There are a wide range of clipboard apps-and you need something simple to rely on, a tool that's as easy to use as your clipboard, just better. If you want to paste something you copied a while back, that's when you'll turn to the clipboard manager. Keep your clipboard manager app running on your computer, then copy text, links, images, files, and more with Command+ C or Control+ C as normal-and paste as normal, too. I'd never thought I needed a clipboard manager for the longest time-once I started using one, though, it became indispensable.Ĭlipboard managers work like your built-in clipboard. They're super clipboards that remember everything you copy so you can still paste that item you copied an hour ago and almost forgot. Now you've lost the important thing you'd copied previously. Then you see a funny video on your way between tabs and copy it to share with a friend. The bad side is when you copy-or worse, cut-something from a document or spreadsheet, intending to paste it into another document.
It's served you well all these years-and hey, on a Mac, it can even remember two things at once. The clipboard built into your computer is pretty good.
