iPaste is a tool to make clippings (e.g. pieces of text, images, PDFs, etc.) that you commonly paste into applications easily accessible via HotKeys and a contextual menu. It is an unobtrusive clipboard manager that has a small footprint so it is forgiving on system resources. No cluttering windows necessary and it can be hidden from the Dock.
What's New
Version 1.1.3: Release notes were unavailable when this listing was updated.
I can't figure out how to clear recent clips. I've never seen a clipboard app that doesn't have this feature. I can't even figure out how to hide and show the clip palette. When I double click on a clip to edit it, the app crashes. When I manually try to delete clips, it will crash after three or four are removed. The contextual menu shows up when it wants to. I've uninstalled and reinstalled. I was able to duplicate these issues on all four of my Macs. I can't even remember the last time this app was updated. This app has been trouble for me for quite sometime. I give up!!
Since upgrading to Leopard I've been looking for a compatible clipboard utility (iSnip keeps crashing in Leopard), so I bought an iPaste registration key but it doesn't work.
I had the same problem with ipaste, the registration window did not go away. ipaste emailed me back the next day and the problem had been fixed. I just needed to re-download ipaste. I love this software and so glad it works with Leopard so quickly.
It does exactly what it is supposed to do and does it very well. Very easy to use and stays out of the way. The best 13 bucks i've spent on a program, well worth it.
I'm surprised iPaste doesn't get more attention even in the relatively crowded clipboard enhancer market. It's unobtrusive and flexible. I like the ability to create a number of distinct clipboards and make some items permanently available.
Other applications offer similar features but I think iPaste gets it just right. The only thing that stops me using it is that some of these features are contained in Quicksilver, though not as nicely implemented.

Recently Copied Items do not work with Hot Keys (dont know if Default Items work, have no use for this option).
I wonder what good for is the Keyboard Timing Delay when pasting: dont we all want to get things done fast?
The app is, unfortunatey, too slow: for instance, the clippings palette somehow blocks clicking in windows behind it (until thje palette fades away).
I still love the icon. ;)

Just to add one thing to my preceding comment: the app's icon is _very_ nice!! thank you! :)

Trying iPaste 1.1: the Hotkeys hardly work (most of the time not at all); removed iPaste-Icon from Dock. Changed Hotkeys to Recent-clippings. If it works, there is a _very_ long delay in pasting, although I set the delay to the minimum (0.1sec).
I am on a G3 Powerbook running 10.3.5. Is there a performance-issue? hardly possible though ...
iPaste looks and feels extremely nice, otherwise. Would love to give it another try ...
Suggestions: the clip-palette-bezel should disappear faster (at least on a G3, 8mb VRAM, no Quartz Extreme), or, even better, you should be able to adjust the display-time.
I prefer everything uncluttered (so no dock-icon is good!): I would even like to have no icon in the menu bar and to call iPaste only by short-cuts.
