What “Paste for Android” actually means
People typing paste app Android usually just left iOS. They want: a history of copies, pins for snippets, paste without opening a separate window, and not another subscription. They do not always want iCloud-style sync — and many specifically do not want the clipboard in the cloud.
Soloclip matches the on-device half of that job. It does not match Paste’s design language, membership, or multi-device library. That is intentional.

Paste for Android FAQ
Is this the official Paste app?
No. Paste is made by a different company and is not on Android. Soloclip is not affiliated with Paste.
Does Soloclip sync to my Mac?
No. Cloud clipboard sync is an explicit non-goal. Clips stay on the phone.
Does it handle images like Paste?
No. Soloclip keeps text. Pro can grab the text out of a screenshot, but pictures are not stored.
