Online Manual
CopyPaste Pro is the latest version of CopyPaste and is a complete rewrite and update. CopyPaste has been massively popular since its first release. What has made it so widely appreciated? Usefulness. CopyPaste magnifies and multiplies the usefulness of the humble clipboard.
One of the revolutionary features that came with the Mac in 1984 was the unique ability to select text or pictures, etc, then copy that data into a clipboard, to hold that content temporarily and then paste it in the same application or a different one. The clipboard was used to transfer all kinds of info between programs on the Mac, and later this feature was imitated in many other operating systems.
A few years later CopyPaste was the first application to add multiple clipboards. This meant that more data could be moved in less time. CopyPaste also allowed these multiple clipboards to be displayed, edited, archived and saved through restarts. CopyPaste revealed the untapped potential of the Mac clipboard.
The latest incarnation of CopyPaste has those same underlying abilities, but with this latest version unveiled in 2008 (CopyPaste Pro) a new instantly available window (like the Apple application switcher) that lets you navigate through the Clip History and Clip Archive with a speed and ease that is again as revolutionary as the first version of CopyPaste. An editor called Bean is now part of the CopyPaste Pro ecology. Bean allows you to edit clipboards.
CopyPaste Pro is profoundly simple to use and yet extremely powerful.
CopyPaste Pro Features:
- Multiple (unlimited depending on memory) clipboards available by hotkey, menu, contextual menu, clip palette and clip browser.
- Save all clipboards thru restarts. Never lose an edit again. This alone is a savior.
- Clip History maintains a stack of cuts or copies and even drags.
- Clip Editor (Bean) allows immediate editing of any clip and also is an excellent word processor.
- Clip Archives to keep available info you use repeatedly
- The Clip Browser allows vertically viewing all clips and their contents. Particularly good for pictures.
- The Clip Palettes allow horizontal viewing and access to all clips. Particularly good for text.
- Drag images from Safari directly into the clip history
- Clip Tools to act on clipboard data in dozens of useful ways that save time like: - Email extractor which grabs email addresses from large amounts of text - Url extractor grabs url's from large chunks of text, shorten urls (great for twitter) and many others
- Drag and drop any clip in the clip browser and to/from applications
- Contextual menus to give easy access to the clipboards from anywhere
- With the clip editor open text, PDF, RTF, HTML, Apple Archive and many other file types
- Easy ways to organize and make available all the clipboard data for reuse.
- Many more features built in and more coming....
CopyPaste has been available for over 10 years. Users of those earlier version (CopyPaste+yType, CopyPaste-X, CopyPaste Classic) may be interested in the changes from those earlier versions.

- Much faster; especially on Intel Macs and in Leopard.
- Rewritten in Cocoa and Objective C, to access the latest Mac OS X features for fast and rock-solid development and upgrades.

LUX I've been testing the public beta for a few days now, running OS X 10.5.6 and I have experienced no problems whatsoever. I am pleased to see the return of the vertical clipboard (browser). Unless I've missed something, I would like to be able to drag & drop using the vertical browser with the option to have the vertical and horizontal browsers sticky. Compared to PTHPasteboard, CopyPaste Pro is a very elegant app - as the PTHPasteboard window fills up with clips it looks messy and rather ugly, not so CopyPaste Pro. However, it would be great if there was a search facility (like PTHPasteboard), in CopyPaste Pro which would allow me to search scores of clip archives, all containing the maximum number of clips using a word or phrase. Overall, I like the way CopyPaste Pro is developing - keep up the excellent work!

CHRISTOPH VOGELBUSCH CopyPaste can be called the father of all Mac clip boards, since it has been around almost since the early ages of MacOS. CopyPaste Pro has come a long way, presenting itself in a new interface. In opposite to it's competitors, CopyPaste offers many different convenient ways to access the stored clip boards, so you can chose which one is best for you. For me every method seems to make sense in a certain setting. My favourite is the double V feature. So when you don't want to paste the latest clipboard all you have to do is press the V a second time and you have access to all Clipboard... The whole storage of clipboards is actually very cool especially since it allows you to edit them, why don't others not support this feature? And there are many more features you will discover for you, that will make your life easier, since copy paste even supports things like extracting eMail addresses from an eMail and sort the alphabetically. Cool huh? Give Copy Paste a try, after all: All others are just clones of CopyPaste.

NESSUNO I have been a CP user for about a decade now, but I miss its former absolute reliability. Again and again, CP doesn't copy anything. I'd rather see this basic-basic-basic problem fixed than hundreds of features that no one *needs* implemented.

LEOPOLDBLOOM A nice update to an excellent app. This is by far the best of all the multiple clipboard apps I've tried. I'm a little confused, though, as to why the developer released a series of 1.1 betas then suddenly jumped to 2.0. Oh well, it's apparently a free update for 1.x licence holders, though it doesn't seem to say that anywhere.

MURLYN I have been using copypaste for years and it just keeps getting better. I run it when I have a lot of copying and pasting to do and need to maintain my clipboard and it works flawlessly. Great job you guys!

SILWIT I loved CopyPaste with OS 9. Then the developers needed to retool it when I switched to 10.4. They did. Those two versions were better than the many multiple clipboard apps I also tried (especially tried while waiting for CP to be retooled). I had a bit of conflicts between it and some of the many other constantly-running apps I use, where I had to tweak things a bit. Now that's no longer a problem. Yowza for my needs and wants, the ability to edit the clips, the many ways to view what's in the clip history palette and in the archive palettes, and the many ways to copy and paste from those palettes! The new manual is so much better. CopyPaste was great for my needs and wants to begin with and it just keeps getting better.

LUX I've posted before about CopyPaste Pro not saving clips copied before restarts when "save clips when quitting" is checked in preferences. I have found that the only way to be sure that all clips are remembered in history is to quit CopyPaste Pro before restart. Here is part of a reply I received from the developer July 3 2009: "i thought before i check in with peter again on that that i would check again to see if it occurs and strangely enough it i did. so you are correct there is a problem with the history not remembering items copied before a restart. i will let peter know and he will get back to us shortly."

LUX No change with version 2.1. Does not remember history after restarts. Part of archives lost after restart. I can't use this software.
