- Paste your key into Enter license key and activate it.
The status changes from Unlicensed to Pro Active. You need an internet connection for this step only.
Use Pastily on more than one computer
One licence key works on as many devices as you chose at checkout. Activate the same key on each computer, whether it runs macOS, Windows or Linux.
Move Pastily to a new computer

Getting started with Pastily
Install Pastily, activate your licence key in Settings, then press Cmd+Shift+B on Mac or Ctrl+Shift+B on Windows and Linux to open your clipboard history. Everything you copy from then on is saved on your own computer and can be searched and copied again.
How to install Pastily on Mac
Download the Pastily .dmg from pastily.app, open it and drag Pastily into your Applications folder. One universal build works on both Apple silicon and Intel Macs, and it is signed and notarized by Apple, so macOS opens it without security warnings.
Privacy, offline storage and auto-expiring clips
Pastily stores your clipboard history in a local database on your own computer. There is no account and no cloud sync, so your clips are never uploaded. For sensitive clips such as passwords, set an auto-expire timer of up to 24 hours and the clip deletes itself.
