PasteMax is designed for one thing, and one thing only: to quickly load up a project's code, and then paste full or partial code repositories into online tools like ChatGPT, Gemini or Claude to leverage the most powerful models like o1-pro or Gemini 2.5 Pro, but also to generate high-level plans and checklists for how to tackle specific problems.
Why PasteMax?
PasteMax was built to address three major pain points with other tools:
- ✅ Cross-Platform Freedom: Works flawlessly on Windows, Mac, and Linux. No more being locked into a specific operating system!
- 🔓 100% Open Source: You can see exactly how it works, contribute to its development, and customize it to your heart's content.
- 🎯 Focused & Efficient: No unnecessary features, just pure code-understanding power.
