iClipboard for Mac6.0.0

Unbelievable! Chronos- how could you?? Version 1.1 never worked correctly. It was bug ridden. For instance, 1.1 promised plain text paste but it never did work. Now you say this is a "new" feature in 2.0 and you charge for it. Chronos is an unethical developer that charges upgrade fees for bug fixes! Just go and check out the reviews of SOHO Notes and SOHO Organizer.

I love it It has been a great help in my job as a teacher. thanks for it

I'd had this on my Mac for quite a few years. It worked well. It saved me time. Then I got a"New Version Available" notification. Yippee! Unfortunately, when the "30 day free trial" ended I discovered the problem no one told me about, Chronos was no longer supporting the app, but there was no way to buy a license for the newer version. So now I can't use the app, can't upgrade it either. What a clusterf**k. Fortunately, I was able to use an uninstaller app, and they do have the old versions available on the Support page. Also, I have an app where the License Key for the old version is kept. So at the end of the day, - good app, lousy support.

I've tried many a Clipboard manager,, and the combination of Library, custom naming and sets for history and other features really sold this one for me! Now the latest news is it doesn't work in Mojave, 10.14.2 (my version). So I decided to trust my instincts/voices that told me to dig back in the archives and try a 'legacy' version. So I did ...and IT Works! Now using verxion 3.0.6 [Which can be downloaded from the chronosnet website.] Woo-Hoo, back in biz.

I have been using iClipboard for years but after the Mojave update it would no longer launch. I thought that perhaps I needed a to update iClipboard as well so I paid again for a download. It does not launch either and after two attempts with support and no response I'm moving on to something else. Beware.

I have never, ever received a response to a support request from this company. I like iClipboard, but their service is terrible--and most of the products not updated or up to par.

I boughjt version 6, lost my license, changed my computer and the product has been driopped. I have no way of using my favourite clipboard manager. This sucks.

So Chronos lists iClipboard as no longer supported on their website here: https://www.chronosnet.com/downloads/old At the top of this page is this disclaimer: "Chronos does NOT sell licenses to older versions of our products because they are no longer being actively developed (no more bug fixes, improvements, etc.). We make these older versions available for current owners who need to reinstall due to hard disk crashes, accidental deletes, etc."

I own and use version 4. I paid for but found v. 5.0.0 UNSTABLE and submitted two support tickets in Nov-2014 and NEVER got any support. NONE. Went back to using v.4 with only an occasional problem - it would quit running and vanish with no error message. But with 30 days to test 6.0.0 at no charge I've downloaded it to two 10.11.4 Macs and immediately note it still has one of the EXACT SAME problems 5.0.0 does: when I reboot I get a message warning me there is not enough space in the menu bar for iClipboards icon. To this error message (as in the past) I say BS - my main screen is a Dell 32" 4K display with lots of free menubar space. The other is a 15" MacBook Pro Retina. I believe the developer never learned to program for UHD and Retina displays. Another reviewer here referred to v6 being a paid bug fix from v5. Well - at least one major bug is STILL HERE. For me - as long as v4.x keeps working Chronos won't get my $$$$ (see my new vs upgrade pricing comments here as well.)

There is no discount to upgrade! Price for a new single license is $9.99 and the upgrade is $9.99 Family pack new: $14.99 and upgrade price is $14.99 So Chronos would rip off previous owners by not offering any discount. Bet they will raise the new prices to fix this...

I have been using iClipboard v5.0 since it came out, and I have never found any bug and never had to contact the support because there was no need for that. A User Guide is available directly from the Help menu. My system version is currently 10.10.5 (Yosemite). I'm neither going to comment on the company's support, which is apparently non-existent, nor the price, because I actually got iClipboard as a birthday present from a friend. iClipboard, SOHO Organizer and SOHO Notes have all been discontinued, so don't expect any new versions of iClipboard. It's a pity, because from all the clipboard managers I have tried—and they are many—I have found iClipboard to be among the best. Copy'em Paste has a similar set of features, but lacks sounds and the comfortable way to edit clippings that iClipboard offers. If you have copied some text, you can edit it in a TextEdit-like window with an advanced formatting toolbar; this enables you, for example, to color parts of the text, underline it, change the alignment, etc. You can't do that in Copy'em Paste. Both have one glaring omission. If you copy text from a Web site, the URL is not preserved, so if you don't work on the text right away, you will end up with a lot of snippets and have no idea where you got them from.

You can look at my Comments for iClipboard 5.0 from 9-Dec and 22-Dec about new problems I have reported directly to them and now at 36 days I've had no reply back via their web site support ticket. So time for a review. iClipboard 4 was great - I found it functional (multi levels of clipboards and had no issues with it.) Along comes 5.0 and immediately I have two very serious issues which I copy/paste here from my 9-Dec comments. 1 - I have iClipboard on the left of the screen. iCB also opens if I can anywhere in the Finder along the left edge. It does not require me to click the iCB TAB itself. I've noticed the area that causes this is dependent on how tall the iCB tray would be when open. The shorter the tray the shorter the area along the edge that causes it. VERY intrusive bug. 2 - iClipboard 5.0.0 shows the error "Menu bar is currently too crowded to display iClipboard icon" each time I restart my MacPro 2013. It also shows the same error if I do not have it start at login and then manually launch it. I use a 32-inch Dell UP3214 UltraHD (4K) display so my menu bar has tons of blank space. NOTE: this same error shows on my 2012 MacPro Retina. #1 is a real PIA causing me repeated times of having to close the unwanted opening of the sidebar. #2 I can live with. But to get no support after 36 days is horrid. They claim 48 hour response but do not do such. I would still give the app 5 stars for doing what it claims but will deduct 2 stars for the bugs and 1 star for the non-existant tech support.

