Why Copybar

Your clipboard is personal. Copybar keeps it that way.

Nobody can read it. Not even us.

It never leaves your devices.

Your history lives on your Mac and in your own iCloud. There is no Copybar server to read it.

AI that can look, never touch

Ask your AI about it. It can’t change a thing.

Your AI tools can search your clips and pinboards. They cannot write, pin or delete.

Not saved

Locked cards were refused by sensitive‑content blocking before they were stored, so nothing, including your AI tools, can ever read them. Copybar sends anonymous, content‑free usage counts so we know what to fix. It's one switch to turn off. What's counted →

Let your AI tools read your clipboard. Only read.
