Paster Terms of Use

Last updated: 2026-09-02

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your use of Paster (“the App”, “we”, “us”, or “our”).

Agreement

By downloading, accessing, or using the App, you agree to these Terms and to Apple’s applicable App Store terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

The App is distributed through the Mac App Store. Unless we provide a separate custom end-user license agreement, the Apple Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement applies to your use of the App:

App Purpose

Paster is a menu bar clipboard manager and screenshot tool for macOS. It keeps a local history of what you copy, captures and annotates the screen, reads colours off the screen, pins images above other windows, and provides a whiteboard canvas with the same annotation tools.

Price

Paster is free. There are no in-app purchases, no subscriptions, and no paid tiers, so nothing in these Terms concerns billing, renewal, or refunds.

Your Content

Everything Paster records — clipboard contents, screenshots, annotations, whiteboards, and pinned images — is yours, stays on your Mac, and is never transmitted anywhere. See the Privacy Policy below.

You are responsible for what you copy, capture, annotate, export, and share using the App. You represent that you have the rights and permissions needed for that content, and you agree not to use the App to infringe copyrights, privacy rights, publicity rights, confidentiality obligations, or other rights of others.

We claim no ownership of anything you create with or capture through the App.

Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Use the App for unlawful, harmful, infringing, abusive, or deceptive purposes.
  • Capture, record, or share screen content you are not permitted to capture, record, or share — including other people’s private communications, confidential material, or protected work.
  • Reverse engineer, modify, or redistribute the App except where allowed by law.
  • Use the App in a way that damages, disables, or interferes with the App, macOS, or Apple services.

Feature Availability

Some features depend on device capability, macOS version, and permissions you grant. Screen capture and screen colour picking require macOS Screen Recording permission; saving a file and revealing it in Finder use the system save panel. Denying or revoking a permission disables the feature that needs it, and nothing else.

Paster requires macOS 14 or later. We may change, add, remove, or limit features where needed for reliability, legal, business, or technical reasons.

Clipboard History and Retention

The App keeps a bounded local history: by default clips older than 30 days are removed, and no more than 1,000 clips are kept, whichever limit applies first. Favourited clips and clips behind a pin currently on screen are exempt. Content that an app marks confidential using the nspasteboard.org convention is never recorded at all.

History is convenience storage, not a backup. We are not responsible for content removed by this retention policy, lost to a crash, or lost when the App or its data is deleted. Keep anything you need to keep somewhere you intend to keep it.

Privacy

Paster makes no network connections of any kind. There is no account, no sync, no telemetry, and no server. Our Privacy Policy explains what the App stores locally and why:

Third-Party Services

None. The App integrates only with macOS itself — the pasteboard, ScreenCaptureKit, and the system save panel — and uses no analytics, advertising, attribution, or tracking services.

Disclaimer of Warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the App is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, compatible with every app or file type, or suitable for every use case.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost data, lost content, lost profits, or business interruption arising from or related to your use of the App.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some limitations may not apply to you.

Termination

You may stop using the App at any time by deleting it, which also deletes everything it stored. We may stop distributing or updating the App, or change or remove features, as described above.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The latest version will be posted at this URL with an updated date. Continued use of the App after a change means you accept the updated Terms.
