CopyCat
Catch websites spying on your clipboard — and stop them.
Every time you copy text, some websites silently register clipboard event listeners to read what you copied — without asking. Medium does it. News sites do it. You'd never know. CopyCat is a Chrome extension that catches them in the act. It shows you exactly which sites are monitoring your clipboard, blocks them from reading it, and optionally watermarks your copied text so you can detect if it ends up in an AI.
Hey PH! 👋 I built CopyCat after realizing how many sites quietly hook into your clipboard without any indication. The clipboard API gives websites surprising access to what you copy — and most users have no idea.
CopyCat is 100% free on the Chrome Web Store. Everything runs locally, zero data collection. Would love your feedback on what features to build next!
