Clipboard content is processed and stored on your Mac. This macOS release does not send clipboard content to PasteLane servers or iCloud; iCloud sync is not available in this release.

Privacy & Security

Every ⌘C lands at the top of the queue. Text, links, images and files, with nothing to turn on.

PasteLane does not require an account. External websites open only after you choose a link.

Clipboard history

Basic · Clear history on shutdown: Removes the queue when PasteLane quits and when you log out of the Mac.

Clipboard history survives logout and restart. Stored encrypted on disk. Disabling wipes existing persistent data.

Saves history to disk in encrypted form and requires Touch ID or your password to unlock at launch.

Sensitive

Sensitive clipboard previews stay masked and are never exposed in accessibility labels or diagnostics.

Masks clipboard content in the queue and preview.

Recognize text in images (OCR)

Recognized text is processed on-device and makes copied images searchable.

Privacy & Security

Pause Monitoring

Temporarily stops PasteLane from capturing new clipboard items.

Lock History

Hides the saved clipboard history until you authenticate again.

Delete selected

Removes non-pinned clipboard items from the queue.

Security also depends on your Mac account, device and system updates. Sensitive-content detection can miss items, and PasteLane cannot protect data from someone with access to your unlocked Mac.
