Congrats on the launch! The app looks great but the $10 price tag might be too steep for some. It's also a shame there's no trial option before buying. For anyone looking for a freeware app that has the same functionaility, I've been using http://www.clipmenu.com/ for a while now and it works perfectly :)

@justingosan or JumpCut, it's been around for eternity, does job well and never asks for anything.

@justingosan Paste 2 is a free update for a first version and Mac apps don't get as much revenue as iOS do, but I really want to continue the development and survive :) BTW you can alway refund it on Mac App Store if you don't like it, it compensates the lack of trial version in some point ;)

@stel2k I don't mean to pry on your app design decisions but I'm genuinely curious as to what's stopping you from putting it up for free on the Mac App Store and implementing something like a 7 day free trial. I just feel like these kinds of utility apps need to be tried out first before first-time users can make an informed decision to purchase :) but that's just totally my opinion heh
Dmitry Obukhov
@justingosan I believe Apple doesn't allow me to do that in MAS, while distributing and supporting trial version via our own web sites will require more development :( But I completely agree with you about trial version and hope someday will have time to implement it, thanks again for your thoughts!

@atherkildsen @justingosan Isn't this pretty much what is coming in macOS Sierra?
Dmitry Obukhov
Hi Product Hunters! I'm so excited to launch Paste 2 and I'm looking forward for your feedback ;)

@stel2k Huge fan of Paste. Believe me when I say this: I cannot live without it!
Dmitry Obukhov
@waisybabu happy to hear that, thank you so much!

***NEVER MIND, your support team emailed me and, unfortunately, there isn't a way to export Pinboards from the beta app to the MAS version. Awesome product, congrats on the launch!*** @stel2k I've been using the beta version of Paste 2 for months now and it's a great update! Definitely worth the $10. Quick question: do I need to uninstall the beta version or export my Pinboards before installing the Mac App Store version of Paste 2? I'd hate to lose my existing Pinboards. Thanks!

What a brilliant piece of software this is. Shoutout to Dmitry for giving us this awesome Update for free! It's easy to code a Clipboard Manager and it's not rocket science to create a good one. But the entire execution of Paste is absolutely perfect, making it a textbook example for UX & UI design.
Dmitry Obukhov
@gopietz Thanks! I've tried to make Paste looks and feels like a part of the OS, really happy to hear that you like it!

@neoberg I think apples spotlight pales in comparison to to the power of Alfred.

I've been beta testing this version for a few months. I think this is the best clipboard manager you can get. It's amazingly improved my workflows and increased productivity. UI is great and it's not disruptive(unlike v1), the clipboard bar slides from the bottom and it's very easy to pick from the history. I've also found a use for a snippet manager, I store email signatures there, to paste to various email clients I use. I'm a fan, highly recommended.

