A day you'll recognize

Your clipboard holds exactly one thing.

macOS gives you a single slot. Every copy prints over the last one, and the rest is torn off. Repaste is a clipboard manager for macOS that keeps the whole roll.

The day, printed

Every copy tears off the last.

Four copies. Three destroyed, silently, by the act of making the next one. The connection string went at 14:21 — mid-incident, because someone asked you a question and you were helpful.

Reprint

Let's print that day again.

Same morning, same interruptions, same you. One thing is different: a small app is quietly keeping every copy — on your Mac, in a local database, telling no one.

Find it again

Four letters and it's back.

Press ⌘⇧V anywhere, type a fragment, press ⏎. The clip goes back on your clipboard, ready to paste.

And the ones you never typed

It reads the images you copy.

Copy a screenshot or an image file and it lands as a picture — no text in it, nothing to match on. Repaste runs it through Apple Vision on your Mac and indexes whatever it finds. Search 4821 and the pixels answer.

Keyboard

One keystroke in, one out.

What it costs you

Itemised.

Repaste itself makes no network requests. The only socket it opens is a WebSocket to 127.0.0.1, between its own window and its own embedded backend — protected by a token regenerated every launch. Clips live in a SQLite database in your user Library folder.

Stored locally, not encrypted by the app — it rests behind your macOS account and FileVault, like the rest of your Library.

Before you install

Two things to know.

Repaste is an early release by one person. It works, it is tested, and it is genuinely local — but it is v0.0.2, not v1.
