Charles Moore Checks Out Clipper 1.0, Free Mac OS X Multiple Clipboard History App.
•Hot Topics •Reviews •Utilities Reviews •Comments •Tell-a-Friend
There have been a variety of Mac OS multiple clipboard solutions over the years, both built into applications (eg: Nisus Writer Classic) and freestanding. Some of them have been quite powerful, but a shortcoming that's generally made me find them less than practically useful is the level of complexity they add.
Clipper, on the other hand is a tiny, simple Mac OS X clipboard history application. All it does is sit on your menu bar and saves stuff you copy to the clipboard, which you can select retrieve with a mouse click.
The developer says:
"Back in 2003 when I bought my first Mac - a shiny new iBook - I got an itch. Before switching I had become accustom to a brilliant little KDE app called Klipper. All Klipper did was to keep a history of stuff you'd copied. Nothing more, nothing less.
I missed Klipper…bad. I looked around for similar application for the mac, but didn't find any that felt as simple as Klipper. I just wanted a simple that would stay in the background and didn't consume any resources.
One day the the itch got too strong. The result of my scratching is Clipper - the simplest clipboard history manager I could write."
The project was a success. Clipper works exactly as described. It's all I want in a Clipboard history manager, and I will actually use it. It's also free. Cool.
Clipper's Preferences are also admirably straightforward.
Any complaints? Well, it would be nice if there was a cache so the Clipboard history didn't get deleted in a reboot, but then that would no doubt make the program bigger and more complex.
System requirements:
Mac OS X 10.4 or later.
System Support:
PPC/Intel
Free
