

Need quote for panel upgrade. Customer wants pricing by Friday. Need equivalent model.
