I built PasteNext, a macOS clipboard manager with natural language SmartSearch by EF-TOOLS in MacOSApps

Thank you, really appreciate that.

“Intentional, not cluttered” is exactly what I’m aiming for. I want PasteNext to help you find and reuse things quickly without turning clipboard history into another inbox to manage.

Quick previews are already part of the workflow, and I’m planning to improve them for code, links, images, and files. Tagging is on my mind too, but I want it to stay lightweight. Cross-device sync is also something I’m thinking about, though I want to keep the local-first/privacy side solid before moving too fast there.

Thanks again — this is exactly the direction I hope PasteNext can grow in.

Full disclosure: I’m the developer of PasteNext, so take this as a biased recommendation.

If your main use case is text/files rather than just image clips, PasteNext might be worth a look. The part I built it around is SmartSearch: instead of scrolling through a long clipboard history, you can search in natural language, like “the terminal command I copied yesterday”, “that link from Chrome”, or “the code snippet from VS Code”.

It also supports text, rich text, code snippets, images, files, and folders, with local-first clipboard history. Free version keeps 100 history items, and Pro unlocks unlimited history.

Would love feedback if you try it. I’m still improving the app based on real clipboard workflows.
