Questions, answered plainly
Clip 4 Breakfast FAQ
Product behavior, commercial terms, and availability without hidden qualifiers.
Is Clip 4 Breakfast available to download?
Not yet. The current build is an engineering candidate. This site will not offer a public download until notarization, human verification, licensing, and release gates are complete.
How is this different from ordinary clipboard history?
History is only the starting point. Clip 4 Breakfast combines fast recall with Named Keepers, a temporary Paste Stack, one-shot Paste As transforms, a privacy firewall, and explicit memory, storage, and retention controls.
Does clipboard data leave my Mac?
The current native app stores clipboard history locally and includes no cloud sync, analytics, or remote logging. Future network features would require a new security review and clear opt-in behavior.
Does it catch every password?
No. It rejects concealed content, excluded apps, and a bounded set of high-signal secret patterns. It cannot reliably identify every free-form password or one-time code.
What is a Context Pack?
A Context Pack is a temporary, ordered Markdown brief made from up to 20 clips. It can include an instruction, file paths, and image metadata, stays in memory, and clears when Clip 4 Breakfast quits. Context Packs are included with Trial and Pro.
Is Safe Paste available in Free?
Yes. Safe Paste is available in Free, Trial, and Pro. It replaces supported sensitive patterns locally and requires review of the redacted output when it finds one.
Does Safe Paste catch every secret?
No. Safe Paste checks structured credentials, private keys, credential URLs, Authorization headers, sensitive assignments, and home paths. It cannot reliably identify every password or one-time code.
Does a Context Pack persist after quitting?
No. The active Context Pack stays in memory for the current session and clears when Clip 4 Breakfast quits. It is not written to the clipboard history database.
What happens after the Pro trial?
The implemented trial returns the app to Free instead of making it unusable. Public availability remains gated by live license and purchase verification.
