Windows+V for Mac, but smarter
Copy anything. Paste it exactly how you need it.
Copst turns your Mac clipboard into a Smart Paste workspace: search history, preview clips, create snippets, clean formatting, OCR screenshots, pin reusable items, and paste without leaving the app you are in.

Native macOS
First minute
The whole pitch fits in one loop.
Copy as usual. Open Copst. Pick a clip. Paste it cleaner than it started.
Copy
Text, links, code, screenshots, and images are captured locally.
Find
Press ControlOptionV or use Compact Mode with CommandShiftV.
Fix
Preview, edit, strip formatting, convert to Markdown, or extract text from screenshots.
Paste
Send the finished clip into the front app and keep moving.
Why it is different
Clipboard history is the start. Smart Paste is the product.
Copst is built for the moment after you copy something, when you still need to find it, clean it, format it, or save it for later.
Smart Paste
Paste in the format the moment needs.
Plain text, Markdown, email-friendly copy, bullet lists, code blocks, trimmed whitespace, and slugified strings are all one click away.
Edit before paste.
Fix copied text without opening Notes, TextEdit, or a browser tab. Save it back, copy it, or paste it when it is ready.
Search images by the words inside them.
Copst uses on-device OCR so copied screenshots can be found later from normal search.
Turn throwaway clips into reusable work.
Pin the things you reuse, group them into boards, and keep repeat paste work out of your head.
Product screenshots
Real workflows, not placeholder promises.
The app is designed around fast daily use: search, inspect, edit, OCR, organize, and paste.
Private by default
Your clipboard should not become somebody else's dataset.
Local history
Clipboard history is stored on your Mac.
On-device OCR
Screenshot text extraction uses Apple's Vision framework locally.
Explicit permissions
Accessibility is used only to paste into the front app after you choose a clip.

Before you download
Clear answers for a clipboard app.
Copst touches sensitive workflows, so the product should be plain about storage, permissions, updates, and purchases.
