Get launch pricing first

One email at launch with launch pricing — beta users get the $99 Founding window before anyone else.

One email when Pro launches — that's the whole list. We confirm by email first (double opt-in). No newsletter, no tracking pixels, no resale; delete anytime by replying. Same no-telemetry rules as the app. Copywarden · How we handle your email

Every build is code-signed with an Apple Developer ID and notarized by Apple, so Gatekeeper verifies it before first launch. Prefer to trust nothing? Copywarden is local-first and telemetry-free — with sync off, watch the network and verify that no clipboard data leaves your Mac; the threat model and disclosure policy are published for scrutiny.

After you install

Three steps to a secure clipboard.

1

Grant Accessibility for auto-paste

Auto-paste uses a permission you grant once in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility. Until then, Copywarden copies the item so you can press ⌘V yourself — everything stays on your Mac.

2

Set your hotkeys

⌘⇧V opens the history popup; ⌥⌘1–9 paste your pinned and most recent items directly. Live search and rich previews are built in.

3

Turn on Touch ID (optional)

Under Settings → Security you can require Touch ID — or your login password — before items are revealed or the history opens. Off by default; your clips are encrypted either way.

Ready?

Your clipboard deserves the same security as your passwords.

Free tier, encrypted on-device. The signed beta is rolling out ahead of public launch.
