Where Does Pastebot Store Clippings?
Pastebot keeps its clipping library in Application Support, with preferences in the standard plist beside it.
Last updated
Pastebot stores clipboard history in a library inside Application Support. Clippings, filters, and custom pasteboards persist there between launches. Preferences for HotKeys and exclusions live in the usual plist location.
Exact database filenames have changed across Pastebot majors, so confirm before scripting backups. Sync between Macs flows through iCloud rather than these files. Copy the folder with Pastebot quit for local migration.
Where Pastebot stores this, by platform
~/Library/Application Support/Pastebot
Clipping library and filters live here. Preferences sit in ~/Library/Preferences under the Pastebot identifier. Back up with the app quit.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move Pastebot history to a new Mac?
Copy the Application Support folder with Pastebot quit on both machines. iCloud sync covers going forward. Large image clippings dominate the size.
Why is the Pastebot folder so large?
Image and file clippings accumulate in the library. Trim history depth in preferences to cap growth. Blacklist password managers to keep secrets out.
