Welcome to SecureStack
SecureStack puts a complete suite of developer utilities in your macOS menu bar. Format, encode, generate, and test data without leaving your current app — everything runs offline, so your data never leaves your machine.
Opening SecureStack
After installing from the Mac App Store, SecureStack appears as a lock shield icon (🔒) in your menu bar. Click it to open the popover.
The popover has two tabs:
| Tab | What it does |
|---|---|
| Smart Paste | Detects and formats clipboard content automatically |
| Tools | Browse or search all ten individual utilities |
Navigation
Switch between tabs by clicking Smart Paste or Tools at the top of the popover. In the Tools tab, use the search field to filter tools by keyword — start typing “json”, “base64”, “regex”, etc. to jump straight to what you need.
Keyboard Shortcuts
| Shortcut | Action |
