Code-signing identities
Every ClipSalvage release is signed by Qloud LTD. Your operating system checks this automatically, but you can verify it yourself:
macOS
ClipSalvage is signed with an Apple Developer ID and notarized by Apple (macOS scans it and staples the notarization ticket to the app before you ever run it). To check the signer yourself:
codesign -dv --verbose=4 /Applications/ClipSalvage.app
You should see:
- Authority: Developer ID Application: Qloud LTD (RK93245G56)
- Team Identifier: RK93245G56
- Notarization Ticket: stapled
Windows
ClipSalvage's Windows installers are signed with a code-signing certificate issued to Qloud LTD. Right-click the downloaded .exe → Properties → Digital Signatures to check it yourself. You should see:
- Signer: Qloud LTD, Charing, Kent, GB
- Issued by: Certum Code Signing 2021 CA (Asseco Data Systems S.A.)
- Timestamped at the time of signing, so the signature remains valid after the certificate itself expires
Verify a download's checksum
SHA-256 checksums for the current release (v2.0.1). Compute the hash of your downloaded file and compare it against the value below — they should match exactly.
| File | SHA-256 |
|---|---|
| ClipSalvage-latest.dmg | 1dd7c412bab089b54f5e373f7f7bb3ac2f04b705be3a6ecee413c09a596e3a88 |
| ClipSalvage-latest-windows-x64.exe | fd6ffc6b6cbe4d375bd6fea5970147e830be78b4701d0c56cabeb85705dba1ac |

To compute a hash yourself: shasum -a 256 <file> on macOS, or Get-FileHash <file> -Algorithm SHA256 in PowerShell on Windows.
How ClipSalvage handles your data
ClipSalvage processes everything locally. No video data, thumbnails, or disk contents are ever uploaded to a server:
- Drive scanning and file carving run entirely on your computer
- The on-device camera-angle AI model runs locally too — no image or video data leaves your machine to identify a camera angle
- Recovered clips are written only to the destination folder you choose
- The only network activity is license verification and app-update checks — never footage
