Built for developers who paste first and think about it later.
PasteCloak exists because pasting is the fastest habit in a developer’s day — and the one with the least review. It runs locally, from the menu bar on your Mac (a Windows version is on the way). The app makes no network connections. You download it from this site, or IT installs it, and PasteCloak never sends clipboard content anywhere.
Local by design, not by marketing
Every scan happens on-device. PasteCloak never sends clipboard content anywhere and keeps no clipboard history — it only touches the current clipboard briefly during a paste, then forgets it.
That’s a deliberate constraint, not a limitation we’re working around. A tool built to catch secrets shouldn’t be the thing that stores them.
What we build around
Local-first
PasteCloak never sends clipboard content anywhere. Detection runs on your Mac.
No history, ever
Unlike clipboard managers, PasteCloak never stores what you copy.
Plain language over hype
We say what it catches and what it doesn’t. No absolute claims.
Built for developers
Category-specific detection and custom rules.
