A clipboard manager is the single most sensitive app on your Mac. Not because of what it does, but because of what passes through it. Over a week that is your messages, your addresses, the odd password, work you have not published, and whatever you pasted into a private chat.
So the only question that really matters is where all of that goes.
The answer
Nowhere. Tucket keeps your history on your Mac. There is no account to make, no server to sync with, and nothing you copy is uploaded.
That is also why there is no web app and no phone app. Those would need your clipboard to leave the machine, and then the promise above would stop being true.
Some things never get saved at all
Keeping your history local is good. Not storing a secret in the first place is better.
Tucket watches for things that look confidential, like API keys, card numbers and passwords, and leaves them out of your history before they land. You do not have to remember to clear anything, because there is nothing to clear.
Password managers get the same treatment: a copy that comes from one is treated as a secret, not as history.
What you can check yourself
You do not have to take my word for any of this.
- Turn off your wifi and use Tucket normally. Everything still works, because nothing needed a connection.
- Copy a password from your password manager and look in the history. It is not there.
- Delete a clip, or clear everything, from settings whenever you want.
Why it is a one time price
Local only software has no running cost per user, so there is nothing for a subscription to cover. Ten dollars once, up to three Macs, and updates keep coming.
