Pastey Extension
FreeAbout Pastey Extension
Pastey is an AI-powered browser extension that reimagines the standard copy-paste workflow. Instead of just being a clipboard, it is a context-aware tool woven into your browser flow. By holding the ⌘+V shortcut, users can access 'Smart Paste,' which adapts text to its destination, or use 'Inline Rewrite' to transform the tone of selected text instantly. It includes a searchable history, automatic detection of 2FA codes, and data masking for sensitive information like credit cards. Built with a local-first approach, it ensures that clipboard data and context are stored and indexed privately on the user's device.
How to Use
Install the Pastey extension and use your browser as normal. To use its AI features, hold ⌘+V (or Ctrl+V) to trigger the context-aware paste menu. To rewrite text, select the existing text and paste over it to instantly change its tone or polish the writing.
Key Features
- Smart Paste: Adapts copied text to fit destinations like email, code, or docs.
- Inline Rewrite: Instantly transforms the tone of selected text upon pasting.
- Searchable Memory: A clean list of everything ever copied for easy searching.
