Text appears.

SuperPaste uses your active window to write for you. Place your cursor anywhere — email, Slack, a form, code — and the right text shows up instantly.

How it works

Three seconds, start to finish.

No copy-pasting, no app switching, no explaining context. Just press a key.

1

Place your cursor

Click into any text field — an email reply, a Slack message, a form, a code file. Anywhere you'd normally type.

2

Press Option V

SuperPaste takes a single screenshot of your active window and sends it to Claude over an encrypted connection. A subtle indicator shows it's working.

3

Text appears

The response is pasted directly into your field — no ⌘V required. Done before you've moved your hands. Don't like it? ⌘Z undoes it.


Use cases

Wherever you type, it writes.

SuperPaste reads what's already on your screen — the question, the thread, the form — and writes the thing you were about to type.

Mail

Email replies

On your screen: a client asking to move tomorrow's call.

"No problem at all — tomorrow is tight, but I could do Thursday at 2pm or Friday morning. Whichever works best for you."

Slack

Slack answers

On your screen: a teammate's question in a busy thread.

"Yep — fixed in 2.3.1. It was the CSV encoding issue; exports with special characters work now."

Browser

Forms & applications

On your screen: a form field with its label visible.

The answer for that field, written right where your cursor is — no retyping your life story into yet another form.

Code

Code

On your screen: a failing test, a stack trace, or a // TODO.

The fix or implementation at your cursor — it can see the error and the surrounding code.

One hotkey. Zero prompting. If you can click into it, SuperPaste can write into it.


Privacy

One screenshot. Nothing more.

SuperPaste captures exactly what you can already see, sends it once, and discards it. That's the whole story.

What SuperPaste sees

A single screenshot of your active window when you press Option V
The app name and window title
Your personal context, if you've added it in Settings

What SuperPaste never does

Record video or take continuous screenshots
Store screenshots after processing
Access files, keychain, passwords, or background apps
Send keystrokes other than the ⌘V paste when your text is ready

Don't take our word for it — read the code.

Open source

Trust is easier when you can read the code.

SuperPaste is MIT licensed. Every line that touches your screen is public.

Audit it.

The screenshot capture, the API call, the discard — it's all on GitHub. No hidden telemetry, because there's nowhere to hide it.

Compile it yourself, free.

Bring your own Anthropic API key and the app costs nothing, forever.

Or pay $5/month and skip the setup.

The hosted plan covers Claude usage and works the minute the DMG opens. Same code either way.

FAQ

Fair questions.

Why does it need Screen Recording and Accessibility permissions?

Screen Recording is the macOS permission for capturing the active window — one screenshot, only when you press ⌥V. Accessibility lets SuperPaste register the global hotkey and paste at your cursor. It never records video and never reads your keystrokes.

Is my screen data stored anywhere?

No. The screenshot is sent over an encrypted connection, used to generate one response, and discarded. No storage, no training, no logs of your content.

Which apps does it work in?

Anywhere you can place a cursor and ⌘V works: Mail, Slack, every browser, IDEs, Notes — native and Electron apps alike.

What if the output is wrong?

Nothing is sent or submitted — text is just pasted at your cursor. Read it, edit it, or press ⌘Z and it's gone. You're always the last step.

Does it work offline?

No — it needs Claude to think. Offline, pressing ⌥V simply does nothing; you'll see a quiet error and your screen goes nowhere.

What happens after the 7-day trial?

Generation pauses until you subscribe — $5/month, cancel anytime. Nothing is auto-charged; the trial needs no card. Or compile from source with your own API key, free.

Is it really open source?

Yes — MIT licensed, with the full source at github.com/brainsparker/superpaste, including both the app and the server.
