Is NotchStar clipboard history private
NotchStar’s clipboard history stays on your Mac, in memory. It is not saved to disk, not synced and not sent to a server. It is cleared when you quit the app. NotchStar also skips copies that a password manager marks as concealed.
Questions people ask
Does NotchStar send my clipboard anywhere? No. The privacy page says clipboard history stays in memory on your Mac. The optional anonymous usage count, which is off unless you say yes, does not contain your clipboard.
Is there an account? No.
Can someone read the history from disk? There is no history file on disk to read. While the app runs, the list exists in its memory, as it does for any running app.
Does it record passwords? Not from a password manager that marks them concealed. See password manager copies.
How do I wipe it? Quit NotchStar. See how to clear clipboard history.
What you should still do
Any clipboard history records what you copy. If you copy a secret from an app that does not mark it as concealed, it sits in the list until you quit or 50 newer items push it out. If you copied something sensitive, quit NotchStar.
Limits
Screen sharing or a recording of the notch would show what is in the list when it is open. Close the tab first.
