01Prepare a project

Check whether a folder
is ready for AI coding tools.

Audit ignore files, flag sensitive paths, and apply one-click fixes. Works with .cursorignore, .copilotignore, .claudeignore, .aiexclude, and similar rules.

.cursorignore.copilotignore.claudeignore.aiexclude

Watch folders in the background and get notified when something changes. Directory checks use paths and ignore rules only — not file contents.

FAQ

Answers
before you install.

Short, honest answers about how Offsend behaves on your Mac. Missing something? Email us.

Where does Offsend work?

Anywhere you can type. Safe Paste targets the focused text field, so it works in ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Terminal, Slack, Notion, Mail — anything that accepts a paste.

Does it replace ⌘V?

No. V stays untouched for everyday pastes. Offsend lives on V — opt-in, by design. Both shortcuts are remappable.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Detection, masking, and restore all run locally. The only network call Offsend makes is checking for app updates — verifiable with Little Snitch or any network filter.

What permissions does Offsend need?

Accessibility — so it can type the masked text into the active app on your behalf. macOS may also ask for folder access to audit and monitor directories. Without Accessibility, Offsend falls back to “Mask & Copy” and lets you paste manually.

Is anything sent to your servers?

No prompt content, no clipboard content, no detected values, no file bodies. Local counters stay on your Mac. The Privacy Report inside the app lists exactly what Offsend tracks locally.

How does Pro activation work?

No accounts. Buy Pro inside the app, get a 6-digit magic code by email, paste it once — the license binds to your Mac. Activate a second Mac with the same email and code.
