About
Pastebot 2 is a clipboard manager from Tapbots. It keeps copied items available for reuse, organizes frequent clippings in custom pasteboards, and applies text filters before pasting. A quick-paste menu and sequential paste help with repetitive workflows.
The official version-2 site documents iCloud synchronization, keyboard shortcuts and an app blacklist. It lists macOS 10.14 or later. This entry installs the legacy 2.x release; Homebrew marks it deprecated and recommends the separate pastebot package. Avoid using version-3 feature or purchase information for this older release.
