After 60 days in use, freeclip & 101clips turn out as annoying nag screen applications to buy the Spartan Pro Clipboard. Ridiculous name: freeclip – wankers!

CtrlSee is a simple clipboard manager where you can switch between previously copied items quickly. You can find it here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ctrlsee/. It is open source, so it is free!

I am running Vista x64, and have tried several clip managers, but the best I have found is a sidebar gadget by Jan Zeman called, appropriately enough, Clipboard Manager, v2.1.1.1. It can be found at http://www.janzeman.com. It is a terrific manager, and can do tons of things…and it is easy to use.

PhraseExpress seems to have quite extensive features. Can’t believe that I have missed that out.

Thanks for the recommendation. I guess I really have overlooked that. Will check it out.

I quite like PhraseExpress (Autotext – Clipboard Utility – Snippets Organizer) which you can download here:

http://www.phraseexpress.com/

Features include:

- Organize frequently used text snippets.
- Expand abbreviations as you type.
- Launch programs with text shortcuts.
- Auto-complete repetitive phrases.
- Quick access to the Windows Clipboard History.
- Correct spelling mistakes in any application.

p.s. When installing, don’t select all the integration options until you’re sure it’s a keeper.

I found 101 Clips after trying many other clipboard tools. I ran the free trial of Spartan Clipboard that is included with 101, spent $10 for the upgrade, and I have never looked back.

Spartan gives me 20 sheets that I can name, each with 9 x 64 cells that hold graphics or text clips. I haven’t discovered the maximum size of a text clip – I think well over 50k. Plus search, back up and diverse editing functions (Proper Case, UC, lc, strip html, strip surplus spaces, strip line feeds, etc.), color coding, and optional pasting modifier buttons. It has become my organizer for phone numbers, addresses, the stuff I tried to put in Google Notes and Google Docs, and all my boilerplate. You can even assign a “friendly” name to each clip. I got the portable version, so I have my clips on any machine. By now, my backups run 5 – 10 Megs.

And if you don’t want to buy Spartan, you can switch it back to free 101! Many of you will find that enough. A very well conceived tool, simple to use, easy to hide and restore.

About Ditto, I’ll give it a try.

Thanks Matt for your comment.

I used to use Hamsin Clipboard religiously too, but it’s getting on a bit now – and frequently screws up when using VMs.

Ditto is an excellent replacement and can do everything Hamsin can and more.

My favorite one is Hamsin Clipboard 3.03:

The 101clips is exactly the same software as FreeClips, which I mentioned in the article

Nice list, but I really think you might have overlooked this http://www.copypastetool.com/
For me as a coder it does exactly what is needed, no more no less. One of those “why isn’t this the defalt behaviour” kind of things

I found this Vista sidebar gadget: http://home.arcor.de/clipboarder/
Its called clipboarder and I thought it was easily the simplest way to manage the clipboard in windows.

I’ve been using Kana Clip http://www.kanasolution.com/index.php?fid=5&pid=2 for years now and really haven’t found a better program.

In combination with X mouse button control I have linked it to one of my two extra buttons on my mouse for very quick access. The other button is used by Kana Launcher although I don’t use it as often.
