Built for developers who paste first and think about it later.
PasteShield exists because pasting is the fastest habit in a developer’s day — and the one with the least review. It runs quietly in the menu bar, checks the clipboard on your terms, and never phones home.
Local by design, not by marketing
Every scan happens on-device. PasteShield makes no network calls and keeps no clipboard history — it only touches the current clipboard briefly during a paste, then forgets it.
That’s a deliberate constraint, not a limitation we’re working around. A tool built to catch secrets shouldn’t be the thing that stores them.
What we build around
Local-first
No network calls. Detection runs entirely on your Mac.
No history, ever
Unlike clipboard managers, PasteShield never stores what you copy.
Plain language over hype
We say what it catches and what it doesn’t. No absolute claims.
Built for developers
Category-specific detection, custom rules, and per-app settings.
Who it’s for
Freelance developers
Pasting logs and configs into AI tools daily, with no IT safety net.
DevOps & infrastructure engineers
Working across terminals and dashboards full of connection strings.
AI automation consultants
Prompting with client data and credentials across multiple projects.
Agency technical directors
Responsible for what a whole team pastes into support tools and Slack.
