# Clipboard Inspector Read what's on your clipboard and see which data types it holds, or write test text to it — using the async Clipboard API. Nothing is stored or uploaded; it stays in your browser. ### How it works The async **Clipboard API** lets a page read (`navigator.clipboard.read`) and write (`writeText`) clipboard data, but only from a user gesture and, for reading, with your explicit permission — a deliberate privacy protection, since the clipboard often holds passwords or personal data. This tool shows the text and the list of MIME types present. Nothing is stored, logged or sent; it never leaves your browser. --- *Source: [ocxly.com/clipboard-inspector.html](https://ocxly.com/clipboard-inspector.html) — OCXLY, free 100% client-side privacy-first tools.
