Private by design.
Your clipboard holds passwords, codes and private notes. Pinclip treats it that way.
- Encrypted on your MacYour history and pins are stored with AES-256, with the key in your Keychain.
- Passwords and codes don’t lingerPasswords from password managers are never saved. One-time codes and card numbers can be forgotten after a time you choose.
- API keys never savedKeys and tokens from GitHub, AWS, Stripe and others are skipped, plus anything that matches your own rules.
- No accounts, no trackingNothing is collected. Pins sync only through your own private iCloud, and you can turn that off.

Questions
How do I see my clipboard history on a Mac?
Install Pinclip and press ⌥⌘V in any app. Everything you’ve copied is there — text, links, images and files — newest first, with your pins on top. Type a few letters to find something and press Return to paste it.
Is my clipboard uploaded anywhere?
No. Your history stays on your Mac, encrypted. With iCloud sync on, only your pins and groups are synced — through your own private iCloud account.
Does Pinclip save my passwords?
No. Passwords copied from password managers are skipped, API keys and tokens are never saved, and you can exclude any app in Settings.
How much history does Pinclip keep?
You choose: from 10 to 1,000 items. You can also delete items older than a set number of days, or clear the history when Pinclip quits. Pinned items are always kept.
Why does Pinclip ask for Accessibility access?
Only to paste for you: after you pick an item, Pinclip presses ⌘V in the app you were using. Without it, items are copied and you paste them yourself.
How do I open Pinclip?
Click the Pinclip icon in the menu bar or press ⌥⌘V anywhere. You can change the shortcut, or hide the menu bar icon, in Settings.
Does it sync between my Macs?
Yes, pins and groups sync through iCloud; you can turn this off in Settings. Your history never leaves the Mac it was copied on.
Which macOS do I need?
macOS 14 Sonoma or later. On macOS 26 and later, Pinclip uses Liquid Glass.
