SafetyClip is a clipboard manager for Mac. It saves everything you copy, so you can press ⌃⌘V in any app, search, and paste it again. But a clipboard history also collects your passwords and API keys. So SafetyClip spots them as you copy them and locks them behind Touch ID. A copied API key comes off the clipboard right away, so it isn't there for other apps to read, and you can't paste it into an AI chat by mistake. Everything stays on your Mac. $8 once, full Swift source included.

One day I pasted an API key into Slack by mistake. It was still on my clipboard, and ⌘V doesn't check what you're about to paste. So I built SafetyClip for myself.
It recognises 102 kinds of secrets as you copy them, including API keys, tokens, private keys and database URLs. It masks them in history and locks them behind Touch ID. A copied API key comes off the clipboard right away, so it isn't there for other apps to read, and you can't paste it into Slack by mistake. When you need it, press ⌘V and use Touch ID. It pastes, then clears again two seconds later.
SafetyClip also marks secrets as concealed, so other clipboard managers skip them. If an app reads one anyway, the Leaks view names it, so you know which key to rotate. If SafetyClip misses something, ⌘L in the panel marks it as secret.
It's also a clipboard manager. Everything else you copy is saved too, and ⌃⌘V opens a search box over any app. Return pastes. I name the prompts I reuse, so "release notes" finds the right one a week later.
You shouldn't have to take my word for any of this. Everything stays on your Mac, and every license includes the full Swift source on GitHub, so you can check. There's no account, no analytics and no crash reporting. It goes online only for a monthly license check and updates.
It costs $8 once (₹499 in India) for one Mac. There's no trial, but there's a 5-day refund, no questions asked.
I'd like to hear two things: which secret formats it misses, and whether Touch ID on every key paste feels right or gets in your way.
Congrats on the launch! Design looks clean and the pricing is reasonable.
One question, how does it handle concealed clipboard types from password managers?
@frabonomi Thanks Francesco! Password manager copies marked concealed paste as usual and clear after 90 seconds by default. SafetyClip also keeps a masked copy in history behind Touch ID, which you can turn off. Anything also marked transient is ignored completely.
how is it different from pressing command+space & command+4?
@lucky7x_ Spotlight gives you a history. While Safetyclip recognises 100+ types of secrets, like API keys and private keys, and the moment you copy one, it's encrypted and taken off the clipboard. When you actually need it, ⌘V asks for Touch ID first to decrypt it and paste it. That way it won't land in the wrong window by accident, and an app or website you approved long ago can't quietly read it.
