# Pesty

> Pesty is a free, open-source clipboard manager for macOS — a native SwiftUI alternative to the Paste app. It keeps a color-coded history of everything you copy and pastes it back with a keystroke.

Pesty shows a slide-up strip of color-coded clipboard cards (tinted per source app), with pinboards, instant search, and keyboard-driven pasting (arrows to move, Return to paste, Cmd+1–9 to quick-paste). It supports text, links, images, files, rich text, and colors. Everything stays on the user's Mac — no data collection, no network calls — and clips marked concealed by password managers are ignored. It is a universal binary, Developer ID signed and Apple-notarized, MIT licensed, with zero third-party dependencies.
