Privacy
What stays on your Mac.
Last updated July 5, 2026.
App data
InsertIt stores clipboard history on your Mac. Text, links, and item
metadata are kept in the app's local database. Screenshot originals and
thumbnails are saved as files in Application Support.
InsertIt does not sync clipboard history, screenshot metadata, or OCR
text to a hosted database.
OCR and link handling
Screenshot OCR runs on your Mac through Apple's Vision framework.
InsertIt does not contact websites to fetch link titles, favicons, or
page metadata.
Controls
In the app, you can pause capture, clear history, pin items, configure
retention, and exclude sensitive apps from capture. InsertIt also runs
conservative local checks for password-like or token-like text and skips
content those checks flag.
Website analytics
This website does not run client-side analytics pixels or tracking
scripts. The hosting provider may still provide aggregate request counts
through Cloudflare.
Support
