Getting Started

Getting Started

Install on macOS

1. Download the signed, notarized universal DMG from GitHub Releases.
2. Open the DMG and drag Pasted into Applications.
3. Launch Pasted from Applications.
4. Grant Accessibility only if you want system-wide hotkeys or automatic Queue/Quick HUD paste.

Pasted begins listening while it is running. Copy text, an image, a screenshot, a PDF, or files and they appear in History.

The three-column window

• Left: collections, Bins, Tools, and Search.
• Middle: clips in the current collection.
• Right: the selected clip, its content, actions, metadata, notes, and revisions.

Drag the column dividers to resize them. Pasted remembers the window position and layout.

First useful actions

• Click a clip to inspect it.
• Right-click for Copy, Bin, Transform, Note, Queue, Pin, Protect, and Trash actions.
• Drag a clip onto a manual Bin, Queue, Pinned, Protected, or Trash.
• Search across active and trashed history from the lower-left Search control.
• Open Settings → Features for a simpler or more capable Pasted.
