Local by default
Cliplane does not require cloud sync or an account for core clipboard history.
Cliplane privacy
Clipboard history is sensitive. Cliplane treats it that way.
Cliplane keeps clipboard history local by default, gives you app exclusions and deletion controls, and avoids sending clipboard contents through support or diagnostics by default.
Encrypted local payloads
Clipboard payloads are protected locally with app encryption material stored through macOS Keychain APIs.
No raw clipboard diagnostics
Diagnostics use operation names, statuses, counts, and safe metadata instead of raw clipboard text, image bytes, file names, or copied URLs.
Privacy-safe support
Feedback email drafts include app, version, and macOS context, and explicitly do not attach clipboard history.
Policy notes
How Cliplane handles private clipboard workflows
Clipboard history stays local by default
Cliplane is designed as a local-first Mac clipboard app. Core clipboard history does not require an account, hosted sync, or a web dashboard.
Local payloads use app encryption
The app stores clipboard payloads locally and protects them with encryption material handled through macOS Keychain APIs. Decrypted content is used only for the requested app operation, such as preview, copy, paste, or restore.
App exclusions are checked before saving
You can exclude sensitive apps from future capture. Copies from excluded apps are rejected before clipboard payloads, previews, or searchable rows are saved.
Deletion controls remove stored content
Cliplane includes controls to delete individual clips, clear scoped history, or clear all local content. Deleted clips are not returned in search results.
Diagnostics avoid raw clipboard data
Diagnostics are limited to privacy-safe information such as operation names, statuses, counts, clip kinds, and generic error context. Raw clipboard text, image bytes, copied file names, copied URLs, search queries, tokens, passwords, and full local user paths are not diagnostic payloads.
Feedback email is privacy-safe by default
Feedback drafts go to [email protected] and include app, version, and macOS context when available. They do not attach clipboard history, screenshots, diagnostics, clip IDs, database paths, or backup paths.
Backups are local controls
Backup and recovery features are designed for local archives and privacy-safe manifests. Backup rows and diagnostics should not display clipboard text, image payloads, or private copied content.
