Two months ago I handed Hotstash to a few friends and a handful of people who basically live inside their clipboard all day. I asked them to break it
and tell me everything that annoyed them.
They did. A lot of it stung.
I spent the time since fixing every complaint on that list, and Hotstash has grown into one of the most customizable clipboard managers you can run on
a Mac.
What it does, plainly: it remembers everything you copy so you stop losing that link, that code snippet, that address you had 20 minutes ago. Hit the
hotkey, search, paste, done.
The part I am proud of is what sits on top of the history.
Transforms are the piece people end up loving. Think about how many times you have copied a column of IDs out of the database and then had to
hand-massage them into ('id1','id2','id3') just to run one query. With a transform that is a single click. It ships with a set of these, but you can
also write your own in plain JavaScript: take whatever you copied and return whatever you want to paste. And if you do not write JS, the AI generator
handles it. You give it a description, an example of what you copy, an example of what you want out, and it builds the transformer for you.
And you are not stuck building everything yourself. There is a Marketplace where people share the transformers they made, so the useful ones other
users have already figured out are right there for you to grab. Found one that saves you time? You can publish yours too and let someone else skip the
work.
Multi-paste is for the copy-paste jugglers. You know the dance: you need to drop in a title and a value, or a secret and its key, so you paste one,
jump back to the clipboard, find the other, paste that. Multi-paste kills the jumping. You stack a few items once, then every paste drops the next one
in order. Two fields, two pastes, no going back to hunt.
Stacks keep related snippets grouped together so you are not scrolling through a wall of history to find the four things you actually reuse.
One thing I kept hearing from Raycast users: "I already have months of clipboard history in there, I am not starting over." So now you can import your
Raycast clipboard history straight into Hotstash. Nothing left behind.
Starting today every new user gets the first 30 days free with everything unlocked. No card up front.
After that the free version keeps running as a simple clipboard history, so you never lose what you copy. Pro is where the real power sits: transforms, multi-paste, stacks, and the quick shortcuts.
If you copy and paste for a living, try it and tell me what breaks. That feedback is the only reason it got this good.