Looks fantastic! But $10 price (no free trial) tag makes me wanna stick to my free Jumpcut.
Karthik Kamalakannan
@amitsonawane Close your eyes, and buy it. You won't regret.
Dmitry Obukhov
@amitsonawane you can try it and refund on MAS if you don't like it ;) Also it's a free update for the first version.
Karthik Kamalakannan
Have been beta testing Paste for a while, and I love it like nothing else. Paste has saved me time like no other app. I'm not a cloud-clipboard guy, considering the data that's being sent to the cloud using these apps. Instead, Paste does one job super good, which is to make Clipboard searchable, right on your Mac. HUGE HUGE HUGE Fan.
Dmitry Obukhov
@imkarthikk I am so glad that you like it!
Nick Nish
Free update @stel2k?! Also been a beta tester for Paste 2. When I bought Paste I was thrown: "$10 for a fricken' clipboard manager? I already owned Alfred and I used Jumpcut." But man is the UX sweet - It's been my secret weapon since. It's so ingrained in my workflow that I don't even notice it moving up and down from my field of vision. I've even had people stop me, asking, "Wait! What's that bar?" and I don't notice it. A perfect example of, "easily found when looking for it, and invisible when you're not". All around a wonderful product to use. Thanks Dmitry!
Dmitry Obukhov
@nickjnish thanks for your feedback! It's a free update for the first version, did you have it?
Mike Coutermarsh
Bought it! Really nice. I've been using Flycut for YEARS. Paste is like a more modern feature rich version. For devs if you're going to use this. In preferences you can change paste to always use plain text. You'll also want to install the paste helper to auto paste into whatever app you're currently using.
Dmitry Obukhov
@mscccc thanks for pointing to Paste Helper, forgot to add this to the description but hope Initial Setup will help everyone to install it ;)
Burak Can
av yis <3 has been using it since the first beta. Finally it's here :)
Dmitry Obukhov
@neoberg thanks for help in testing :) I am happy that you like it!
Sam Felsenthal
Paste is the best! I set up a folder with the million different calendly events we use at Pana.
Dmitry Obukhov
@sfelsey thanks for feedback! nice use case :)
Mike Coutermarsh
Love the details. This is what it looks like when copying from iterm
Patrick Thompson
I've been using the beta for a while and it's great. Paste is the most valuable Mac app I've ever used. I use it every day, all day. For those who are hesitant on purchasing it, don't be. This app is very well made and worth more than $10 in my opinion. Plus, you can ask for a refund if you really don't like it... Thanks for the free upgrade!
Dmitry Obukhov
@unseenvision thanks so much for feedback!
Chris
I, too, was initially hesitant to pay $10 for a clipboard manager back when v1 came out, but I'll echo the general sentiment here: Paste is a godsend. Everything about it (the UI, the customizability, the speed) makes me more productive. And the snippet feature of v2 is great! No more hunting around for those bits of code or text that you use all of the time (but that are too long or tiresome to type manually). If you're second guessing yourself, buy it... I haven't looked back since :)
John Alexander
How do I update from Paste 1?
Harrison Tan
@johnalxndr Mine's prompted me to update on relaunch. I did install it directly from the website and not through the App Store which could make a difference.
Dmitry Obukhov
@johnalxndr @harrisontanh something strange happens with AppStore.. restarting or refreshing the updates tab should help as well
Scott Williams
Dmitry, I purchased v1 and love it. Clicked on the link to App Store from your site and it let's me "open" the app, but when I do, it's still v1. It does show as v2 in the App Store. Is it a paid upgrade? If so, do I need to delete my v1 app and purchase v2? EDIT: I deleted the app then went back to the App Store, installed it and confirmed that it is v2.
Dmitry Obukhov
@scottwwilliams you can just restart or reload App Store app, anyway glad to hear the you've finally started using it :)
Swaathi Kakarla
Love the app and even more in love with the update! I was just thinking how awesome it would be to save my clips. Lo and behold, it comes out in this one! One of the best apps I would not mind spending $10 on. :)
Jesse Ditson
I've been using paste for a very long time, after striking out on features for nearly every other clipboard manager. I don't get the balk at the $10 price tag, seems incredibly reasonable for something that you use multiple times a day. Stoked to see it hit 2.0, keep up the good work!

I've been using Paste 2 in beta and it is now an essential part of my workflow. It's gorgeous and easy to use. It stays out of the way until you need it and then disappears again. It feels like something Apple built into the OS. Similar to not having TextExpander running, my Mac feels broken if it's not running and I try to use it. I highly encourage everyone to buy it and use it for a day. You can refund it...but you won't.
Paul Fowler
New update just made the best clipboard app even better! I've loved using Paste 1, but am really chuffed with the new update, it is such a well made, good looking app. I have a 5 finger tap set up through BetterTouchTool to trigger the Paste 2 hotkey, and it just flows so well to tap my trackpad, Paste slides up from the bottom, I can instantly start typing to search for a clipboard item, then tap again and it just slides back down, awesome app, and worth every bit of the asking price, definitely one of my must have apps.
Dmitry Obukhov
@macgeekpaul thanks! I really like how users integrate Paste with other apps and I'm going to implement some API for other developers.
Mikka Luster
I've already paid Alfred for the Powerpack option, which includes an extended clipboard which, unlike some other solutions, works with the new shared Clipboard between devices in macOS Sierra/iOS 10. Does Paste 2 support the shared clipboard?
Dmitry Obukhov
@legerdemain Universal Clipboard syncs clipboards across devices while Paste keeps everything organized ;)
Mikka Luster
@stel2k Good, since some solutions seem to hook UIPasteboard in a way that won't simply add whatever I copy on my iPad, for example, to the list. Buying.
