LSFR Studio Independent Mac software

Keepr privacy policy

Applies to the Keepr application for macOS.
Last updated 16 September 2026. Effective 16 September 2026.

Keepr collects nothing. It has no account system, no server, no analytics and no advertising identifiers, and it makes no network requests at all. Everything Keepr saves stays in a folder on your own Mac, and deleting that folder deletes it.

This policy exists to explain, in detail, what Keepr writes to your disk and what it deliberately refuses to write. It is not a disclosure of data being sent to us, because none is.

1. Who is responsible

Keepr is made by Aymen Lasfar, a sole proprietor trading as LSFR Studio ("we", "us"). In this policy, "Keepr" means the Keepr application for macOS, and "you" means the person using it.

You can reach us at privacy@lsfrstudio.com about anything in this document.

2. Data we collect

None. We do not collect, receive, transmit, sell, rent or share any personal data through Keepr. Specifically, Keepr contains:

  • no account or sign-in of any kind;
  • no analytics, telemetry or usage measurement;
  • no crash or diagnostic reporting to us;
  • no advertising identifiers and no third-party ad networks;
  • no cloud sync or backup service;
  • no network requests, of any kind, to any host.

Because Keepr never opens a network connection, no data about you can leave your Mac by way of the app. The promotional rows and upgrade screens you may see in the free version are drawn from text built into the app itself; they are not loaded from a server and they do not report anything back.

3. What Keepr stores on your Mac

Keepr is a capture tool, so it necessarily writes what you capture to your own disk. All of it lives in a single folder:

~/Library/Application Support/Keepr

That folder holds:

  • Clipboard items. The text, links, images and file paths you copy while monitoring is switched on, together with the name of the application that was in front at the time.
  • Screenshots. Images you capture with Keepr, plus any annotations you add.
  • Tasks. To-do items you write, including their due dates, steps and notes.
  • Organisation. Folders, tags, pins, favourites and reminder times you set.
  • Settings. Your preferences, including shortcuts and which applications you have excluded.

Items, folders and settings are stored as plain JSON files, and images are stored as PNG files in a Blobs subfolder. They are not encrypted, and they are not obscured: you can open and read them yourself. We rely on macOS file permissions instead, and Keepr creates its data directory so that only your user account can enter it, and its files so that only your user account can read them.

A consequence worth stating plainly: anything you copy while monitoring is on may be written to disk, including things you did not think of as worth keeping. If your Mac's disk is not encrypted, or if another person has administrator access to it, that content may be readable by them. Turning on FileVault is the single most useful thing you can do about this.

If you set the RECALL_DATA_DIR environment variable, Keepr uses the folder you name instead. That is intended for testing.

4. What Keepr refuses to store

Keepr tries not to capture credentials, and it does so in three independent ways. Each can be turned off in Settings, under Privacy.

  • Content marked as concealed. Password managers and other well-behaved apps flag secrets on the clipboard using markers such as org.nspasteboard.ConcealedType. Keepr honours those markers and skips the content.
  • Text that looks like a credential. Keepr applies conservative heuristics and skips strings shaped like API keys, service tokens, private key blocks, JSON Web Tokens, payment card numbers and passwords. This is a heuristic, not a guarantee.
  • Excluded applications. Anything copied while an excluded app is in front is ignored completely. Common password managers and Keychain Access are excluded out of the box, and you can add any other app.

Because the second layer is a set of heuristics rather than a rule with perfect knowledge, it can be wrong in both directions: it may skip something harmless that happens to look like a secret, and it may fail to recognise a secret that does not match a known shape. Treat it as a useful safety net, not as protection you can rely on. If something must never be recorded, pause monitoring or exclude the application it comes from.

5. Your control over the data

Everything Keepr keeps can be limited or removed by you, from inside the app:

  • Pause recording. One click in the menu bar, one click in the sidebar, or one keyboard shortcut stops all clipboard recording.
  • Cap the history. Choose how many clipboard items are kept at once. Once the cap is passed, the oldest unprotected items are deleted. Pinned and favourite items are exempt.
  • Delete automatically. Keep items forever, or have them deleted after a day, a week or a month. New installations delete after a week by default. Pinned and favourite items are never removed automatically.
  • Set a minimum length so very short copies are not recorded, and optionally skip large images.
  • Delete individual items at any time.
  • Clear clipboard history while keeping your tasks, screenshots, pinned and favourite items.
  • Erase everything, which removes every item, task and stored image.

You can also simply delete ~/Library/Application Support/Keepr in the Finder. Settings includes a button that reveals the folder for you. Because there is no server copy, deletion on your Mac is deletion, full stop — although a Time Machine or other backup you have made may still contain the folder.

6. macOS permissions

Keepr asks macOS for as little as it can, and it explains each permission in Settings under Permissions.

  • Clipboard access Needed for clipboard history. macOS does not prompt for this. Keepr reads the clipboard only to record it locally, and only while monitoring is switched on.
  • Screen Recording Needed to take screenshots, and requested by macOS the first time you capture. Keepr does not record your screen in the background.
  • Accessibility (optional) Used only to press Command-V on your behalf after you pick an item from a popup. Decline it and the item is still copied to your clipboard.
  • Notifications (optional) Used only to deliver reminders you have set. Decline it and Keepr shows its own in-app alert instead.

Keepr registers its keyboard shortcuts through the system hotkey service, which means it does not need the broad input-monitoring permission that a keyboard event tap would require.

7. Purchases and subscriptions

Keepr Pro is sold as an auto-renewing subscription. Where Keepr is distributed through the Mac App Store, the purchase is processed entirely by Apple.

  • We never see or receive your payment card, billing address or Apple Account credentials.
  • Apple tells the app only whether an entitlement is active. That check happens through Apple's own frameworks.
  • Apple provides us with aggregated sales and subscription reports. Those reports are commercial figures, not records that identify you.
  • Apple's handling of your purchase is governed by Apple's privacy policy, not by this one.

8. Third parties

Keepr contains no third-party SDKs, analytics libraries, advertising networks or tracking code. No data processor acts on our behalf in connection with the app, because there is no data flowing to process.

This website is hosted by Vercel, which as a hosting provider processes standard server request information such as IP address and user agent in order to serve the pages and protect against abuse. That is a property of visiting the site, not of using the app. We have added no analytics or tracking cookies to it.

9. Your legal rights

Data protection laws including the UK and EU GDPR give you rights over personal data that an organisation holds about you — to access it, correct it, erase it, restrict its processing, object to it, and have it ported elsewhere.

We hold no personal data about users of Keepr, so in practice there is nothing for us to disclose, correct, export or erase in response to such a request. The data Keepr produces is under your own control on your own device, and section 5 above describes how to inspect and delete it. If you would like this confirmed in writing, or you believe we do hold something, write to privacy@lsfrstudio.com and we will respond within 30 days. You also have the right to complain to your national data protection authority.

10. Children

Keepr is a general-purpose utility and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone, of any age, because we do not collect personal data at all.

11. Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the revised version will be posted at this address with a new "last updated" date. Should a future version of Keepr ever add a feature that sends data anywhere — which is not planned — that would be described here before the feature ships, and it would be something you opt into rather than something switched on for you.
