iClipboard

As iClipboard appears to be dead, I like to point a few things out about iClip (which is my product): • iClip can import your clips from iClipboard. See http://iclipapp.com/help/iclipboard.html • iClip is nearly identical in features to iClipboard. • iClip is more configurable (hot keys, hot clicks for almost every operation). • iClip will be updated for 64 bit (see beta page where it'll become available first for testing). • Contact me (support@iclipapp.com) to get 50% off if you have a iClipboard license.

Rather than rate the company, as everyone below is doing, I'll rate the actual product: I personally find it best-in-class for this kind of software, and I have used pretty much all of them. iClip is fairly close, but it irritates me by not responding to double-click on a copied item to paste it; you have to click on a tiny little arrow icon instead. With iClipboard you just double-click it. The only reason this isn't 5 stars is that the app is fairly unstable. I sometimes have it crash multiple times per day (though sometimes it also runs all week without dying). However, I haven't found iClipboard, PTHPasteboard, ClipBuddy, etc., to be any more stable. I'm sorry that there's some kind of problem right now in getting the 6.0 version (a quick search shows it on at least one BT site, if you're willing to go that route), but I already downloaded it, and it works very well for me. I tend to agree with complaints below that, as just a bug-fix release, it should have been free (and been 5.something, not 6.0, since it added no new features). Same goes for it suddenly not being available from the author's site, after people have paid for it (we often need to re-download and re-install things). But that's nothing to do with how good this is as a piece of software, and it's darned good. I had a utility like this way back in the day under MacOS 9, and really missed it when making the jump to OS X, and had missed it every single day until I started using iClipboard, back around version 3 or whenever it was that I first found it.

Does iClipboard still exist? It's no longer on the Chronos website (except for older versions) and links from this MU page result in a 404 "Page not found" error page.

When iClipboard is working well, it's a great product. Just be aware that when there is a problem, there is also;utely no help available from Chronos. They do not reply to support questions. They say the are going to, but never do. Extremely poor customer support. There is no phone number to call. There is no other way to get help.
