Pastebot For Mac

broken image


If you have a Mac, Tapbots also released a free preference pane called Pastebot Sync which allows you to share your clipboard between your Mac and your iPhone. You heard that right: pair the devices, leave Pastebot running on your iPhone and you'll be able to live share your clipboard from / to your Mac. Paste is the best clipboard manager for Mac and iOS. It stores everything you copy and paste on Mac, iPhone, or iPad and keeps your clipboard history organized. Pastebot works in full-screen and split-screen mode. Running in split-screen mode allows you to use Pastebot as a scratch pad. Choose from various quick paste window styles to suit your preferences, always paste in plain text, enable release-to-paste and more. There are apps you copy from that you never want stored in Pastebot. Pastebot is a clipboard manager for Mac designed to store everything you copy so that it can be re-accessed at any time.

From the makers of the popular Twitter client, Tapbots have created a brand new way to save what you copy and paste. Their newest app is Pastebot, which basically saves everything that users copy.

In my time with this app, it's great for copying and pasting, as mentioned earlier. If you're someone who does a lot of work in copying internet sources or notes for a class, this is a great way to do that. Once you copy something (right-clicking and clicking 'Copy' or by typing Command + C on the Mac keyboard) it goes directly into the app; it's that simple.

I used it most when writing for some of my college classes where I have to write a lot of documents and do a lot of editing within those documents. All I need to do is open the app (which is always available on the Mac Toolbar). From there, all you have to do is click on the text you copied earlier and then paste it into your document (or whatever task you are doing at the moment). This can be done by doing a right-click and then clicking 'Paste' or simply typing Command + V on your keyboard.

This app is great for students and users that do a lot of copying and pasting. It is definitely a basic app but can also save you when in a pickle. I'm giving Pastebot a 4/4 star rating. It's a simple app, but that's the point of it. It's simple and gets the job done and then some.

Running the App Store Version of Pastebot

Because of app sandboxing, an app called Pastebot Paste Service is needed to run alongside Pastebot. Without this service, Pastebot will be unable to paste into other applications. You can download the Paste Service here. After downloading the installer, run it and press the Install button. You can uninstall the Paste Service at any time from this same installer.

If you are running 10.14 or later, you will also need to open your system preferences, navigate to the Security & Privacy section, and then Privacy tab. Under Accessibility you should see the PastebotPasteService in the list. This must be enabled and Pastebot should work properly after.

Keep Sensitive Data From Getting Saved

You may have applications that use the pasteboard for sensitive data like password managers. Or maybe you copy from certain apps often, but never plan to reuse the data and want to keep Pastebot from storing them. Pastebot allows you to add these applications to a blacklist that Pastebot will ignore. The MacOS Keychain and 1Password are already blacklisted from Pastebot so no sensitive data copied from those apps will be stored by Pastebot. You may add other applications to Pastebot's Blacklist in the Preferences.

What Pastebot Does While Running

Once Pastebot is running, anything you copy will be stored on the Clipboard. You can recall clippings at any time to paste again or apply a filter before pasting.
