Anything on your clipboard, Markdown out.
Paste is a native Mac menu-bar app. Copy a paragraph from a web page, an email, or a doc, press ⌃⌥⌘V — and the clipboard becomes clean Markdown. Paste it with ⌘V.
Tables become tables, links and formatting are kept, tracking junk is stripped. Plain text is left untouched. Everything runs on your Mac — nothing is uploaded.

How it works
A web paragraph, an email, a table, a doc — whatever's on your clipboard as rich text or HTML.
Paste converts the clipboard in place. A quick confirmation flashes; then it's ready. (Not ⇧⌘V — that stays your app's paste-and-match-style.)
GFM tables, links, headings, lists and code preserved; nav, tracking pixels and empty links stripped. Plain text passes through untouched.
The Markdown is on your clipboard — drop it into your notes, an issue, a commit, anywhere. Runs entirely on your Mac.
The promise
You paste from the web into your notes twenty times a day and fight styling every time. Paste makes it one keystroke — the daily companion to Web Clipper and Drop Converter, for the copy in your clipboard right now.
Why
Rich text carries fonts, colours and hidden HTML wherever it lands. Paste keeps useful structure such as links, headings, lists and tables, while removing presentation markup and tracking elements.
