About

PasteGuard masks API keys, passwords, emails, card numbers and more on your Mac's clipboard the moment you copy, so every paste into ChatGPT, Claude, Slack or a terminal is safe. An optional Apple Intelligence check on your Mac catches what rules miss. For what only you know, add custom rules, import CSV word lists or keep an Ignore list. Restore puts the real values back. No permissions, no account, nothing leaves your Mac.

AI Summary

PasteGuard for Mac secures sensitive information by masking API keys, passwords, and personal data copied to the clipboard, preventing accidental exposure in applications like ChatGPT and Slack.

A source that found nothing is a measurement. A source that has not run is a gap. Neither means the launch lacks the thing.
