The text you use again and again, one clicktap away — and it lands as clean plain text wherever you paste it. No formatting to fix. Nothing extra.

Arrange snippets the way you think — by place, colour and size — instead of hunting through an alphabetical list. Rather have the list? One clicktap turns the same board into one.
Pasting never carries font, colour or size — it can't break the formatting of an email or a document.
On the Mac, jpaste opens over the app you are in without taking focus from it, and the first click copies. On iPhone and iPad, Shortcuts and Siri copy a snippet without opening the app, and on an iPad you drag one from an open board into the app beside it.
Leave a board open, lock it behind Face ID or Touch ID, or seal it with a passphrase only you know. A single snippet can hide behind a label, and its copy leaves the clipboard after a minute.
There are no ad SDKs, no analytics and no tracking code inside — nothing in the app that isn't the app. That is why the whole of it is a download of a few megabytes.
Choose yours inside jpaste — from Ukrainian and German to Japanese, Hindi and Bengali — and leave your device in whatever language it is in.
These are real boards. Drop a board into a list when you want to read it, spread it back out when you want to see it — and tap any block to copy it, exactly as the app does.
One board per job you have held: the company, the city, the stack, the dates, the paragraph describing it. Every form asks for the same six things in a different order.
The build flag you can never remember, the address of the staging box, the one-liner that fixes the thing. Two taps instead of a crawl back through shell history.
jpaste keeps text as text. Paste into Mail, Slack or a web form and nothing comes with it — no font, no colour, no size, nothing to clean up afterwards.
Whatever you paste arrives as plain text
A board sealed with a passphrase only you know, encrypted before it touches storage. The guest Wi-Fi, the studio door code, a licence key. Tap the board to open it.
Copy a line, paste it, and a font comes with it. A size. Sometimes a background colour. You end up fixing formatting instead of writing — and in a field that keeps the styling, what you pasted is worse than what you started with. jpaste hands over the characters and nothing else.
Everything wants an account, an e-mail, a little anonymous usage data. I'd rather the text I keep stayed mine, and I don't think that's a rare opinion. So there is no account to make, and no server of mine to make it on — your snippets sit on your devices and in your own iCloud.
A place to keep your own text isn't a service, it's a tool. I wanted to buy it once and still have it in a year, on whatever I happen to be holding. One payment, and it covers the Mac, the iPhone and the iPad together — including the ones you buy later.
Every app is growing an assistant, and it always arrives on a subscription. But my own address, the reply I always send, the command I always run — none of that needs thinking about. It needs to come back exactly as I typed it: nothing to re-read, nothing quietly invented. jpaste is a stool. Simple, steady, and not trying to become a gaming chair.
Through your own private iCloud database — your account, your devices. There is no server of ours in the middle, because there is no server of ours at all. Sync costs nothing extra: the paid unlock buys snippets, never features.
jpaste has no backend — not a minimal one, not a logging one, not a “just for analytics” one. Your snippets live on your devices and in your own iCloud, and there has never been anywhere else for them to be.
There is no account to create, no e-mail to hand over, no telemetry to switch off. Your snippets live on your devices and in your own iCloud — the only two places they have ever been. Import and export arrive in a later release; until then your library exists as no file anywhere, which is the point and, for now, also the limit.
The first 20 snippets are free and stay free. Unlock the rest once and it is yours on every Mac, iPhone and iPad you own — including the ones you buy later.
And if you remember a certain god-mode code from 1993, type it as a snippet for ten more.
