I updated my clipboard app with Smart Paste v2 after Reddit feedback
A few weeks ago, I posted Pasly here — a small macOS clipboard app I built because I kept losing things I copied.
The feedback was way better than I expected, and I’ve been improving it since then.
Problem
Copy/paste still has a small but annoying problem:
You copy something…
Then copy something else…
Then realize you needed the previous thing.
Or you press Cmd+V and paste the wrong item.
Most clipboard managers solve this with history, but I wanted the paste flow itself to feel faster.
Update
The new version focuses mostly on Smart Paste.
Smart Paste v2:
- opens instantly when you press Cmd+V
- lets you pick the right clipboard item before pasting
- supports Live Replace for Pro users: paste normally, then choose another item to replace it
- improves support for alternate keyboard layouts, including Dvorak
I also improved:
- Field Sense — the feature that shows Pasly when you focus an input
- history cleanup, with clearer delete options
- update dialogs and changelog layout
- small visual polish across the app
The goal is still the same:
make copy → search → paste feel fast, simple, and low-friction.
What’s next
I’m working on more improvements for:
- Smart Paste
- Field Sense
- better app behavior/control
- Mac-to-Mac sync/integration
I’m trying to keep Pasly focused on clipboard workflows, not turn it into a bloated productivity suite.
