What the app keeps

Hush Clipboard keeps a history of what you copy, so you can paste it again: text, links, images and files you copied, with the name of the app they came from. It is stored in the app's own folder on your Mac. You choose how long it is kept, by days, by number of items or by size, or only until you quit.

What it refuses to keep

• Anything a password manager marks as concealed or transient.
• Anything copied while a password field has focus.
• Anything copied from an app you exclude. The common password managers are excluded from the start.

Items that look like secrets anyway, such as API keys or card numbers, are flagged so you can delete them.

Search and Ask

Searching by meaning uses word models built into macOS. "Ask your clipboard" uses Apple's on-device language model. Both run on your Mac. Neither uses Apple's Private Cloud Compute or any other server.

Sharing with your own Macs, only if you switch it on

You can share pins and recent copies with your other Macs on the same local network. It is off until you turn it on, works only with Macs you pair by code, and goes directly between them. No server of ours is involved. You can also export pins to a file, or keep them in a folder you choose; if that folder is synced by iCloud Drive or another service, that service syncs it as it does any other file.

Permissions the app asks for

• Accessibility (Device Control and Data Access on macOS 27): optional, so choosing an item pastes it into the app you were using, and so an item can remember the window it came from. Without it, choosing an item copies it.
• Local network: only if you turn on sharing with your own Macs.

What is collected

Nothing. There is no account, no analytics, no crash reporting, no advertising and no tracking. Nobody, including the developer, can see your clipboard.

This website

This site uses no cookies and no analytics scripts. Like any website, the hosting provider's servers see the address a request comes from when they answer it.

If you write to support

If you email support@hushclipboard.com or use the form on the support page, your message and address are used only to answer you. The form is delivered as an email by Resend, an email delivery service.

The launch list

If you enter your email address to hear about the launch, it is sent to us as an email (delivered by Resend) and used for one purpose: a single message on the day Hush Clipboard is released, plus the note confirming you are on the list. It is not shared or used for anything else. Reply "remove" to any message and it is deleted.

Children

The app collects nothing from anyone, of any age.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version is posted here with a new date.
