PasteNow Instant Clipboard 2022 App REVIEW — MacSources

PasteNow makes clipboard management easy.

Many years ago, I was introduced to the concept of a clipboard manager. It was a utility that I didn’t think was all the important, but once I got used to using one, I never want to live without it again. Honestly, a clipboard manager is an add-on to your daily productivity that you don’t think about needing until you don’t have it anymore. It really does make that much of a difference in the way you work once you become accustomed to using it.

In the interest of full disclosure, I will say that up until about 2 years ago, I was using Paste as my clipboard manager. Paste is a solid app and it really set the bar for this class of utilities. Unfortunately, I was an early adopter and when the app moved to a subscription method of premium access, my license was no longer valid. Since then, I didn’t renew my premium access with Paste since it was a subscription and not a one-time payment. (I have opinions on payment methods for premium access to apps, but I won’t dive into that here.)

So, ever since then, I have felt the void where the clipboard manager once was. A couple of weeks ago, I fell into a new clipboard manager — PasteNow — and I’m thrilled about having that level of added functionality back in my daily life again.
