Buffer is a local-only macOS clipboard manager. It does not transmit any data over the network. All clipboard data is stored in ~/Library/Application Support/Buffer/ on your device.
Security concerns most relevant to this project:
- Local privilege escalation
- Unauthorized access to clipboard data stored on disk
