A lightweight macOS menu bar utility that opens the Spotlight Clipboard History with a single click.
No more pressing Cmd+Space then Cmd+4 — just click the clipboard icon in your menu bar.
- Download
iPaste.dmgfrom Releases - Open the DMG and drag iPaste to Applications
- Launch the app — macOS will show a security warning because the app is not notarized
- Open System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down to find the blocked app message, and click Open Anyway
- Grant Accessibility permission when prompted (System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility)
Why the security warning? iPaste is an open-source app signed with an ad-hoc signature rather than an Apple Developer ID certificate. This is standard for free/open-source macOS utilities. The app is safe to use — you can review the source code yourself.
