Privacy

Overview

AnyaMenuBar is a Mac menu bar launcher and clipboard library. It stores its library and clipboard history locally in the app container. Versions before 1.5 do not sync the library. Version 1.5 adds optional saved-library sync using your iCloud account. Version 1.6 adds a separate, optional clipboard-history sync control. No separate AnyaMenuBar account is required, and the app includes no advertising or third-party analytics SDK.

T:mi Talvikuva does not receive your library or clipboard contents through the app, sell them, or use them to train AI models.

Local library storage

Depending on what you add, the local library can include shortcut names, website addresses, file or folder locations, menus, ordering, custom icons, text snippets, images, GIFs and macOS file-access bookmarks.

Removing a shortcut does not delete the original application, file or folder. Local protection depends on macOS security, your device account, disk encryption and backup settings.

Optional clipboard history

Clipboard history is off until you enable it. While AnyaMenuBar is running and capture is enabled, supported copied text, links, images or GIFs may be saved locally together with capture times, titles and pin status.

You can pause capture, disable history, delete individual entries or clear all history. Recognised concealed or transient content is skipped when markers are present, and you can exclude apps by bundle identifier. These measures cannot identify every sensitive item, so pause capture before copying information you do not want retained.

Optional iCloud sync — version 1.5 and later

Sync is off until you enable it in Settings > General. When enabled, AnyaMenuBar stores your saved library in your iCloud account using Apple’s CloudKit private database. Your Macs signed into the same iCloud account can retrieve menu names and order, saved links and text, original images and GIF files, custom icons and application identifiers.

This saved-library option does not include clipboard history. History sync is a separate opt-in in version 1.6. Capture and privacy preferences, excluded applications, keyboard shortcuts, local file and folder paths, file-access permissions and purchase state are not included. AnyaMenuBar keeps a local account identifier to prevent automatic uploads after an iCloud account change. It does not request your Apple Account password or run its own content-storage server.

Turning sync off keeps your local library and leaves the existing iCloud copy in place. Deleting a saved item removes its content from the current synced library. A small record containing only its identifier, type, revision and deletion status remains to stop offline devices restoring it. It contains no saved text, link, image, GIF or custom icon. Obsolete owned sync-cache payloads are pruned after successful synchronization.

To remove the saved library from iCloud, choose Settings > General > Remove saved library from iCloud and confirm. The app removes its saved-library cloud records and retains a small control marker to prevent older devices automatically uploading their copies. Interrupted cleanup resumes on a later connection. Local libraries and clipboard histories remain on each Mac. Other Macs pause sync when they reconnect; starting sync again requires explicit confirmation and uploads that Mac’s local library.

CloudKit is operated by Apple. Removing app records is not a guarantee of immediate physical erasure from Apple’s storage or backups. Exported files and copies pasted into other apps are independent of AnyaMenuBar and must be managed separately.

Optional clipboard history sync — version 1.6 and later

Clipboard history stays on your Mac unless you separately enable Sync clipboard history between Macs in Settings > Clipboard & Privacy. This switch starts off. The confirmation explains that existing and future captured history may be stored in your private Apple iCloud account and merged with other Macs where you opt in.

Shared history may contain text, links, images, original GIF files, capture times, user-edited titles, pin state, and the source Mac's name and installation identifier. These help your Macs display and reconcile history. The publisher does not operate a history-storage server. Capture exclusions, keyboard shortcuts, file permissions and purchase state remain device-specific. Saved-library sync is a separate option.

Clipboard content may contain sensitive information. AnyaMenuBar skips supported concealed/transient/generated markers and locally excluded apps before capturing; these safeguards cannot recognize every sensitive copy. Do not enable history sync for content you do not want stored in iCloud. Pause capture stops new local capture; it does not stop incoming synchronization. Receiving history does not automatically replace the macOS clipboard; copying a history item is an explicit action.

Shared history retains up to 100 distinct items and 50 MB. Free displays up to 20 items on a Mac and Pro up to 100. Smaller local views do not remove the remainder from the shared cloud history. Retention prioritizes pinned and more recent items. If pins from several Macs exceed the shared limit, not all pins can be retained.

Turning history sync off leaves existing iCloud history and local copies in place. Turning Save clipboard history off also turns history sync off. Deleting an item or clearing known history while sync is on propagates those deletions to participating Macs. Minimal identifiers/revisions remain to prevent stale copies returning; they contain no saved content. Changes from offline devices that were not yet known are not retroactively included in a clear. Deleting/clearing local history while sync is off clears the owned local sync cache without changing iCloud data. Re-enabling sync can retrieve the existing iCloud history again.

Remove clipboard history from iCloud removes app history records, leaves local copies and the saved library intact, and retains a minimal reset-control marker. Other Macs pause history sync when they reconnect. Restart requires confirmation and uploads that Mac's history again. Interrupted cleanup resumes on connection. CloudKit's underlying storage and backup retention are managed by Apple; removing app records does not promise immediate physical erasure from Apple's infrastructure. Exports or copies pasted into other apps have separate lifecycles.

Website icons and opened links

Saved web links may request a website’s root page and icon resources. AnyaMenuBar does not download GIF content from copied web links. Images and GIFs can be added from supported clipboard data or files you choose, including by dragging them into the app. These requests use ephemeral network sessions without stored cookies or credentials.

The receiving websites and icon hosts can receive your IP address, the requested address and ordinary connection information under their own privacy policies. Opening a shortcut passes the selected address or item to macOS and the chosen app; it does not send the rest of your library or clipboard history.

Pro purchases and Apple services

Apple handles Pro purchases and restores through the App Store and StoreKit. AnyaMenuBar checks verified purchase entitlements to determine whether Pro is active. T:mi Talvikuva does not receive payment-card details through the app.

For TestFlight builds, Apple may provide beta feedback, crash reports, installation and usage information according to Apple’s services and your settings. AnyaMenuBar contains no separate crash-reporting SDK. Apple’s privacy policy is available at apple.com/legal/privacy.

Retention and deletion

Clipboard history holds up to 20 items on Free and 100 on Pro, subject to content-size limits. Older unpinned entries can be removed as new entries arrive. Saved menu items remain until you remove them. Clearing history does not remove permanent library items or clear the current macOS clipboard.

Website icon caches may remain separately. Local library export files contain saved content and exclude clipboard history; store them privately. Deleting the app alone may leave app-container data behind, and configured device backups or content pasted into other apps have separate lifecycles. For full local removal instructions, contact support; T:mi Talvikuva cannot remotely access or erase local app data.

Support communications

If you contact help@anyaclean.com, T:mi Talvikuva receives the email address, message and attachments you choose to send. They are used to answer your request and are retained for up to 12 months from the last contact unless a longer period is legally required.

Do not send passwords, payment details or private clipboard contents. Website hosting, cookies and support-form processing are described in the Website Privacy & Cookies notice.
