Permissions
SyncPocket App can ask for two optional permissions: Accessibility for direct pasting on Mac, and Notifications only when you choose to create an item reminder.
Accessibility — for direct pasting
Double-clicking a card (or pressing ↩) pastes it straight into the app you were just using, by simulating ⌘V. macOS requires the Accessibility permission for any app that does this.
To grant it:
- Open System Settings
- Go to Privacy & Security → Accessibility
- Find SyncPocket App in the list and turn it on
Don't want to grant it? That's fine. Without it, double-click still copies the item to your clipboard — you just paste manually with ⌘V afterward.
Notifications — for item reminders
The first time you explicitly schedule a reminder, the system asks whether SyncPocket App may show notifications. If you decline, the reminder is not scheduled; everything else in the app keeps working.
Reminder notifications are local and deliberately neutral on the lock screen: they do not include copied text, URLs or image content. They carry only the stable item ID needed to open the exact detail view after you tap.
Changed your mind? Open System Settings → Notifications → SyncPocket App and enable notifications, then schedule the reminder again.
Clipboard access
SyncPocket App doesn't need a special permission to see what you copy — that's how every clipboard tool works on macOS. Starting with macOS 26 Tahoe, you may occasionally see a system notice when an app reads the clipboard; that's normal and expected.
Keeping specific apps private
Want SyncPocket App to never remember anything copied from a particular app — your password manager, your banking app, anything? Open the menu bar icon → Settings → Excluded Apps and add it to the list. Nothing copied from an excluded app is ever recorded.
Password managers
Most password managers already mark what you copy as confidential using a standard convention. SyncPocket App recognizes this automatically and skips it — no setup required.
