FAQ
What does PeekPaste do?
PeekPaste remembers everything you copy — text, code, links, images, colours and files — and gives it back when you need it. Push your pointer against the edge of the screen and a panel of your recent clips slides in over whatever you were doing. Click one and it goes straight back into the app you were in.
How do I open it?
Push your pointer against the edge of the screen. You can choose which edge and how long the pointer has to rest there, or turn the edge trigger off entirely and use a keyboard shortcut instead. Both work together if you want them to.
Can PeekPaste find text inside screenshots?
Yes. Text inside captured images is recognised on your Mac and made searchable, so a screenshot of an error message or a receipt can be found by searching for words that appear inside the picture. It runs entirely on-device — nothing is uploaded.
What about passwords?
When a password manager marks content as confidential, macOS flags it and PeekPaste honours the flag — the clip can be pasted again but is never legible on screen. You can also switch off password capture entirely, name specific apps PeekPaste should never record from, and mark any individual clip as sensitive.
Does PeekPaste send my clipboard anywhere?
No. Your clipboard history is stored locally on your Mac. PeekPaste does not use analytics or a clipboard sync service. When you copy a web link, it can fetch that link's preview; your clipboard contents are not otherwise sent to LucidBit.
Why does it ask for Accessibility permission?
Only if you choose automatic pasting. PeekPaste uses the permission to return to the app you were using and send Command-V for you. You can skip it at any time: PeekPaste will place the clip on your clipboard, ready for you to paste normally.
Is PeekPaste Apple Silicon native?
Yes — native arm64 build. Runs on macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later.
Is PeekPaste a subscription?
No. $9.99 once, with a 7-day free trial. One purchase, all future updates.
