Feat:AI-based Clipboard Sensitive Information Alerts for Privacy & Security

[dev31sanghvi]

Copybuffer is awesome for boosting productivity, but handling sensitive information in the clipboard can accidentally become a privacy risk.
I’d love to see a feature where Copybuffer intelligently detects if you’ve copied anything sensitive (like passwords, email addresses, phone numbers, or payment info) and warns you before using or sharing it further.

The idea:

• As soon as something goes into the clipboard, Copybuffer checks if it looks like private info using smart rules and AI.
• If it catches something risky, like a password or a credit card number, it pops up a warning .
• Let users decide what should be flagged (emails, numbers, etc.) and tweak settings to completely fit their workflow.
• All scanning is local by default, so privacy is always protected unless someone chooses to use cloud based analysis.
• Bonus: Optionally mask, ignore or get more info about what triggered the alert.

Why this matters:

• Helps users avoid accidentally sharing sensitive information in chats, documents, code, etc.
• Adds trust and security appeal with zero extra effort from users.
• Sets Copybuffer apart for security-conscious folks and professionals!

Would be happy to discuss implementation approaches

a quick approach :

//regex pattern for rule based detection(mail, phone, card, api,password)

function onClipboardChange() {
  const content = clipboard.readText();
  let findings = [];

  Object.entries(regexes).forEach(([type, rx]) => {
    if (rx.test(content)) findings.push(type);
  });

  findings = findings.concat(aiDetector.detect(content));
  
  if (findings.length) showAlertUI(findings, content);
}
