Clipboard manager for Mac and iPhone
Copy everything.
Paste it in order.
Hotstash keeps every copy, finds any of them in a keystroke, and pastes a whole list with plain ⌘V, one item at a time.
30-day free trial · $9.99 once · one purchase covers both devices
Paste Stack
Fill a whole form without switching windows.
⌘-click the items you need. Every ⌘V pastes the next one, wherever your cursor is.
- 1The right item for each fieldClick into an Email or Phone field and the matching item is ready first, even out of order.
- 2Forgot one value? Just copy itYour new copy pastes next, then the stack picks up where you left off.
- 3Esc to stopThe stack ends by itself after the last item.
Everything you copied
A history you can actually find things in.
Press ⌘⇧V anywhere, type a few letters, press Return.
Search inside screenshots
Text in every copied image is read on your Mac, so "invoice 2291" finds the screenshot.
Folders, pins, and names
Recents, Pinned, and your own folders sit side by side as tabs. Name an item "IBAN" and find it by typing that.
Paste Last Items
⌘⇧L pastes your last few copies at once, inline or one per line. Or ⌘-click any items and join them.
Paste by number
⌘1 to ⌘9 pastes your latest items without opening anything.
Open Source
Jump back to the web page a clip came from, scrolled to the exact passage.
Codes clean themselves up
Verification codes and one-time links leave your history after 10 minutes.
Transforms
Fix what you copied before you paste it.
Pick an item, pick a transform, and the result is on your clipboard. 30+ come built in, and you can set favourites to their own shortcuts.

Questions
Good to know
Where do I find Hotstash after installing it on my Mac?
It lives in the menu bar (the flame icon), not the Dock. Press ⌘⇧V from any app to open your history.
Does it work on iPhone?
Yes. The same purchase covers the iPhone app, which syncs with your Mac through iCloud. Add the Hotstash keyboard to paste in any app.
Can I bring my history from Maccy or Raycast?
Yes. Settings → General → Import from Maccy (text, pins, images) or Import from Raycast (text and links, from a Raycast settings export).
How do folders work?
Create a folder from the panel and it appears as a tab next to Recents and Pinned. Items in folders are kept out of Recents and never cleared automatically. Folders sync to your iPhone.
Are transforms included?
Transforms are part of Hotstash Pro. Try everything free for 30 days first.
Why does Paste Stack ask for Accessibility access?
macOS only lets an app notice your ⌘V presses with that permission. Hotstash listens only while a stack is running.
What happens after the 30-day trial?
You can buy Pro once to keep everything. Restore a purchase any time from Settings → About.
