Local SQLite
On your machine. Always.
Your history lives in local SQLite — no account, no internet required. Sign in anytime to sync your 25 latest clips across devices.
Passwords, 2FA codes, addresses, private messages — your clipboard is your most sensitive data stream. That's why Pasteable is local-first and end-to-end encrypted: your history stays on your device, and when you choose to sync, our servers only ever see ciphertext. We couldn't read your clips if we wanted to.
Your history lives in a SQLite database on your device. No account, no internet, no server required — it works fully offline, forever.
Clip content is encrypted in the local database with a key sealed by your OS — macOS Keychain, Windows DPAPI, or Linux libsecret. Copying the file off your machine reads nothing.
Sync is opt-in. Free includes 25 synced clips across your devices; Pro is unlimited. Clips are encrypted on your device with AES-256-GCM before they leave it — our servers only ever store ciphertext.
The sync key never leaves your devices in the clear. Not us, not our cloud provider, not anyone with a subpoena can decrypt your clips.
Password-manager output is skipped automatically, detected secrets are blurred in the shelf, and you can exclude any app from capture entirely.
We never sell your data, never train AI on your clips, and crash reports never include clipboard content. Telemetry is coarse and opt-out.
Yes — Pasteable is free to download and use, including unlimited local history, instant search, smart collections, snippets, multi-select, offline semantic search, and 25 synced clips across your devices. Pro unlocks unlimited cloud sync, hosted AI actions, cross-device file sync, shared team boards, and more: $6/month, $60/year ($5/mo billed annually), or $80 once for a lifetime license during launch ($99 list), managed in-app.
Pro unlocks unlimited end-to-end encrypted cloud sync so your full clipboard follows you across every device — copy on Mac, paste on Windows or your phone, with files up to 1 GB included. It also adds hosted AI actions with no keys or setup, the mobile keyboard + widget, the web app with your full synced library, and shared boards with real-time multi-cursor for your team. It’s $6/month or $60/year ($5/mo when billed annually — save $12), cancel anytime from the in-app billing portal — or pay $80 once for Lifetime during launch ($99 list) and own it forever. Everything else works free, offline, forever.
Lifetime is a one-time $80 launch purchase ($99 list) that unlocks every Pro feature forever — no subscription, no renewals. It includes all future Pro features, the same E2E-encrypted sync and shared boards, and works across all your devices. Buy it once from Settings in the app.
Semantic search runs on your device and works offline. Pro also includes hosted AI actions for summarizing, rewriting, explaining, translating, extracting, and OCR. Pasteable manages the model securely, so there are no API keys, endpoints, or local model servers to configure. Cloud AI only receives content when you choose an AI action.
Pasteable runs natively on macOS (Apple Silicon & Intel), Windows 10 & 11 (64-bit), and Linux (64-bit). iPhone and Android apps include a full keyboard, home-screen widget, and quick capture — all free to start with 25 synced clips. Pro adds unlimited encrypted sync, hosted AI, and file sync across every device.
Yes, the installer is safe. Pasteable is a brand-new app, so Windows shows a temporary SmartScreen warning until it builds reputation with Microsoft. We’re shipping Authenticode-signed builds to clear this automatically. To run it now: click “More info”, then “Run anyway”. On macOS, the first time you open Pasteable, right-click the app and choose Open (or run `xattr -cr` on the .app), then confirm — signed, notarized builds are rolling out to remove this step.
Only if you choose to. By default, everything stays on your machine in a local SQLite database and works fully offline. If you sign in and enable sync, your 25 most recent clips sync across your devices — end-to-end encrypted. Pro removes the cap and adds file sync.
By default, Pasteable keeps the last 90 days and the most recent 5,000 items — whichever is more generous — and it’s fully configurable in Settings. Favorites and pinned clips are never auto-deleted, and removing a favorite gives it a fresh 90-day grace window before it can be cleaned up.
No. Pasteable is built for performance: virtualized, paginated lists (it only loads and renders what you scroll to), FTS5 search indexing, batched queries, and minimal background overhead — so it stays fast even with tens of thousands of clips.
Yes. Pasteable is offline-first — your history, semantic search, collections, and snippets work with no internet connection. Sync catches up when you reconnect; hosted Pro AI actions require internet.
Yes. You can export and import your database, and create backups at any time from Settings. Your data is always yours.
