Setup

Permissions are explained before you grant them

Copy Paste Manager needs macOS Accessibility permission to paste selected items into other apps and return focus correctly. Automation permission may appear when pasting into another app. The help guide shows what each permission does and how to fix it if macOS blocks a workflow.

Your clipboard stays yours

No cloud sync. No accounts. Clipboard content never leaves your Mac. Optional local analytics track usage patterns only — never what you copied. Screen sharing privacy automatically hides the popup during calls and recordings.
