PasteGuard

Prepare clipboard text before you paste with four Stream Deck actions: Clean Text, Clean Links, Hide Data and Undo Text.

Clean extra spaces and blank lines; optionally join line breaks. Remove Markdown link targets while keeping labels, and remove standalone URLs. Or keep links and remove known tracking parameters.

Hide recognized emails and international phone numbers, optionally IPv4 addresses. Add up to 40 exact-text rules for names or other text. Pattern matching can miss personal data: always review the result.

Press once to preview before and after in Stream Deck settings, then again to copy. Paste into your app normally. Undo restores plain text for up to two minutes if the clipboard is unchanged; it does not restore images or rich formatting.

Local processing, no account, background clipboard monitoring or text history. Text stays in memory for up to two minutes; custom rules are saved in button settings.

12 languages: English, Russian, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Latvian, Japanese, Korean and Simplified Chinese.

Requires Stream Deck 6.9+, Windows 10+ or macOS 13+. Tested on Apple Silicon; Intel and older macOS remain unverified.
