Junk Yard · Privacy and performance
Does Storage Studio read my clipboard all the time?
Short answer: Only while the Junk Yard is enabled and both Capturing and Watch the clipboard are on. Then it saves each new copy (except secrets) on your Mac; switch any of them off to stop.
Only while the Junk Yard is switched on and capturing. With Enable Junk Yard on this Mac, Capturing and Watch the clipboard all on, it notices each new copy and saves it as a scrap — skipping anything marked secret.
Turn any one of those off and your copies are no longer saved. What it catches stays on your Mac.
