Privacy policy

Last updated: 2026.05.29.


This Privacy Policy explains how Supaste (“Supaste,” “the App,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) handles information when you download, purchase, install, and use the App.

Supaste is designed as a local-first macOS clipboard history app. Your clipboard history is stored on your Mac, not on our servers.


1. What Supaste Is


Supaste is a macOS application that helps you save, organize, search, and reuse your clipboard history.


The App may provide access through a menu bar app, a notch-style panel, and a Library window. Depending on your settings and usage, Supaste may process copied text, links, images, screenshots, files, code snippets, colors, rich text, SVG content, and related metadata.


2. Local-First by Design


Supaste processes and stores clipboard history locally on your Mac.

We do not operate user accounts for the App. We do not provide cloud sync. We do not collect your clipboard history on our servers. We do not use analytics or telemetry to track your usage.


Your local Supaste data may be stored in locations such as:

~/Library/Application Support/Supaste/


Supaste settings and preferences may also be stored using standard macOS storage systems, such as UserDefaults.


3. Information Stored Locally on Your Device


Depending on how you use the App, Supaste may store the following information locally on your Mac:


  • Clipboard content you copy or manually save, such as text, code, links, images, files, rich text, colors, SVG content, and similar items

  • Screenshots or screenshot references, if screenshot capture or folder monitoring is enabled

  • Metadata such as copy timestamps, item type, file information, and, when available, the source application’s bundle identifier

  • User-created collections, categories, favorites, pinned clips, clip shortcuts, filters, notes, reminders, and organization preferences

  • App settings, shortcut preferences, ignored app rules, privacy preferences, retention settings, and capture preferences

  • Locally generated thumbnails, previews, OCR text, optimized or converted image copies, and other supporting data used to display and search your history


This information is stored locally on your Mac and is not sent to us.


4. Clipboard Monitoring


Supaste may monitor the macOS clipboard while the App is running in order to detect new copied items and save them to your local clipboard history.


You can pause clipboard capture, use manual capture mode, change what types of content Supaste saves, or choose apps that should be ignored entirely.


If manual capture mode is enabled, Supaste will only save clipboard content when you explicitly use the configured capture shortcut or action.


Because clipboard content may include sensitive or confidential information, you should only use Supaste in environments where local clipboard history is appropriate for your needs.


5. Screenshots and Folder Monitoring


Supaste may optionally monitor folders such as Desktop or Pictures to detect screenshots or other supported files. This requires macOS permissions that you control.

If you enable screenshot monitoring, Supaste may store screenshot files, screenshot references, thumbnails, OCR text, timestamps, and related metadata locally on your Mac.


You can disable screenshot capture or folder monitoring at any time in the App settings or through macOS permissions.


6. Sensitive Content Detection


By default, Supaste attempts to detect and avoid saving sensitive clipboard content, such as:


  • Passwords

  • API keys

  • Private keys

  • SSH keys

  • Access tokens

  • Credit card numbers

  • .env files

  • Credentials and similar confidential material


Sensitive content detection happens locally on your Mac.


However, automated detection is not perfect. Supaste may fail to detect sensitive content, or it may incorrectly classify non-sensitive content as sensitive.


You can adjust sensitive content settings in the App, pause capture, use manual capture mode, or add apps to Ignored App Rules. If you choose to allow Supaste to save sensitive content, you do so at your own risk.


7. Link Previews and Network Use


Supaste is primarily offline.


When Supaste creates previews for links in your clipboard history, Apple system frameworks such as LinkPresentation may use your internet connection to fetch link metadata, titles, images, icons, or preview information from the relevant website.


We do not receive your clipboard history or link preview data from Apple’s system frameworks. We do not control the privacy practices of third-party websites that may be contacted when link previews are generated.


8. Payment and License Information


Supaste is sold as a one-time purchase through our payment provider, Polar.sh.

When you purchase Supaste, payment, billing, tax, receipt, license key, activation, download access, and related purchase information may be processed by Polar.sh. We do not directly process or store your full payment card details.


Your payment and license-related information is handled according to Polar.sh’s own terms and privacy policy.


