Frequently Asked Questions
Practical answers about local clipboard history, redaction, quarantine, and app-level controls on macOS.
Does cliiip work offline?
Yes. cliiip is designed as an offline-first app. Clipboard indexing, pattern classification, quarantine matching, and encrypted persistence run locally on your Mac.
Does my clipboard history leave my Mac?
By default, cliiip does not transmit your clipboard data. All history is saved locally on your device and is not synced to a cloud service. You maintain full control over your data.
Will redaction and quarantine catch every credential?
No automated tool is infallible. Redaction and quarantine are safeguards for recognized patterns (like API keys and credit cards), but we recommend combining them with bundle exclusions for password managers.
Which macOS versions run cliiip?
cliiip requires macOS 14 or later.
