Copypastik needs Accessibility permission for the global hotkey and for instant paste into the previously active app.

Clipboard history is kept in memory for the current app session.
Does it upload clipboard content?
No. Copypastik uses no account, cloud sync, analytics, or network service.
Does it paste rich text or files?
