FAQ

How do I get in touch?

Email support@little-eye.com. Feature requests, bug reports, and detector suggestions all go to the same address.

Does it send my clipboard anywhere?

No. Little Eye reads the system pasteboard locally (NSPasteboard on macOS, UIPasteboard on iOS) and decodes everything in-process. Nothing leaves your device. Network-touching detectors (DNS, URL fetch) are gated behind explicit settings and only fire on inputs you can see in the panel.

Can I block all network access at once?

Yes, on macOS. Privacy Mode is a one-click kill-switch in the menu bar that blocks every network-touching detector — DNS, URL fetch, ISBN lookup, and WHOIS — while it's on, and purges any results that were already fetched. It persists across restarts. Privacy Mode is macOS-only for now: the iOS app already asks for your consent on each network action, so it has no separate switch.

Why a menu-bar app on macOS and a full app + share sheet on iOS?

On macOS the menu bar is the smallest always-reachable surface — Little Eye is available the moment you copy something and invisible the rest of the time. iOS doesn't have a system menu bar, so the same idea ships as a full app you can open from the Home Screen, plus a share-sheet extension that lets you hand a value off from any other app and get the same decoded view.

Why is the macOS download disabled?

We're polishing the first public release. The website is up early so the detector catalog is browsable; the binary will follow shortly.

When will iOS ship?

After macOS. The iOS build is a full app with an accompanying share-sheet extension, and it depends on the App Store review process. No firm date yet.

Can I request a detector?

Yes. Email support@little-eye.com with a short paste sample and a one-line description of what you'd want surfaced. Good detector requests are small, common, and obvious to recognize.
