Opportunity score
62/100
A high-retention utility with real proof of demand, but constrained by cheap alternatives, platform dependence, and opaque revenue; best viewed as a proven adjacent-niche opportunity rather than a direct clone.
Founder verdict
MAYBE
A proven high-retention utility, but direct cloning is unattractive; the opportunity is in an adjacent Windows/Linux developer or team niche.
What is Paste?
Paste is a mature Apple-ecosystem clipboard manager that turns the default one-item clipboard into a searchable, pin-able, cross-device history. The website emphasizes privacy by design, Apple-native UX, and newer AI integrations with Apple Intelligence, Claude, Codex, and Cursor. It has strong social proof from Apple-ecosystem media and practitioners, a 10-year App Store presence, and clear team expansion intent. Exact MRR, growth, pricing, and team size are not publicly disclosed.
