About Paste2SSH

Paste2SSH is a free macOS menu-bar app for the specific annoyance of running Claude Code or Codex on a remote server while looking at the bug on your own Mac. Normally showing the agent what you see means saving the screenshot, scp-ing it up, inventing a filename that will not collide, copying the remote path and pasting it in — five steps that are individually trivial and collectively enough friction that you skip the screenshot and type a paragraph instead. Paste2SSH watches the clipboard, and the moment an image lands it uploads to your SSH host using the config, keys and ssh-agent you already have, then puts the remote file path on your clipboard. By the time you switch to the terminal, ⌘V pastes a path the agent can read. It handles more than screenshots — drag any file onto the window and a PDF, log, CSV or database dump goes to the same remote folder with the path returned. The app is six screens: an on/off switch, host switching, a hundred recent paths you can re-copy when the agent loses context, hosts read from your existing ~/.ssh/config, a remote-add form that writes a normal Host block, and settings for folder, filename pattern, opt-in cleanup and a connection test. There is no cloud, no account, no license check and no telemetry — the connection goes straight from your Mac to your server. It was built by Norbert Kiss as one of twelve small products he committed to shipping in 2026.
