Junk Yard · Privacy and performance
Is it safe to copy sensitive information with the Junk Yard on?
Short answer: Passwords from password managers are skipped, but other sensitive text is captured and kept on your Mac until it clears. Switch Capturing off first, delete the scrap, or use a short auto-clear time.
Passwords from password managers are skipped automatically, but other sensitive text — an account number, a private message — is captured like anything else and kept on your Mac until it clears.
When you're handling something sensitive, switch off Capturing in the header first, or delete the scrap straight after. A short Auto-clear time limits how long anything lingers, and Clear all Junk empties the board at once. Keep Sharing off if you don't want copies sent to your other devices.
