PTHPasteBoard is a lean clipboard manager that operates as a preference pane. It offers similar conversions (“filters” in their vernacular) as CopyPaste. It used to be free, but both CopyPaste and PTHPasteBoard are available for about the same as others here – $30.

I haven’t tried iClipBoard, but I am an owner of several Chronos OS X apps, and I find their approach a bit over-designed and weakly implemented (SOHO Notes particularly), so I’d suggest carefully testing during the trial period to see if it really meets your needs.

CopyPaste is one of the oldest clip managers (it goes back at least to OS 9). It’s slightly inelegant, but it’s full-featured and has both a history palette and an archive palette. It’s also the only one I know that has date functions that include both bahai and islam dates.

clipmenu is the best for me. a clipboard manager who interrupts your workflow by having to use the mouse is a deal breaker for me. and it’s more powerful than the review states.

My clipboard app of choice is SavvyClipboard [http://www.blitzclicksoft.com/], which is not mentioned here and which I think is underrated, especially with it’s $12 price tag. I was going to say why I liked it so much and once I got started typing, decided to add it to my own blog, which sorely needed an update. Thanks for spurring me to action!

Although I do not deny the utility of a hi-fi clipboard manager for anyone who requires it, I myself would never find the rationale behind paying 30$ for a license to such a software.

Maybe its the lower buying capacity of we developing nation people, maybe its just because there’s no use for it, maybe because we’re used to free stuff, maybe all three.

Jumpcut FTW!

Thanks for this post! I have used or purchased every clipboard manager on it and not been happy with any of them, except for ClipMenu. I had never even heard of it, so I tried it and it is exactly what I wanted. Unobtrusive, simple, and Totally Awesome! And it’s free! What!? You have made my day.
