Privacy Policy

yanklog keeps clipboard history on your device.

yanklog is designed as a local-first clipboard manager. It does not require an account, does not sync clipboard contents to a server, and does not sell or share personal data.

Last updated: June 28, 2026

Data collection

yanklog does not collect analytics, tracking identifiers, account information, or clipboard contents for remote processing.

Local storage

Clipboard history and settings are stored locally on your device. You can delete individual entries, clear history, pause monitoring, or uninstall the app.

Source trust model

The Linux app and shared Rust core are open source under the MIT License. The macOS app, website, release infrastructure, and marketing tooling remain proprietary unless stated otherwise.

Because clipboard managers can read sensitive copied text while monitoring is enabled, only use builds from channels you trust. Linux users can audit and build the open-source app/core locally.

What yanklog stores

  • Text clipboard entries you copy while monitoring is enabled.
  • App settings such as history limits, quick picker preferences, and privacy filters.
  • Local metadata such as timestamps, favorite status, and entry identifiers.

What yanklog does not do

  • No account is required.
  • No clipboard contents are uploaded by yanklog.
  • No advertising or third-party tracking SDKs are used.
  • No clipboard history is sold, rented, or shared.

Security and privacy controls

yanklog includes controls for privacy-sensitive workflows, including pause/resume monitoring, privacy filters, retention settings, delete actions, and clear-all history controls.

Local history is protected on the device. Anyone with access to your user account or unlocked computer may still be able to access local app data, so use your operating system account security features as well.

Updates and downloads

yanklog may check hosted version metadata to determine whether an update is available. This request does not include clipboard contents.

The Linux direct installer downloads an AppImage and checksum, verifies SHA-256, creates desktop entries, and may add ~/.local/bin to shell startup files unless run with--no-path-update. Linux release artifacts also publish build info files with source commit and toolchain metadata.
