History
Every copy, kept where only you can see it.
UniPaste remembers everything you’ve copied — across all your paired devices — and lets you search through it instantly. Each item is tagged with the device it came from, so you always know whether that link was grabbed on your phone or your laptop.
A lot of people install UniPaste for the sync and end up using it just as much for the history. Both are part of the same quiet little app.

A clipboard that respects you.
A clipboard with memory
Every copy from every paired device, searchable in one place. Find that link you grabbed on your phone last Tuesday — or the snippet you copied on your work Mac — without leaving your keyboard.
Private by default
End-to-end encrypted between your paired devices. No telemetry, no account, no clipboard ever touches our servers — because there are none.
Cross-device, finally
Android and Mac talking to each other like they always should have. Pair as many devices as you like — phone, laptop, work Mac.
How it works
Three small steps.
One copy, one paste.
- 01
Install on both devices
Grab the Mac app and the Android app. Each one is under 10 MB and opens straight to a single screen.
- 02
Pair on the same Wi-Fi
Open both apps and enter the pairing code once. Your devices remember each other from then on.
- 03
Copy here, paste there
That is the whole product. Copy on your phone, paste on your Mac. Or the other way around. Text, links, images.
Privacy
The clipboard is the most sensitive thing you copy. So we don’t store it.
Passwords. 2FA codes. Snippets of work. The contents of your clipboard say a lot about you. UniPaste was built so that nobody — not us, not your network — gets to see them in transit.
- ●
- Clipboard contents are sealed before they leave a device and only your paired devices hold the keys.
- ●
- Sync happens over your Wi-Fi. Your clipboard does not travel through anyone’s cloud.
- ●
- There is nothing to sign up for. No email, no password, no profile.
- ●
- No analytics SDKs. No telemetry. No crash pipeline that ships your data away.
End-to-end encryption
Local network only
No account, ever
Zero tracking
How UniPaste compares
Other clipboard tools live in someone’s cloud — or skip macOS and Android entirely.
A short, honest read on every alternative we’ve seen — and the three specific things UniPaste does that none of them do together.
Zero cloud, by design
Every alternative either runs through a vendor's server (Pushbullet, Microsoft, Join) or is locked to one ecosystem (Apple). UniPaste is peer-to-peer over mDNS + TCP on your own Wi-Fi. If your Wi-Fi works, it works.
The macOS ↔ Android gap, finally filled
Apple covers iOS ↔ macOS. Microsoft covers Windows ↔ Android. Until UniPaste, the macOS ↔ Android quadrant was open — KDE Connect treats macOS as an afterthought. That gap is exactly what we ship.
Verified end-to-end encryption
Modern crypto, not a marketing claim. Devices identify each other with Ed25519, exchange keys with X25519, encrypt payloads with ChaCha20-Poly1305 — and you verify a 6-digit SAS code on both screens at pairing.

Tools doing a different job aren’t in the table: Snapdrop and LocalSend are LAN file-sharing, not clipboard sync; Raycast, Maccy and Pasteare excellent local clipboard managers on macOS, but don’t cross to your phone.

FAQ
Questions, answered plainly.
How is UniPaste different from Apple Universal Clipboard?
Apple Universal Clipboard only works between Apple devices and depends on iCloud and an Apple ID. UniPaste works between Android and Mac (with more platforms on the way), runs over your local Wi-Fi, and never sends your clipboard to anyone's cloud. There is no account to create.
How is UniPaste different from KDE Connect?
KDE Connect is Linux-first and treats macOS as an afterthought — the Mac port needs a manual brew install, has no menu-bar polish, and is flaky in practice. KDE Connect also tries to be 15 things at once; clipboard is one of them. UniPaste is built for macOS ↔ Android first and does one thing: clipboard sync, with a polished menu-bar app on Mac.
Is UniPaste like Pushbullet?
No. Pushbullet routes your clipboard through their servers, caps the free tier at 100 characters and 100 pushes per month, and the project has been in maintenance limbo for years. UniPaste is peer-to-peer on your own Wi-Fi, has no cloud, no caps, and no account.
How is UniPaste different from Microsoft Cloud Clipboard?
Microsoft Cloud Clipboard (and SwiftKey Sync) only covers Windows ↔ Android and routes through a Microsoft account and Microsoft's cloud. UniPaste covers macOS ↔ Android, never leaves your local Wi-Fi, and doesn't need an account at all.
Does UniPaste work between Android and Mac?
Yes. That is exactly what UniPaste was built for. Install the Mac app and the Android app, pair them once on the same Wi-Fi network, and copying on one device makes the content paste-ready on the other.
Is it really private?
Yes. Clipboard contents are end-to-end encrypted between your paired devices. UniPaste does not collect telemetry, does not require an account, and does not route your clipboard through any server we control.
Does UniPaste need an internet connection?
No. UniPaste discovers and talks to your other devices on the same local network. As long as both devices are on the same Wi-Fi, syncing works — even if the internet is down.
What does UniPaste sync?
Text, links and images. Anything you copy on one paired device shows up as the latest clipboard item on the other, ready to paste.
Does UniPaste keep a history of what I've copied?
Yes. UniPaste keeps a searchable history of every copy across your paired devices, with each item tagged with the device it came from. A lot of people install UniPaste for the sync and end up using the history just as much. The history lives on your devices — nothing leaves your local network.
How many devices can I pair?
As many as you want. Pair your phone, your laptop, your work Mac — copying on any of them updates the clipboard on the others.
Is UniPaste free?
UniPaste is free to install and use. There is no account, no subscription, and no upsell.
One clipboard.
Every device you own.
Install UniPaste on your Mac and your Android phone. The whole setup takes under a minute.
