What stays on your Mac.
Last updated July 13, 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.
Trial and license
The 14-day trial starts locally on first launch. If you buy a lifetime
license, Stripe handles checkout and receipts, and InsertIt stores the
license certificate locally on your Mac.
License activation sends your purchase email, license key, anonymous
install ID, and app version to InsertIt's licensing endpoint. Clipboard
text, screenshots, OCR text, and history metadata are not sent for
licensing.
Optional product updates
If you explicitly ask for product updates, InsertIt stores your email
address, the version and time of your consent, and the delivery status
needed to avoid emailing an address that bounced, reported spam, or
unsubscribed. A confirmation link must be opened before the address is
added to the product-update mailing list.
Product-update emails are delivered through Resend. We do not enable
open or click tracking, and we do not send clipboard history,
screenshots, OCR text, app-use data, or an installation identifier with
your subscription. Every product-update email includes Resend's standard
broadcast unsubscribe link, which immediately stops future
product-update broadcasts.
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
For questions or privacy reports, email InsertIt support. Do not include
private clipboard content in reports:
