Why CopyPasta
We noticed copying and pasting hasn't changed since 1973. Meanwhile, knowledge work has exploded. So has the amount we copy and paste.
4× more pasting.
Google engineers paste code four times as often as they type it manually. Research
At the same time, work habits are changing: tools draft, people review.
Delegate small tasks to machines.
Anthropic engineers increasingly use Claude to draft updates and data readouts, then review the output themselves. Interview
The next step is software that understands where you work and helps before you ask. This is ambient intelligence, and CopyPasta aims to bring it to the OS layer, starting with your clipboard.
Juggle fewer apps, explain less context, and get more done.

Questions.
What happens to my data?
Standard formatting runs on your machine. AI rewrites send copied text, your instruction, and relevant context to our service and AI providers. Read our Privacy and trust page for details.
Do I need an account to use CopyPasta?
Yes. Sign in to CopyPasta before using the free plan or AI pastes.
What counts as an AI paste?
Anything a model touched. Ordinary formatting never counts, on any plan.
What happens when I run out?
Formatting keeps working. AI resets at midnight UTC, or you can upgrade to Pro for unlimited AI pastes.
How do I earn free unlimited days?
Every 80 qualifying AI pastes across days earn 24 unlimited hours, up to 14 rewards per account. Repeating the same source consecutively doesn't count. Pastes during unlimited hours don't earn more rewards.
How does clipboard history work on Mac?
On macOS 26, open Spotlight and press ⌘4—your Mac already keeps one. Read how clipboard history works on Mac, and what CopyPasta adds.
