A 10-second cleanup step before you paste real logs into AI.

PasteShield redacts common secrets and customer data locally in your browser, then gives you a clean version that is still useful for debugging, support, issues, forums, or contractor handoff.

What it catches

High-frequency copy-paste leaks

API keys, bearer tokens, JWTs, Stripe keys, GitHub/GitLab tokens, Hugging Face/OpenRouter/Replicate tokens, Pinecone keys, Supabase JWTs, database URLs, webhook URLs, private key blocks, .env secrets, emails, phones, cards, private URLs, IPs, order IDs, and custom terms.

What it avoids

No cloud redaction service

The current cleaner runs in the browser. It does not upload original text, cleaned text, replacement maps, files, or custom terms. The point is to make the safest path the fastest path.

Why now

AI made pasting normal

Developers now paste logs, traces, support snippets, and private repro details into AI tools by reflex. PasteShield is intentionally small: clean the risky text right before it leaves your hands.

Founder validation

Free cleaner now, paid founder access if this becomes your habit.

The free web cleaner is usable without an account. The $39 founder license funds the Chrome extension prototype, custom terms, batch cleanup, install notes, and future updates.
