CuteClip 3 is the perfect companion for Mac OS X's native clipboard. It integrates perfect with the look of Mac OS X and completely stays out of the user's way. CuteClips sits in the background and continuously records changes to the clipboard in order to provide access to them when the user needs it.
CuteClips 3 is a complete rewrite, which we used to focus on what's most important: simplicity. The simple but highly efficient user interface allows the user to quickly find the clip that he/she is looking for. This is achieved providing a textual list of all clips for a perfect overview
I've tried numerous clipboard apps and most recently was settled on the clipboard features in Alfred. This, however, takes it to a new level. As mentioned previously, completely keyboard controllable, fast and unobtrusive. Excellent app!
CuteClips is absolutely fantastic. I used iClips before and always thought it was pretty good (until the developers abandoned it, that is). That's because I didn't know better.
CuteClips is much faster, more stable, and offers something that I've only grown to appreciate after using it for a while: it's fully keyboard controllable (but you can still use the mouse). The developer is very good answering emails, and will even share his future plans for the software (great things to come).
Last but not least, the price is very reasonable.
I personally wish the program had an iOS companion and cross-Mac synching, that's why there's a "feature" star missing. But that's just nitpicking.
I've been using CuteClips for some time now, and have come to rely on it. It's rock solid, simple and stays out of the way until I need it (I've tried several similar apps, and just like the way CuteClips fits into my workflow).
I had my first "issue" with it today (It turned out the problem was with my file system and had nothing to do with CuteClips itself), and was pleasantly surprised by the quick response from the developer, too -- adding great support to a great product.
Aaargh. I have now become totally dependent on CuteClips but it has stopped working. When I paste a clipping I get an error sound and get bounced into finder from whatever app I was in.
Love the program, but I must be missing something.
I had a couple of private clips. Pressed cmd-delete to eliminate all clips. It worked. My clips disappeared. So did the instructions because they are clips too.
I reinstalled. Instructions still gone. Removed file, downloaded again, reinstalled. Instructions still gone.
How do I get the instructions back? How do I remove all _my_ clips without losing the instructions?

Strange. The top of the CuteClips window should darken when you mouse over it, and you can use it like a standard window title bar to move the window. The "i" should be on the right side of this bar. Are you sure you haven't accidentally moved or expanded the window off of your screen?
I've tried other clipboard software and so far I'm liking it a lot because it's simple, Mac-like, and intuitive.
There are couple things I've noticed:
1. When uses Spaces under Leopard, when I have the clipboard pop up using a hotkey on one desktop, it will force Spaces to the other virtual desktop the popup was originally. In other words, when I'm trying to paste something in Word for instance in Space 3, I pop up CuteClips which is on Space 1, then I have to drag CuteClips to Space 3 to paste what I want to paste on Word. Making the CuteClips Window appear without having to move through Spaces would be an importance feature to have.
2. There seems to be a bug with the ordering system through the App. I finished buying the beta, but I couldn't save the receipt. The save dialog didn't work and was frozen.
All in all, it looks promising, and a far better alternative to the pricier apps out there.
Fantastic application, but for some reason this version crashes every time on startup. Unfortunately can't go back to the previous version as that beta has expired. Hopefully this gets fixed.
why don't you guys send me an email with the details of a crash, unfortunately developers are not notified when someone writes a comment about their software on MacUpdate.

CuteClips 3 is a complete rewrite, which we used to focus on what's most important: simplicity. The simple but highly efficient user interface allows the user to quickly find the clip that he/she is looking for. This is achieved providing a textual list of all clips for a perfect overview in addition to a huge preview for a detailed view of a clip.
To activate CuteClips 3 the user can either use the the menu item or the HotKey, which defaults to Command-Shift-V, the shortcut for pasting but with a pressed shift key. CuteClips can either be controlled by mouse, but also via keyboard, which makes it useful also for seasoned users who prefer speed and efficient usability.
To prevent clips from being automatically deleted, the user can make clips sticky or assign shortcuts to them. With these shortcuts the clips can be pasted without even searching for them. The user just needs to activate CuteClips and hit the shortcut key and its clip is pasted instantly. Some more advanced features in CuteClips are the ability to paste any clip as plain text, paste multiple clips in a row or paste only parts of a clip.
Feature Highlights:
Easy to use interface
Big preview for each clip
Fully accessible via keyboard or mouse
Automatically records any changes to the clipboard in background
Keep track of 12 - 50 clips
Richtext clips can be pasted as plaintext with ease (press cmd when selecting the clip)
Paste several clips in a row by selecting them with space
Make clips sticky to prevent them from being deleted automatically
Assign shortcuts to clips for faster access
Paste only parts of clips, e.g. only the name of a copied file

This is weird.

Currently you need to remove the folder ~/Library/Application Support/CuteClips3 to remove all clips and make CuteClips use its default clips.
