Hi Econa77,

Thank you for your great work.
I'm looking forward to Clipy as the alternative of ClipMenu.
However, I get a consideration.

Clipy uses DB and files to store data, not like as ClipMenu.
Is it meaning that credit card no., password, and so on,
are stored as file and indexed with spotlight and similar system?
It not so welcome.

Of cause, we have to take care to handling of such secret things,
however, accidents are inevitable.
I think text data should be go backed into memory, and should be encrypted.

How do you think about it?

@yuboly
Thank you for using the Clipy.

I agree with you.

Clipy is used DB that Realm, encryption can be implemented.
However, I'm worried about how to manage the secret key.

Please wait for a while because it implements considered a better policy for the future of development.
Comment on this issue After the policy has been determined.

Thanks 😄

Any updates on this? I copy and paste a lot of passwords, so this is a consideration.
