AFKClipboardGuard is a security tool designed specifically for Windows users to safeguard sensitive information, such as passwords, tokens, JSON Web Tokens (JWTs), API keys, and other confidential text, from accidental exposure via the clipboard. This software actively monitors clipboard activity, automatically clears it when necessary, detects potential secrets, and allows users to store critical data in a secure local vault.

What It Does

AFKClipboardGuard analyzes clipboard changes in real time and assesses whether the copied content may be sensitive. Users can set specific rules that dictate the program's response; based on the configurations, it can issue warnings, clear the clipboard, save secrets in the vault, or enforce application-specific policies.

This tool is particularly effective in preventing the unintentional exposure of high-entropy secrets left in the clipboard for extended periods. Additionally, AFKClipboardGuard provides alerts when Windows clipboard functionality may inadvertently expose or sync copied data beyond the intended context. It also notifies users of suspicious clipboard activity that occurs without recent input, which can indicate potential malware or unexpected behavior.

Silently from the Systray

AFKClipboardGuard operates quietly in the systray, using clear Windows notifications to communicate important events while remaining unobtrusive during low-risk periods.

    ● Windows tray agent: Runs quietly in the background with quick access to settings, vault unlock, activation, and exit.
    ● Configurable timings: Choose your own clipboard clear timer, suspicious-change window, and cooldowns to avoid alert spam.
