ClipMate

All The Clipboard You Need!

ClipMate

We've been frustrated by the limitations of the Windows clipboard for the last 13 years. Until just recently, that is, when we discovered ClipMate. ClipMate does everything we've ever wanted the Windows clipboard to do, not to mention a few other things we hadn't even thought of.

What's wrong with the Windows clipboard? It only holds one item. It pastes formatting when and where we don't want it. Let's face it -- it's nowhere near as useful as it really should be, especially considering how often we all use it.

ClipMate fixes all the deficiencies of the Windows built-in clipboard. For starters, it allows for multiple items and strips out RTF and newlines. But Clipmate also gives us other character cleanup, clip editing, and allows us to save the source of each clip. Throw in a screenshot tool (with and without the cursor), encryption, search.... ClipMate is an amazingly powerful, useful, and feature-rich program.

Written by Roger Thomasson

ClipMate gives you:

  • As many items as you want on your clipboard: no more losing what you've copied, and no more having to flip back and forth between windows to get multiple graphics or lines of text.
  • An easy way to strip out rich text, linebreaks, >s and other characters you don't want.
  • A way to paste any clip as text-only.
  • A powerful screenshot tool.
  • Portability! ClipMate can run right from USB flash drives - your data, program, and license all travel with you.
  • A way to save, organize and back up clips. No more adding text to files, or sending yourself emails of pieces of information you don't need long-term, but can't quite lose. URLs, purchase confirmations, phone numbers and much more.
  • Additional power-user features include the ability to configure which format of clip is pasted by default into any program. Also includes the amazing "Exploding PowerPaste" function that automatically divides delimited text into fields and pastes them into spreadsheets or databases.

Who Needs ClipMate?
We can't image anyone who doesn't! If you've ever:

  • Spent too much time going back and forth between windows, copying and pasting one graphic or piece of text at a time.
  • Pasted text into your text editor, just to get rid of the RTF formatting or Excel "intelligence" before pasting it where you wanted it.
  • Tried "drawing" a cursor on a screenshot.
  • Spent time manually removing linebreaks from copied text.
  • Lost some text you really wanted, by copying something over it on your clipboard.
  • Accidentally shut your browser window or tab, and lost the page you were reading.
  • Had to open a graphics editor just to flip or rotate an image, or a text editor just to check some spelling.
  • Bookmarked a webpage just so you'd be able to find it again the next day (and ended up with hundreds, if not thousands, of bookmarks).
  • Had to restart a flash demo dozens of times to capture and save all the screenshots you needed from it.
  • Tried to figure out how to make keyboard shortcuts for "Paste Plain Text" in Word and Excel.
  • Tried to remember and type something just because it was faster than using the clipboard.

Real Users Say:

  • “ClipMate is a MUST on my computer. I recommend it for anyone using a computer. ”- Kathy Henderson - Marketing Consultant, Freelance Writer & Editor
  • “I have been using ClipMate since about 1995 and I would not be without it. The time it has saved me cannot be measured.”- Michael Webb, WebbWorx Ltd.
  • “I recently had to change from one FTP client program to another. With about 50 entries in the old program I did not look forward to it. ClipMate 6.3 was my "typist in a box" and saved me a ton of time and effort!”- Jim Sewell, Jim Sewell Computing Solutions
  • “Initially, I didn't think I needed Clipmate - now I can't work without it.”- Rob Hamilton
  • “I started working with Clipmate 3 around 12 years ago, since then it has always been the first MUST on every new computer or Windows version through the years.”- Gert Heimbold, technical documentation expert
  • “One of the most useful programs I have; ideal for managing frequently used information and for making sure you don't lose track of snippets you're collecting.”- Mary Branscombe, technology journalist

    Great to see such a great utility offered here. Could you please tell us what is your licensing resrictions - one computer only, or desktop plus laptop, or desktop plus laptop plus netbook? what is your upgrade policy? Does a USB install count as a computer? Are you offering a discount on the 5 license family pack also? THANKS!

    I have to agree with SC, it's exceptional.

    Easily the best of the clipboard extenders. Doesn't display graphics thumbnails, although it does have graphics preview, and has some minor display update issues. Otherwise, has every feature which you could want in a clipboard extender.

    Chris the developer here.... Thanks for the kind words!
    Software Guy - it's a regular license, just as if you'd paid full price. So you get to run it on two computers - your choice of whether one of those is on a USB stick (U3 or PortableApps). And the household pack IS included. It's regularly $79.95, but for the BDJ promo, you can get it for $49.95 - DAY OF SALE ONLY, of course!

    Agree with all the previous posters, without a doubt the best clipboard extender available, been a registered user for a good while now. For $19.95 its a gift grab it while you can.

    Another longtime Clipmate user here. I spend a lot of time on the computer, whether it's my writing or just email, and I've tried all the clipboard programs--this one is hands down the best, and well worth the full $35 I paid for my license.

    Highly recommend the purchase at such a steep discount--you'll wonder how you lived without it.

    I'm confused by the developer's comment that it's $79.95 normally and $49.95 today. The BDJ text says it's normally $34.95 and $19.95 today. I don't see a different version (ClipMate Pro?) at the developer's site.

    $19.95 is for 2 license version, Family pack is a 5 license version. Both are offered on sale today. Hope this clears up the confusion.

    There is no option using clipbar in windows 7 taskbar?
    or am i missing something..
  • Sep 4 2009 5:37pm
    Chris Thornton (Visitor)
    Julie - ClipMate definitely does run on Windows7. I'm using it right now.

    Mitch - as long as you're using the 32-bit Windows7, the ClipBar works fine. Make sure that your taskbar is unlocked, and be sure to drag the "bumpy part" to the left, and it should show right up. As for 64-bit, no "bars" from any 32-bit app will load.
