Pastry

The privacy-focused clipboard manager.

Pastry notices when you copy something sensitive, cleans what you're about to share, and stays out of sight when your screen is shared. All of it happens on your Mac.

Coming soon to the Mac App Store

Free with your five most recent items. One purchase unlocks the rest for good.

Built for the sensitive things you copy.

A clipboard manager sees everything you copy. Pastry is designed around that fact, and every protection here is on from the first launch.

Secrets delete themselves.

Pastry recognizes API keys, card numbers and one-time codes as you copy them, and deletes each one five minutes later. Everything else stays. (Five minutes, played here in a few seconds.)

Card number

Masked in the list. Whole when you paste.

Secrets show as dots while you scroll, so a glance over your shoulder gets nothing. Paste one and the real thing lands.

Missing from screen shares and screenshots.

Pastry hides itself from screen sharing, screenshots and most recordings. Paste five things in a row during a meeting and nobody watching sees a clipboard manager at all.

Links lose their trackers.

Tracking codes are stripped the moment you copy a link. The parts that make the link work are left alone.

Photos lose their location.

Location and camera details are removed from every image you copy, so you never share where you were by accident.

Your rules, app by app.

Block an app completely, or let its copies expire on a timer you choose. Password managers are already handled: anything they mark as private is never saved.

Pastry never connects to the internet.

No account, no analytics, no servers. Reading the text in a screenshot and naming it both happen on your Mac.

Also a very good clipboard manager.

Press Command, Shift and V, type a few letters, press Return. Pastry opens at once and pastes right where you were.

Search the words inside your screenshots.

Pastry reads the text in every screenshot and gives it a sensible name, so you can find one by what it says. Try "gate" or "olive" above.

Smaller screenshots, same pixels.

Images you copy are shrunk in the background at the same size and resolution, ready to post without the extra megabytes.

Collections for the things you paste all the time.

Keep snippets, links and addresses together, give each item a name, and open any collection with its own keyboard shortcut.
