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 |

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 | |---|---| | ⌘ V | Paste clipboard content in the Smart Paste tab |
