ClipGuard

Control which apps are allowed to read your clipboard.

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.
