The ECPaste Story: From Copy-Paste Chaos to Productivity Paradise

January 27, 2025
by Ajnas N B, Founder

How a simple message from a frustrated friend sparked the creation of a tool that's now saving thousands of hours every week.

Can you help me? I'm losing my mind copying emails and prompts every day.

That was the message I got from my friend Josna, who works in HR. She had been using AI tools and templates to generate candidate emails, rejection messages, and onboarding workflows—but every single day, it was the same exhausting struggle:

  • 🔁 Copy
  • 🔁 Paste
  • 🔁 Tweak
  • 🔁 Repeat

And then it hit me.

She wasn't the only one struggling with this. As I started asking around, the pattern became crystal clear:

  • 🔹 My developer friend shared how he constantly reuses utility code snippets across projects
  • 🔹 A support rep said they keep a Notepad file open to copy canned responses
  • 🔹 Even I was digging through old notes to find that one perfect AI prompt I'd used last week

⚡ I knew something had to change.

What is ECPaste?

So I built ECPaste — a browser-native snippet manager designed to end the copy-paste chaos once and for all. It's not just for coders — it's for HR professionals, writers, AI enthusiasts, marketers, students, and anyone who types the same stuff more than once.

✅ And yes, it's completely free.
