What HotClip is
HotClip is a macOS clipboard manager distributed from hotclip.app. It stores clipboard history locally under the signed-in Mac user account and uses a signed Sparkle update feed for in-app updates.
Allowlist details
For workplace review, allow HTTPS access to the following HotClip resources:
https://www.hotclip.app/https://www.hotclip.app/downloads/HotClip.dmghttps://www.hotclip.app/appcast.xmlhttps://www.hotclip.app/downloads/checksums.txthttps://www.hotclip.app/.well-known/security.txt
Sparkle delta update files are also served from https://www.hotclip.app/downloads/. The full IT-facing request is available as an allowlist review page and a plain-text allowlist request.
The website uses no external fonts or embedded social widgets. Optional Google Analytics and Google Ads measurement loads only after a visitor explicitly allows it and is limited to website activity and installer-download clicks. Advertising signals and ad personalization are disabled. Downloads and update checks use the HotClip domain.
Download verification
The current installer SHA-256 hash is:
b07f7dd919897533e01a25f231ee25551060840601624cbe520ecbc613fa3547
All published archive hashes are available at downloads/checksums.txt. macOS also verifies the app and update signatures before launch or update installation.
Privacy posture
- Clipboard contents are not uploaded by the website.
- The app stores clipboard history locally by default.
- Sensitive clipboard transactions marked concealed, transient, or auto-generated are rejected before storage.
- The website loads Google Ads measurement only after explicit consent and never receives clipboard contents from the app.
See the full privacy policy for storage, analytics, backup, and update details.
