Pastemind remembers everything you copy and finds it by what it was about. Ask “when does my plane leave” and the flight confirmation comes up, though it never said “plane”.

Type one, or watch:

A replay of the real app’s results for these searches.

See it in 36 seconds.

Everything you copy, as itself.

Code comes highlighted, colors as swatches, links with their site, pictures big enough to see. Press ⌘S to keep any of them as a snippet.

It sees.
It listens.
It reads.

Searching “owl” finds a photo of an owl that has no text in it

Photos, by what’s in them.

Type “owl”, in English or in your own language, and the owl comes up. Pictures are understood by the same model as your words, along with any text written in them.

Voice memos, by what’s said.

Copy a recording and search for what was in it. “call the dentist” finds New Recording 12.

Searching “call the dentist” finds a voice memo

A scanned residential lease. The line “Rent is due on the first day of each month” is marked.

Scans, read on your Mac.

A scanned lease has no text at all, only pictures of pages. Pastemind reads them, up to 50 pages, and finds the line you meant. Long documents are searched all the way through, not just their first page.

⌘Space, but it gets you.

Apps and System Settings, typos forgiven. Files by name, or by what’s in them: “zebra” finds a photo called IMG_4021.jpg. Press ⇧⌘C and the same panel turns into your clipboard.

Typing “sfari” finds Safari — “sfari” is close enough.

Searching files for “zebra” finds IMG_4021.jpg by its content — Found by what’s in it.

And the little things.

⌘S: Keep a clip as a snippet, in folders you can reorder by dragging.
Drag: Pull any clip out, into Finder, a chat or an upload field. It arrives as a file.
⇧: Tap Shift for Quick Look. Select text right inside a picture and copy it.
⌘P: Pin what you paste every day. Pinned clips never expire.
⇧↩: Paste as plain text, without the formatting.
⌘1…9: Paste a row straight away, no arrows needed.

Nothing leaves
your Mac.

The model runs right here. A small AI model, Google’s EmbeddingGemma 2, on your Mac’s own chip. Your clips never touch a server.
No account. No cloud. No tracking. This site doesn’t track you either.
Open source. MIT licensed: read every line on GitHub.

It goes online for two things: to download its model once (246 MB, then 226 MB more for pictures), and to check for a new version once a day, which you can turn off. It never keeps passwords copied from password managers.

Copy anything.
Find it later.