We may receive limited purchase-related information from Polar.sh, such as your email address, order status, product purchased, license key status, activation status, download access information, and payment status, where necessary to provide access to the App, support your purchase, prevent abuse, or handle refund and licensing issues.


License Activation


Supaste requires a valid license key to activate and use the App.


License activation and validation may be processed through Polar.sh. During activation or validation, Supaste may send limited license-related information, such as your license key, activation identifier, device label, app version, and license status, to Polar.sh.


Supaste does not send your clipboard history, copied content, screenshots, local categories, search history, or saved clips to Polar.sh during license activation.


9. Data We Do Not Collect


We do not collect or receive:


  • Your clipboard history

  • Your screenshots

  • Your copied text, links, files, images, code, colors, or SVG content

  • Your local categories, collections, pinned clips, favorites, shortcuts, notes, reminders, or search history

  • Analytics or telemetry about how you use the App

  • Personal information through Supaste user accounts, because Supaste does not use user accounts


We may receive limited purchase, license, and support-related information through Polar.sh or through messages you send us, as described in this Privacy Policy.


10. Data Retention


Supaste may let you choose how long local clipboard history is kept, such as 7, 15, 30, or 90 days, or indefinitely.


Favorites, pinned clips, custom categories, collections, clip shortcuts, reminders, settings, and preferences may be retained longer depending on your settings.


You can delete individual items, clear your history, remove favorites or pins, delete custom shortcuts, pause capture, disable screenshot capture, or uninstall the App.


Uninstalling the App may not automatically remove all locally stored files, preferences, caches, generated image copies, or backups created by macOS. If you want to remove all local Supaste data, you may need to delete remaining files from Supaste’s Application Support folder and related macOS storage locations.


11. Your Controls


Supaste gives you controls over how your local history is captured and stored. Depending on the App version, these controls may include:


  • Pause clipboard capture

  • Use manual capture mode

  • Disable screenshot capture

  • Choose supported content types

  • Add apps to Ignored App Rules

  • Delete individual history items

  • Clear all history

  • Clear non-favorite items

  • Manage favorites and pinned clips

  • Create or remove custom categories and collections

  • Add, edit, or remove custom clip shortcuts

  • Change retention period

  • Adjust sensitive content detection

  • Disable the Top Notch feature

  • Disable notifications

  • Change macOS permissions

  • Uninstall the App


12. Security


Supaste is designed to keep your clipboard history local to your Mac.


However, no app, device, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Anyone with access to your Mac, macOS user account, backups, or local files may be able to access locally stored Supaste data.


You are responsible for securing your Mac, using a strong device password, enabling FileVault if appropriate, managing backups, and controlling who has access to your device.


13. Third-Party Services


Supaste may rely on third-party services or Apple system frameworks for limited purposes, including:


  • Polar.sh for payment processing, purchase delivery, license key generation, license activation, customer portal access, receipts, taxes, and related purchase operations

  • Apple system frameworks, such as LinkPresentation, for link previews

  • Apple system frameworks, such as Vision, ImageIO, CoreGraphics, or related macOS frameworks, for local image processing, previews, OCR, image conversion, compression, or background removal where available

  • Third-party websites contacted by Apple system frameworks when generating link previews


We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, reliability, or availability of third-party services or websites.


14. Children’s Privacy


Supaste is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.


If you believe that a child has provided personal information related to a Supaste purchase or support request, please contact us so we can review and delete the information where appropriate.


15. International Users


Supaste is a local-first app, and clipboard history is stored on your device.

Purchase-related information processed by Polar.sh may be handled in accordance with Polar.sh’s own privacy policy and may be processed in countries outside your country of residence.


16. Legal Requirements


We may disclose limited information we have, such as purchase or support-related information, if required to do so by law, legal process, or a valid government request.

Because Supaste does not collect your clipboard history on our servers, we generally cannot provide clipboard history, screenshots, copied content, or local App data in response to such requests.


17. Changes to This Privacy Policy


We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.


If we make material changes, we may notify you through the App, on our website, or by other reasonable means.


Your continued use of Supaste after the updated Privacy Policy becomes effective means you accept the updated policy.
