ClipMate7.5.26 Build 136

ClipMate is a comprehensive software application that records the Clipboard history and lets you save, secure and manage clips. It comes bundled with a bunch of advanced options for experienced users.

Systray accessibility

Once launched, it creates an icon in the system tray area for quick access, and it automatically starts recording new clips, playing a sound effect every time a new clip is stored.The main app window has a professional-looking structure, where you can explore the inbox, safe, overflow, samples, virtual items, trash can, and search results.

Store and manage clips

Clip information includes the date and time, size, and the program source. Clips can be exported to file as JPG, PNG, BMP or XML, merged, sent to the safe, as well as encrypted with a password.It's possible to back up and restore the clip database, put together clip collections, take screenshots, and filter outbound clips.

Run advanced searches and customize clip text

ClipMate also enables you to conduct advanced clip search options by applying filters for the content (e.g. title, text, creator, source URL), format, time, collection, encryption, and other aspects.Furthermore, it's possible to convert the text case (e.g. uppercase, lowercase), remove line breaks, activate a spellchecker, change the title and shortcut, strip out non-text data formats, convert file pointers to text and Unicode to ANSI, and enable an automatic capturing tool, among others.

Evaluation and conclusion

There were no kind of stability issues in our tests, thanks to the fact that the application didn't freeze, crash or prompt error dialogs. It left a small footprint on system resources, using low CPU and RAM.The downside is that ClipMate isn't that intuitive, and it takes a while to figure out all features. Nevertheless, it comes packed with a lot of advanced and practical options dedicated to Clipboard management.
