Privacy Policy
In short: Caplet does not collect, upload, or sell any of your data. Your screenshots and clipboard history stay on your own Mac.
Caplet is developed and operated by Dongguan Jiuzhuan Xiangong Technology Co., Ltd. (“we”, “us”). This policy explains how Caplet handles your information.
We collect no data
Caplet has no accounts and contains no analytics, advertising, or third-party data collection components. We have no access to anything you handle with Caplet.
What is stored on your device
To do its job, Caplet processes and stores the following locally on your Mac. None of it leaves your device.
- Screenshots. The screen is read only when you take a screenshot. The screenshot is copied to the clipboard, saved where you choose, or pinned to the screen, according to what you do. Caplet keeps no other copy.
- Clipboard history. Text and images you copy are saved in Caplet’s local data folder. You can adjust how many items are kept and for how long in Settings. Content that password managers mark as private is never recorded, and you can exclude specific apps. You can delete individual items or clear the history at any time.
- Text recognition. Recognizing text in screenshots uses capabilities built into macOS and happens entirely on your device.
- Settings. Preferences such as shortcuts and language are stored locally.
Permissions and how they are used
- Screen Recording: to capture the screen. Used only when you start a screenshot.
- Clipboard access: to keep the clipboard history.
- Accessibility: only for “Paste Directly When Picking an Item”, which presses ⌘V for you after you pick an item from the history. Caplet does not use it to read or control other apps. You can turn this feature off.
Network connections
Caplet downloaded from the Mac App Store makes no network connections.
The version downloaded directly from this website may periodically read a version information file on this website to check for updates. You can turn this off in Settings. The request contains no information identifying you or your device; as with any web request, the server sees the IP address it comes from.
Children’s privacy
Caplet does not collect personal information from anyone, including children.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, we will update this page and the effective date above.
