Privacy

Little Eye does not collect your clipboard. Everything is decoded locally on your Mac or iPhone — the app reads the system pasteboard (NSPasteboard on macOS, UIPasteboard on iOS), parses what it finds, and shows you the result. Nothing leaves your device unless you turn on one of the optional network detectors described below.

Optional network detectors

A handful of detectors can enrich what they find by reaching out to the network — resolving a hostname's DNS records, fetching a URL you copied, looking up an ISBN, or running a WHOIS query on a domain. These are the only features that ever send anything off your device, they act only on values you can already see in the panel, and each is gated behind an explicit setting you control.

Privacy Mode

Privacy Mode is a one-click kill-switch that blocks all detector network traffic while it's on — every lookup above, plus any future network-touching detector. Toggle it from the menu bar and the app stops talking to the network entirely; any results that were previously fetched are purged from memory so the panel never shows network-sourced data while the switch is on. The setting persists across restarts, so once you turn it on it stays on until you turn it off.

This website is served from a single Go binary. It does not run client-side analytics, set tracking cookies, or store anything per-visitor. Whatever operational logs the host keeps about HTTP requests are coarse and short-lived — only as much as is required to keep the service up and to debug failures.
