Full featured, best I’ve found

I switched from PC to Mac and had been a loyal user of Ditto for many years. The very first thing I needed to do on my Mac was find a clipboard manager, any serious computer power user MUST have a clipboard manager, and it must support a library of clippings (frequent URLs that need to be emailed, html code snippets, etc)

I read some reviews and tried a few different freebies. Ditto being free had zero barrier to entry, and I didn’t want to spend anything until I was sure I’d be happy with it. The freebies in general were weak, so I knew I’d have to get a paid product. The reviews all seemed to point to Copy’em Paste so I splurged, it was a good choice.

Strengths:

* With the helper app, it’s single click to paste into any app on the Mac, this is a must have
* Great storage system for my clippings, very easy to use the dropdown to quickly search only a specific folder of clips
* Very quick search, auto-focus on the search box when opening the app
* Can search by clippings from a particular app, or of a particluar type
* Pause feature is great if you are copying/pasting stuff you don’t want in the history

Wish list:

* Can’t easily save screen shots, they are only written to the copy buffer
* The “area” screen cap feature is great, however the Copy’em Paste dropdown gets in the way, it should hide itself when in area screen cap mode
* Would be awesome if the screen cap had simple annotation features like Monosnap
* I wish the transform options were available as a context click on the clip, instead of as a global setting
