macOS Pastebin

A Local, Encrypted Pastebin Direct to your Mac.

Developers constantly need a temporary place to store code blocks, JSON payloads, and terminal outputs. The default? Navigating 10 tabs to find pastebin.com. The danger? Accidentally pasting proprietary config variables to a public URL.

Pasty acts as a highly secure, offline macOS Pastebin. Whenever you copy code, Pasty automatically detects the programming language, formats the syntax with colors, and safely encrypts it inside your Mac's hard drive.

Online Pastebins ⚠️

Security Risks: Every time you use an external pastebin, you risk leaking SSH keys, database credentials, or proprietary algorithms to indexing search engines or unlisted URLs.

Friction: It requires opening a browser, clicking "Create", copying the URL, sending the URL... it's a multi-step workflow simply to manage snippets.

Pasty Local Pastebin 🔐

Zero-Friction & Syntax Aware: Simply hit ⌘C in VSCode. Pasty automatically recognizes the language, applies syntax highlighting to the code block, and stores it in an infinite local queue.

AES-256 Encryption: Nothing ever leaves your Mac. Your code history is entirely local, encrypted heavily, and retrievable instantly via ⌥V without touching your mouse.

Common Pastebin Questions

Why is a local pastebin better than a web browser one?
Two massive reasons: Speed and Security. Browsers take time to load, URLs get lost, and pasting proprietary company code onto external third-party servers usually violates modern compliance and data security laws. Pasty runs silently in the background of macOS, and never transfers your data to any servers.
Does Pasty display code properly?
Unlike basic macOS clipboard managers that just show raw text, Pasty has an intelligent Code View mode. It supports over 30 languages (JSON, Python, Swift, React, C++, etc), automatically detects the clipboard payload, formats it beautifully, and displays exact line numbers inside the quick-access panel.
