Starts with a 7-day free trial, no credit card required.
Stay in research mode
When you find something useful, just copy it. A passage from a paper, a link from the web, a note from a document, or a screenshot of a diagram. Pastea keeps it available while you continue researching.
Research collections
Start a collection for a topic or project and send new copies directly into it as you work. Your quotes, notes, links, and screenshots stay together instead of getting buried among unrelated clipboard history.
Find it again
You shouldn’t need to remember exactly where you found something.
Search your clipboard history and narrow results by content type, source app, date, or even text length. Pastea can also search text recognized inside screenshots and images.
Keep the context
Finding an excerpt is useful. Understanding where it came from is even better.
Pastea keeps the origin of copied material accessible, so when you need more context, you can jump back to the source instead of retracing your research from memory.
