Always hide and never hide ​

Detectors know common formats, but not your client names or project codenames. Add those to Always hide. If Cloakpaste hides something you are happy to share, such as a public support address, add it to Never hide.

Both lists are in the settings: select the Cloakpaste icon, then Settings and playground.

Always hide your own words ​

  1. In the settings, find Always hide ("Company names, project codenames, client names").

  2. Type one term per line, for example:

    text
    Northwind
Project Falcon
acme-internal

  3. Click outside the box. The page shows Saved.

How terms match:

  • Matching ignores upper and lower case: northwind also hides Northwind.
  • Whole words only. Falcon does not hide Falconry.
  • Spaces inside a term match any run of spaces or line breaks.
  • Terms shorter than two characters are ignored.

Matched terms become [TERM_1], [TERM_2] and so on. Your terms win over every other detector when they overlap.

Never hide a value ​

  1. Find Never hide ("Exact values to leave alone, like a public support email").

  2. Type one value per line, for example support@example.com.

  3. Click outside the box.

A value is left alone only when the detected item is exactly that value, ignoring case. It is not a pattern: adding example.com does not exempt someone@example.com.

Choose what to hide ​

Under What to hide, each kind of data has a checkbox, in groups: Secrets and keys, Contact details, People and IDs, Financial, Network and Your terms. Clear a box to stop hiding that kind everywhere. Everything is on except Organisation.

Under Detection:

  • Find names and addresses with the on-device model: on by default. Turn it off to use only pattern detection.
  • Also hide random-looking strings: off by default. It catches unknown key formats, and may also hide hashes and IDs in code.

The full list of kinds is in What Cloakpaste detects.

TIP

Test a change in the Playground at the top of the settings page before relying on it. Paste a sample and select Check text.
