| 109 | + <h2>The Paste experience, free and open source</h2> |
| 110 | + <p>Pesty keeps a history of everything you copy and brings it back with a keystroke. Press the global shortcut and a color-coded strip slides up from the bottom of your screen. Pick a clip with the arrow keys, press Return, and it pastes straight into the app you were using. It is a native SwiftUI reimplementation of the <a href="https://pasteapp.io">Paste</a> app — and it is free.</p> |
