flincth
Download for Mac
Paste asks for a subscription and leaves the sorting to you. Flincth keeps a clipboard history for each kind of work on its own, and switching to it also moves every app’s window into place and hides the apps you don’t need. One price, paid once.
Everything you copy lands in one history. Keeping a project’s snippets together means pinning or dragging each one onto a pinboard yourself, and using it past the trial takes a subscription or a $99.99 lifetime plan.
A setup names the apps for a kind of work and the region each one belongs to. Switch to it and they all move at once, and the clipboard shows only what you copied for that work.

Paste is a clipboard you keep tidy yourself. Flincth tidies the clipboard by setting up your work.

Paste is $29.99 a year after a 7-day trial; the App Store also offers $3.99 a month and a $99.99 lifetime plan. It keeps images, files and colours too and can sync through your own iCloud. Flincth’s clipboard keeps text. US prices, checked on 30 September 2026.
A clipboard you have to sort is one more job. Flincth sorts it by knowing what you are working on.
Coding, writing, meetings: each setup knows its apps and where they go. No more dragging the same windows into the same places every morning.
Each setup keeps its own clipboard history, so client notes never turn up in your code and yesterday’s research stays with the research.
Flincth never asks for Accessibility access. It moves windows through the “Flincth Apply” shortcut you install once in Apple Shortcuts.
“Not Flincth” puts your desk back exactly as it was, one click away. Your setups and clipboard history never leave your Mac.
Need images and files on every device in your clipboard? Paste does that. Flincth keeps the text you copy with the work it belongs to, sets up the desk around it, and asks for one payment.
Yes, if you use Paste’s pinboards to keep projects apart. Flincth does that sorting for you: text you copy belongs to the setup you are working in, and switching setups brings its history forward with its windows.
No. Flincth is a one-time purchase on the Mac App Store, and updates are included.
Flincth is sandboxed and never asks for Accessibility access. It moves windows through the “Flincth Apply” shortcut, which you install once in Apple Shortcuts. The app walks you through it.
No. It places ordinary windows on the current desktop and does not move them between Mission Control desktops or into or out of full screen.
No. Flincth applies your layout when you switch setups. It does not watch for drags or rearrange windows afterwards.
One switch for the windows. One clipboard for the work.
