About ClipGuard
No more paste from clipboard, [email protected]
ClipGuard lets you decide which apps on your phone may read or write the clipboard.
Other apps can silently watch everything you copy - passwords, one-time codes, addresses, messages. ClipGuard does not read that content. It only flips Android’s per-app clipboard permissions (READ_CLIPBOARD / WRITE_CLIPBOARD) on or off, so you stay in control.
HOW IT WORKS
- Start ClipGuard with Wireless debugging, a one-time ADB command, or root
- Open Clipboard management
- Search an app and toggle Read and Write independently
- Optionally show system apps
ClipGuard lists apps you can launch. It does not request permission to query every package on the device.
WHAT CLIPGUARD DOES NOT DO
- It never reads, stores, or uploads clipboard contents
- It is not a clipboard manager, history, or pinboard
- It does not require a ClipGuard account
FREE WITH AN OPTIONAL UPGRADE
ClipGuard is free and ad-supported. A one-time in-app purchase (remove_ads, $2) removes ads. After you buy it, the ads SDK is not started, so your advertising ID is not read.
REQUIREMENTS
Android, plus Wireless debugging (Android 11+), ADB, or root so the privileged service can run. The same requirement as other tools in this family: the clipboard switches need elevated app-ops access.
If an ad appears, do not tap it to “help” the developer - that is invalid traffic.
