Powerful Privacy Protection

Comprehensive clipboard security without the complexity

🔒

Auto-Masking

Automatically detects and masks emails, phone numbers, credit cards, IP addresses, and SSNs in real-time.

🧠

Smart Detection

Only masks sensitive data in larger text blocks. Single items copied intentionally remain unchanged.

🔗

Link Cleaning

Strip tracking parameters (utm_*, fbclid, gclid) and unwrap Google/Facebook redirectors automatically.

⚙️

Fully Customizable

Add custom regex patterns, disable built-in rules, and configure everything via elegant UI.

🔄

Easy Restore

Made a mistake? Restore original unmasked content with one click from the system tray.

🎨

Modern UI

Beautiful PyQt6 interface with tabbed settings, notifications, and tooltips everywhere.

How It Works

Simple, transparent, and effective

1

Install & Run

Clone from GitHub, install dependencies, and launch. ClipGuard sits quietly in your system tray.

2

Copy Anything

Use your clipboard normally. Copy emails, documents, messages - whatever you need.

3

Auto-Protected

ClipGuard instantly detects sensitive patterns and replaces them with placeholders like [REDACTED_EMAIL].

4

Paste Safely

Paste your masked content anywhere. Your privacy is protected automatically.

🔐

100% Local Processing

All data is processed locally on your machine. ClipGuard never sends any data over the network. No telemetry, no tracking, no external servers. Your privacy is absolute.
