About HandyPaste
In one line
HandyPaste is a text snippet manager for Mac: press ⌥⌘V in any app to paste saved replies, addresses and prompts.
In a paragraph
HandyPaste keeps the text you type again and again (replies, addresses, sign-offs, code, AI prompts) and pastes it into any app on your Mac. Press ⌥⌘V, type a few letters and press Return: the snippet lands where you were typing. Placeholders fill in dates, the clipboard and answers to questions as it pastes, and Pro fills in whole forms. HandyPaste has no account, no server and no analytics, and it never watches what you type. It's free on the Mac App Store, with HandyPaste Pro as a one-time in-app purchase.
What it does
- ⌥⌘V in any app opens a Spotlight-style picker. Type a few letters, press Return, and the snippet is pasted where you were typing.
- ⌥⌘C saves the selected text in any app as a snippet, without leaving that app.
- Placeholders fill in dates, the clipboard and the caret position, and ask questions before pasting. With Pro,
{{tab}}and{{enter}}fill in whole forms. - Works with Claude and other AI apps over MCP (Pro): they can search, fill in and save snippets.
- Private by design: no account, no server, no analytics. It never watches what you type; it acts only when you press the shortcut.
- Native SwiftUI and AppKit, iCloud sync, ten languages, and import from the free HandyPaste Chrome extension.
