Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 16, 2026

ClipKitty is a clipboard history manager for macOS built by Juliette Pluto. This policy explains how ClipKitty handles your data.

The short version

ClipKitty does not collect, transmit, or share any of your data. Everything stays on your Mac.

Data storage

ClipKitty stores your clipboard history (text, images, links, files, and colors) in a local database on your Mac at:

~/Library/Application Support/ClipKitty/

This data never leaves your device. There is no cloud sync, no remote backup, and no server-side component.

Data collection

ClipKitty collects no data whatsoever:

Network access

ClipKitty makes outbound network requests only when fetching link preview metadata (titles and icons) for URLs in your clipboard history. This uses Apple's built-in LinkPresentation framework. No clipboard content is sent to any server controlled by ClipKitty.

Clipboard access

ClipKitty monitors the macOS system clipboard to record items you copy. It respects concealed clipboard items (e.g. passwords from password managers) and skips them automatically.

Third-party services

ClipKitty does not integrate with any third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services.

Data deletion

You can delete your entire clipboard history at any time from the Settings screen, by removing the ClipKitty data directory, or by uninstalling the app.

Children's privacy

ClipKitty does not knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children under 13.
