Junk Yard · What gets captured

Does the Junk Yard catch copies from every app?

Short answer: Yes. Anything copied to the Mac's standard clipboard is caught, from any app, with no per-app setup — except content an app marks as secret or temporary, such as from password managers.

Yes — anything that copies to the Mac's standard clipboard is caught, whether it's a browser, Mail, Finder, Terminal, a design tool or an office app. There's nothing to set up per app.

The exceptions are deliberate: content an app marks as secret or temporary (password managers do this) is skipped. See What does the Junk Yard capture?
