macOS App, Product Design & Engineering
A free, open-source clipboard manager for macOS. Pastely remembers the text, links, images, files, colors and code you copy, then brings any of it back with a keystroke.

Free and open source. Clipboard history never leaves the device.
Project context.
The brief
macOS keeps exactly one thing on the clipboard. Copy something else and the previous item is gone, which quietly costs people work every day.
The response
I designed and built Pastely, a native macOS app that keeps a searchable history of everything you copy. Text, links, images, files, colors and code each get their own card, tagged with when it was copied and which app it came from.
The outcome
Pastely is free and open source, ships in two visual styles across all four screen edges, and keeps every item on the user's own machine — nothing is uploaded, profiled or used for training.
