Ai Clipboard Text Optimizer

A desktop application that automatically optimizes text when you perform three clipboard copies within a 1-second interval. Select and copy text (Ctrl+C or ⌘+C) and then copy again and again within 1 second. The improved text will be copied to your clipboard.

So basically you can use this app to make your text more readable by 3 times copying and pasting.

Download

💾 Download the latest version for Mac, Windows and Linux

⚠️You need an OpenAI API key to use this app. You can get one here. Then open pasteAI settings via Tray Menu and paste your key then restart the app.

Features

  • Automatically detects double-copy clipboard operations
  • Optimizes text formatting instantly
  • Runs silently in the background
  • Cross-platform support

Prerequisites

Before building the application, ensure you have the following installed:

Building from Source

  1. Clone the repository:

    git clone [email protected]:LimTec-de/pasteAi.git
    cd pasteAI
  2. Install dependencies:

    pnpm install
  3. Build the application:

    pnpm tauri build

    The compiled application will be available in the src-tauri/target/release directory.

  4. ⚠️ macOS Users: Remove the quarantine attribute to run it:

    xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/pasteAI.app

    This step is necessary because the app is not signed (right now) and macOS may prevent it from starting.

  2. The app will run in the background
  3. To optimize text:
    • Select and copy text (Ctrl+C or ⌘+C)
    • Immediately copy again and again within 1 second (copy 3 times)
    • The text in your clipboard will be automatically optimized

Development
