CopyPaste Pro
Itty bitty update of the major update of the classic multiple clipboard utility. Not only stores multiple clips in the clipboard, but clips are editable, archived for future use, multiple view capable. We prefer PTH Pasteboard, though CopyPaste is very good.
Never lose a clip again—every copy is saved and available in a clip browser. Edit any clip instantly with the handy built in word processor. Create archives to keep any important clips you want to save and use later.
9WR - CopyPaste Pro: Stores multiple clips, edits, archives, accessible history, multiple views.
