Requirements and privacy

  • Before you start: The selected path must exist on this Mac.
  • Your selected text: ActionClip passes the selected text only to this Apple app on your Mac. The Apple app controls any later iCloud sync or network use.

Nothing is sent until you click the action. ActionClip never runs this integration quietly in the background.
