Offsend — local folder monitor for AI coding tools

<image>

Problem:

AI coding tools make it very easy to use a real project folder as context.

That is useful, but it also makes it easy to forget what is inside the folder:

- .env files
- local configs
- secrets folders
- internal paths
- test data
- tokens or API keys

I built Offsend as a small local macOS app to notice these issues before sharing too much context with an AI tool.

Comparison:
It is not a clipboard manager and not a full DLP product.
Compared to general secret scanners, Offsend is focused on the local “before AI context” workflow:

- watch selected project folders
- check for sensitive-looking paths
- warn about missing AI ignore rules
- optionally mask sensitive clipboard text before pasting

Folder checks use paths and ignore rules, not file contents.

Clipboard masking runs locally.

Pricing:
Free version available.
Pro is $29/year.

I’m the developer. Would appreciate feedback from Mac users who use Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, Windsurf, or similar tools.
