Human-readable release notes for the changes that matter in daily use.

📜
A clear history of the product. These notes follow Pocket Paste from its first working build through the current release. Feature work is separated from reliability, privacy, performance, and data-safety fixes so the shape of each update is easy to follow.
v2.3.0 Latest

Safer backups, leaner storage

Backup and restore now make their scope explicit. You can choose settings, snippets, clipboard data, image assets, large text, and RTF/RTFD content independently. Encryption remains optional, and restore now detects matching items in Trash before asking whether to keep or recover them.

Pocket Paste also keeps the clipboard popup above the Dock, stores small plain text directly in the database, and moves rich or large content to external assets. This keeps large histories more compact without dropping formatting or clipboard data.

v2.2.0

A cleaner finish

The latest pass made Personal Mark imports and appearance switching more predictable.

SVG/WebP import, per-layer visibility, direct System/Light/Dark choices, and an optional always-on-top popup are now easier to understand. Glass Vivid’s palette and bounded list surface were refined as well.

v2.1.0

Sequential paste and Glass Vivid

Two larger pieces came together here: controlled multi-part paste and a more expressive popup theme.

  • Sequential Paste with split-token rules and a Quick Preview entry point.
  • Glass Vivid with readable light/dark variants.
v2.0.0

Major update: files, themes, and personal marks

After a longer refinement cycle, Pocket Paste reached its first major update.

What’s new

  • Screenshot storage, retention controls, WebP optimization, and a managed library.
  • Edge Glow, Glass Vivid, Material Jade Glass, Prism, and customizable Personal Marks.
  • Sequential Paste with token rules, double-tap activation, SVG/WebP import, and System/Light/Dark appearance choices.
v1.9.0

Edge Glow, without the noise

Edge Glow added a little personality without changing the native list underneath. It is optional, bounded, and off by default.

v1.8.0

Screenshot library

Screenshots gained a visible home and clearer storage choices.

  • Automatic retention, a managed Screenshot Library, and WebP optimization.
  • Custom item limits, resolution and file-size reporting, plus Finder and Trash actions.
v1.5.0

Large libraries feel lighter

This release is mostly invisible when it works: several query paths became one database-backed pipeline.

Keyset pagination, searchable metadata, fast filtered counts, and cache-aware preview updates keep a large history responsive while new items arrive.

v1.3.0

Licensing and a better reading experience

The local app experience was connected to the license system while rich text became easier to read.

  • A seven-day trial, Pro and degraded entitlements, offline Ed25519 verification, onboarding, and a focused upgrade window.
  • Readable RTF previews and more forgiving tag creation.
v1.1.0

A more capable daily workflow

This was a broad workflow update for people with a large history and more than one way of working.

  • Important items, bookmarks, and search-token suggestions.
  • Per-app paste profiles, URL rules, custom names, and sensitive-content controls.
v1.0.0

Public preview

The first public preview brought the core loop together:

  • Clipboard history for text, links, images, and files, with app exclusions.
  • Spotlight-style search, quick paste, pinning, and drag-out.
  • Text expansion with folders, tags, fields, and inline images.
v0.6.0

Snippets become a real workspace

Snippets became a small workspace for reusable text and images: folders, tags, reordering, attached images, rich-text paste modes, and a dedicated database migration all arrived here.

v0.5.0

Filters, copy, and drag-out

The popup stopped being only a way to find the newest item.

  • Filters for source app, type, extension, and date.
  • Copy without paste and drag-out for images and files.
v0.3.0

History gets a proper database

SQLite became the source of truth for clipboard history. That gave the app a safer place to grow than a single in-memory collection.

What changed

  • Background writes and cache release under memory pressure.
v0.1.0

The first working build

Pocket Paste started with a small native clipboard history for macOS. The first build covered text, links, images, files, pinning, drag-out, and a first text-expander flow. Recyclable native rows kept longer lists light.
