Pasteable vs Copied
Pasteable vs Copied
the cross-platform clipboard app that went quiet
Copied was a promising Mac and iOS clipboard manager with a clean UI and cloud sync. It earned a loyal following. But development has largely stalled, sync reliability has suffered, and there is no Windows, Linux, or Android support. Pasteable covers the same cross-device vision with active development on five platforms.

the cross-platform clipboard app that went quiet
Where Copied is genuinely good
- Clean, simple UI that Mac and iOS users loved.
- Cloud sync between Mac and iPhone when it works.
- List and rule-based collections for organizing clips.
Where Pasteable pulls ahead
- Actively developed on Mac, Windows, Linux, iPhone, and Android.
- Optional end-to-end encrypted sync — the cloud copy is unreadable without your key.
- AI semantic search, snippets with OS-level text expansion, and a mobile keyboard.
- Team shared boards for collaboration.
- A web app so you can grab any clip from a browser.

- No AI search, no OS text expansion, no mobile keyboard, no team sharing.
- No end-to-end encrypted sync option.
The honest verdict
Copied was ahead of its time — but it stalled. If you want the cross-device clipboard vision Copied promised, actually shipping on five platforms with AI search, E2E sync, and a mobile keyboard, Pasteable is the active, growing version of that idea.
Common questions
Is Copied still being updated?+

There is no direct importer, but Pasteable captures everything going forward the moment you install it. Re-copy anything you need and it is immediately in your searchable history.
