OpenPaste
Open-source macOS clipboard manager with quick translation
Most macOS clipboard tools are either subscription-based or text-only. OpenPaste combines a visual bottom card bar with open-source freedom: • Seamless 1-click import from Paste (history, pinboards & raw formats) • In-place translation using your own OpenAI-compatible API • Built-in image OCR, code syntax highlighting, color picker & Apple Maps previews • Sequential paste queue & batch actions • Local-first storage with optional iCloud Drive sync.
Hi Product Hunt! 👋
I built OpenPaste because I wanted the sleek, bottom-docked visual card experience of paid macOS clipboard managers—combined with the privacy, transparency, and freedom of open source.
While building it in native Swift, my process evolved from making a simple clipboard history viewer to solving broader daily copy-paste friction:
• Seamless Migration: 1-click local import of your existing history and pinboards from Paste.
• Quick In-Place Translation: Connect your own OpenAI-compatible API to translate selected text and replace it with a single keystroke.
• Rich Previews & Queue: Image OCR, code syntax highlighting, color swatches, Apple Maps previews, and a sequential paste queue (⌘Return).
• Local-First & Syncable: Everything stays on your Mac by default, with optional iCloud Drive folder sync. Free for both personal and commercial use.
(Quick heads-up: Requires macOS 14+. Since it uses a stable self-signed certificate to preserve Accessibility permissions across updates, please allow it via System Settings → Privacy & Security → "Open Anyway" on first launch.)
What's your favorite clipboard shortcut or workflow on macOS? Would love to hear your thoughts and feedback! 🙌
