PasteDo

Clipboard manager for Windows

Everything you copy, and something useful to do with it.

PasteDo keeps your clipboard history, then lets you act on it. Clean up the formatting, evaluate the number, pull out the addresses, fill in a template, all without leaving the panel. Every one of those runs offline, on your machine, with no key to configure.

Windows 10 and 11. The app needs no account, no sign-up, nothing to configure.

Windows will show a warning — here's why

The beta installer isn't code-signed yet. Signing costs a few hundred dollars a year, and I'd rather find out first whether anyone wants PasteDo. Until then, Windows will show "Windows protected your PC": that screen means Windows doesn't recognize the publisher, not that it found anything. Click "More info", then "Run anyway".

If you'd rather check before installing: PasteDo makes no network connections at all unless you add your own OpenAI key — any firewall will confirm it.

What it does

Ten text actions, offline

Clean up formatting, change case, strip markup, format JSON, evaluate an expression, pull the emails or URLs out of a block of text. They run on your machine, with no network call and no API key, and they always will.

Sensitive content expires on its own

API keys, AWS credentials, JWTs, card numbers and IBANs are recognized as they are copied and given a short life in your history. PasteDo also honors the Clipboard Viewer Ignore flag that password managers set — which protects a copy only when the source app marks it, and not all of them do. Both are in the free tier.

Snippets you fill in as you pastePro

Save a template with named placeholders, and PasteDo asks for the values in a small form instead of making you edit the text afterwards. For replies, boilerplate, and anything you retype with two words changed.

AI only if you bring the keyPro

Rewrite and translate actions sit in the same bar as the rest, but only once you have configured your own OpenAI key. It is kept in the Windows Credential Manager, and no model ships inside the app. Configure nothing and you will never see them.

It stays out of the way

A global hotkey to open the panel and a tray icon to find it. No Electron, no bundled runtime, no background service eating memory while you do something else.

Nothing leaves your machine

History lives in a SQLite file on your disk. There is no account, no sync, no telemetry, and no server of ours that could receive your clipboard even by accident. Deleted rows are overwritten, not just unlinked.

What happens after Ctrl+C

Holding a history is the easy half. Handing the text back exactly as it arrived leaves you to do the rest by hand, every time, in whatever window you happened to be in. PasteDo is built for the part that comes after.

It changes the text on the way through

Ten actions wait on the row you just selected. Strip the formatting a web page dragged along, tidy the JSON, work out the total, lift the addresses out of a paragraph. One keystroke, no network call, no key to configure, and the same result whether or not you have a connection.

It forgets what you should not be keeping

A clipboard history is a list of everything you handled today, credentials included. PasteDo recognizes API keys, AWS secrets, tokens, card numbers and IBANs as they arrive and puts them on a short timer, so the paste works and the record does not outlive it. It also steps aside for password managers that ask not to be watched — though that only holds when the app doing the copying marks the copy, and not all of them do. That gap is where the recognition above earns its keep: a credential copied without the flag is still text, and text is something PasteDo can read.

Gone from history

It fills in the parts that changePro

The messages you send twice a week are the same message with two words moved. Save one as a snippet with named placeholders and PasteDo asks for those words in a small form, then puts the finished text on the clipboard. No editing the boilerplate back into shape every time.

The first two are in the free tier and stay there. Neither needs an account, a connection, or a key.

Try it while the beta is open

During the beta everything is unlocked, snippets with fill-in fields and AI actions included, with no license and no payment. That ends when v1 ships: those two need a Pro license from then on, while the free tier carries on untouched. The early-bird discount goes out on the day Pro ships, to the people on the list below.
