Frequently asked questions
Does StackPad send my data anywhere?
No. StackPad has no network access and no analytics: everything you paste stays on your Mac. See the privacy policy for details.
How do I hide or reorder tools in the sidebar?
Click the Customize menu button (the sliders icon next to Search tools). Untick tools to hide them and drag the handle to reorder tools within a section. Reset brings back the default menu.
How do saved inputs work, and where are they stored?
In any tool with text input, click Save in the header and type a name. Click Load to find a saved input by name and put it back, including every field of tools like JSON Diff and Regex Tester. Delete one with the trash icon in the Load dialog.
Saved inputs stay on your Mac, in StackPad's sandbox container:
~/Library/Containers/com.kubemedia.stackpad/Data/Library/Application Support/com.kubemedia.stackpad/saved_inputs.
Each can be up to 256 MB.
Why is my large input shown read-only?
Inputs over about 200 KB are shown in a fast read-only viewer, because an editable field slows down with very long text. Tools still work on the full input in the background. Click Edit anyway above the input if you need to change it in place.
Can I open files instead of pasting?
Yes. Text tools have an Open file button above the input, image tools accept drag and drop, and outputs can be copied or saved to a file. StackPad can only read and write the files you choose.
Does the JWT Decoder verify signatures?
No. It decodes and displays the header and payload so you can inspect a token, and shows when it expires. Decoding doesn't prove that a token is authentic.
Which image formats are supported?
The Image Converter reads PNG, JPEG, GIF, BMP, TIFF and WebP, and writes PNG, JPEG, GIF, BMP and TIFF. Writing WebP isn't supported yet.
Is there a version for iPhone, iPad or Windows?
Not yet. StackPad is coming to the Mac App Store first. Let us know which platform you'd like next.
How do I remove all of StackPad's data?
Delete StackPad from your Applications folder, then delete the folder
~/Library/Containers/com.kubemedia.stackpad. That removes your menu preferences and saved
inputs.
