Frequently asked questions
Why does ClipLedger not paste automatically?
Automatic paste requires simulated keystrokes and Accessibility permission. ClipLedger only restores the clipboard, then you paste normally with Command-V.
Where is my data stored?
Entries live in an encrypted database on your Mac. If sync is enabled, client-side encrypted records also live in your private CloudKit database.
What happens to passwords?
Password-manager marker types are always honored and ignored. Other likely secrets follow the privacy rule you choose.
Can I choose to keep a detected secret?
Yes. Every category has its own store, masked store, never store, expiry, and sync controls.
What if I lose my key?
Without the Ledger Key or recovery phrase, nobody can recover your ledger, including us.
How much disk space does it use?
You decide. Set limits globally and per type, including separate expiry rules for images and files.
Does it work on Intel Macs?
Yes. ClipLedger is a Universal app for Apple silicon and Intel Macs running macOS 14 or newer.
What is the difference between the App Store and direct download?
Features and price are identical. Only signing and the update channel differ.
