Main workflows

Three everyday checks before text or files reach ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini.

Folder and file prepared for AI sharing

Files and folders

Scan a file or project folder before you share it with an AI tool.

  • Detect emails, keys, IDs, and similar values.
  • Mask findings or stop the share.
  • Export a safe copy — originals stay untouched.
Copy, Offsend, then paste into an AI app

Safe Paste

Copy as usual. Paste through Offsend so secrets do not enter the AI prompt.

  • Clipboard text is checked on paste.
  • Sensitive values become placeholders.
  • Restore the originals locally when you need them.
Watched folder monitoring for files before sharing

Watched folders

Pick a folder once. New files are checked automatically before you share them.

  • Useful for recurring exports and client handoffs.
  • Processed copies stay on your Mac.
  • Free includes one watched folder.

Local-first

Detection, masking, and Restore stay on your Mac. Content is not uploaded for scanning.

  • Runs on your Mac

    File checks, clipboard detection, masking, and Restore all run locally. Nothing is sent to Offsend for scanning.

  • No cloud scanning

    Prompts, clipboard payloads, file bodies, and detected values are not uploaded. Update checks are the only network call.

  • Originals stay untouched

    Source files are not modified. Offsend prepares a safe copy or masked paste you can share instead.

  • Encrypted Restore mappings

    Placeholder mappings are encrypted on disk. The key lives in macOS Keychain. You control when originals come back.

  • No account needed

    Install, grant Accessibility and folder access when asked, and start. Free Safe Paste does not require a signup.

  • Signed and notarized

    The Mac app is signed and notarized by Apple, so Gatekeeper accepts it without workarounds.

Pro

Free includes unlimited Safe Paste, detectors, dictionaries, CLI, and one watched folder. Upgrade for unlimited folders and longer Restore timers.

FAQ

Desktop app vs CLI?

The Mac app adds Safe Paste, drag-and-drop file prep, and one-click project audits. The free CLI runs the same checks in the terminal, git hooks, and CI. The app bundles the CLI.

Does it replace ⌘V?

No. Everyday paste stays on ⌘V. Safe Paste is ⌘⇧V — opt-in. Both shortcuts are remappable.

Is anything uploaded?

No. Detection, masking, and restore run on your Mac. Offsend does not upload prompts, clipboard content, file bodies, or detected values. Update checks are the only network call.

What permissions are needed?

Accessibility so Safe Paste can type into the focused app. Folder access for project audits. Without Accessibility, use Mask & Copy and paste manually.

What's free vs Pro?

Free includes unlimited Safe Paste, detectors, dictionaries, CLI, and one watched folder. Pro adds unlimited watched folders, longer Restore TTL, and use on up to 2 Macs. Activate with a magic code — no account.
