Overview

Pastey is an AI-powered browser extension that reimagines the standard copy-paste workflow. Instead of just being a clipboard, it is a context-aware tool woven into your browser flow. By holding the ⌘+V shortcut, users can access 'Smart Paste,' which adapts text to its destination, or use 'Inline Rewrite' to transform the tone of selected text instantly. It includes a searchable history, automatic detection of 2FA codes, and data masking for sensitive information like credit cards. Built with a local-first approach, it ensures that clipboard data and context are stored and indexed privately on the user's device.
