Paste multiple items,
in order, on Mac.

Sequential paste lets you queue several clipboard items and paste them one after another instead of copying and pasting one at a time. Clipboard AI gives your Mac three ways to do it - Paste All, Paste One by One, and Copy as One - and all three are free.

01 · The idea

What is sequential paste?

Your clipboard normally holds one thing. So moving five answers into five form fields means five round trips: copy, switch, paste, switch back. Sequential paste kills the round trips - you collect the clips once, then paste them in order without ever going back.

Made for forms. Name, email, address, tax ID, IBAN - queue them and step through the fields.
Made for lists. Paste a whole set of links, snippets, or answers into a doc in one go.
Works with collections. Keep an invoice kit or reply set saved, then paste the whole thing.

02 · Three modes

Three ways to paste multiple clips.

Pick the mode that fits the job. All three live in the same place: select clips in the ⌘⇧V panel or the All Clips window, then choose how they come out.

Step-by-step guide. Paste several clips at once on Mac in the Help Center.
Every shortcut. The Mac keyboard shortcut cheat sheet covers all three modes.
Paste All IN ORDER

Pastes every selected clip one after another, top to bottom. One click, whole list.

Paste One by One ⌘V QUEUE

Queues the selection. Each Command V inserts the next clip, and a small HUD shows what is coming.

Copy as One MERGE

Merges the selection into a single clip, so five snippets become one block you paste once.

03 · How to

How to paste multiple items at once on Mac.

Three steps, no setup beyond installing the app. Works in any app you can type into, because Clipboard AI pastes with a simulated Command V.

1
Open your history. Press ⌘⇧V for the floating panel, or open All Clips from the menu bar.
2
Select your clips. Pick the clips in the order you want them to come out.
3
Choose the mode. Paste All, Paste One by One, or Copy as One. Done.
🆚 The honest comparison

Sequential paste is rare on Mac. Pastebot pioneered it as a paid, Mac-only app, and most other clipboard managers skip it entirely.

Clipboard AI includes all three paste modes free on every plan, and pairs them with an iPhone app and sync, so the list you build on your phone is the list you paste on your Mac.

FAQ

Sequential paste, explained.

What is sequential paste?+

Sequential paste means queuing several clipboard items and pasting them one after another instead of one at a time. In Clipboard AI on Mac, you select the clips once and either paste them all in order or step through the queue, with each Command V inserting the next clip.

How do I paste multiple items at once on Mac?+

Open Clipboard AI with Command Shift V or from the menu bar, select several clips, then choose Paste All. The clips paste one after another, in order, into the app you were using. It works anywhere you can type.

Can I paste items one at a time with Command V?+

Yes. Choose Paste One by One and Clipboard AI queues your selection. Every time you press Command V, the next clip in the queue is inserted, and a small heads-up display shows what is coming next. It is ideal for filling forms field by field.

Is sequential paste free in Clipboard AI?+

Yes. Paste All, Paste One by One, and Copy as One are free for everyone on Mac, on every plan. Some competing Mac apps charge for sequential paste; in Clipboard AI it is part of the free tier.

Does sequential paste work on iPhone?+

Batch and sequential paste are Mac-only, because iOS does not let apps simulate paste keystrokes. On iPhone, the Clipboard AI paste keyboard gets you close: your saved clips sit in every text field, so inserting several items is a tap each rather than a copy-switch-paste round trip.

Stop pasting
one thing at a time.
