## What it is
PasteBar is a free, open-source clipboard manager for macOS and Windows built with Tauri, React, and Rust. It offers unlimited clipboard history, searchable clips, collections with PIN protection, and quick pasting from the system menu bar.

## Use cases
- manage unlimited clipboard history on mac and windows
- find a previously copied snippet quickly
- organize frequently pasted text and code snippets
- protect sensitive clipboard items with a pin
- sync clipboard data across devices via cloud storage
- paste saved clips instantly from the menubar

## When to choose
- you want a free, open-source clipboard manager with local storage
- you need unlimited history with search, collections, and notes
- you want privacy-focused clipboard management with passcode protection
- you work on both macOS and Windows and want a consistent tool

## When to avoid
- you need a clipboard manager for Linux
- you require cloud-native clipboard sync built in
- you need a fully mature 1.0 release - the app is still pre-1.0