TOO EXPENSIVE! And even unable to find the courage to write simply and honestly '30 $!!!!

I've gone full circle, have used them all.. keep returning to iClipboard, sturdy, and the new look is really swell :0) Gone is the plasticky shine :0)

Have tried all the others keep returning to this one works well the key stroke pop up window to keep on screen for heavy copying and pasting works really well I don't use the paste blaster or the slide in shelf and have these turned off. It is fast I have the storage limit to 10 clips.

Overall, I've been pretty happy with iClipboard, but the changes to version 4 were a mixed bag. Some of the changes were great, while others were a step backwards. Allowing the use of multiple "projects" is a great idea, but in practical terms it really doesn't work. When you're busy working on projects, you don't have time to think about changing your iClipboard settings every time, so ultimately you end up with a whole lot of unrelated clips in one place. That wouldn't be so bad if it worked like older versions, where you could protect clippings. But removing that option to permanently protect clippings was a huge step backwards. Now you have to delete all or manually remove what you don't want. That's really bad. Manual removal takes way too long. One saving grace is that when you name your clippings they aren't automatically deleted when the time limit is reached. But it's not as good as it used to be in that regard. Clippings don't always work. Far too often I've had to click the "Edit" link and re-save an older clipping before it will work again. Doesn't matter if it is set to plain text or rich. But in terms of how the app handles plain vs. rich text, version 4 is an improvement. The newer version does a better job of memory management, with much more stability. But it is a bit slow overall. Even deleting clips takes at least 2-3 seconds each (on a new Mac Pro no less), a lifetime in computer time. When deleting clips with complex formatting or foreign characters it can take up to 8 seconds, which I consider unacceptable. And during the deletion process, iClipboard freezes up so you can't scroll or do anything else in the list until those seconds are up. This is cumbersome.

I am giving it 2 stars mainly because of the customer service (or lack of). I have emailed them 3 times in the past month with a very simple questions, and yet no answer. and that's to bad, because I do like working with it. However I REFUSE to shell out 29.99 if I cant get any support.

Tried them all and keep coming back to this the current 4.10 really works well and reliable ram usage has gone down. Will go down more if the paste blaster is turned off. Mine sits around 20-30 meg ram. It is fast and having the shelf as a floating pallet with a key stroke is excellent for heavy duty pasting. I do a lot of graphic and text work and this had not let me down with the v paste problem fixed I give it 5 stars

Been using this ever since iClip was left to die.. (it was revived lately.. but I cannot see why i would give up iClipboard for iClip as it works perfectly). Not sure why this has gotten so many bad reviews... For many years I used CopyPaste.. then iClip.. then iClipboard since version 3. Never failed me. I'm a graphic designer/web designer.. I copy/paste all day-long..

Oh noes! It's CHRONOS again. Why do they bother?

POS. Clips are replicated multiple times -sometimes as many as five or six. I cannot reliably pull-down the menu bar. The company does not respond to requests for assistance. I cannot recommend under any circumstance at this time.

From when i upgraded to version 4, iclipboard disappeared. No way to have it back. It is on, as it is the option to have it visible, but whatever i do, i can not access it again. And when i try to disable it, that's what its control panel says: "Make sure all dialogs with the service application have been dismissed, then try disabling again". I probaly will downgrade to version 3, that worked very well ....

iClipboard is truly an eye candy, but it felt a little heavy-handed to me. It's a matter of personal taste, but I felt this app had too many bells and whistles. The clip drawer that had been added to the edge of the screen felt a bit too much. Also, I was unhappy to discover that iClipboard added individual clips to Snow Leopard's services menu (after installing and using iClipboard for a while, some of my services disappeared from the contextual menu, so I opened System Preferences—>Keyboard—>Keyboard Shortcuts—>Services, and found that each of my iClipboard's clips was added to the services as "paste [enter clip name here]", or something along these lines. I understand the logic behind it, it's meant to enable the user another method of pasting clips, but personally I'd rather not have individual clips added to the services, either checked or unchecked, and I didn't find how to turn off this behavior). Many will appreciate this app's extra power-features and its lovely look. There's a myriad of pasting options, such as Paste Blaster for fast pasting, and more. There are clip previews. Also, being able to assign clips to different projects will appeal to many, as well as the ability to rename clips. However, iClipboard just wasn't for me. I was looking for something more lightweight, while still being able to save selected clips as snippets, so I ended up installing ClipMenu's latest developmental version 0.4.4a12 (which offers cosmetic improvement over ClipMenu's "official" version - the snippet editor has a separate window), and I'm pretty darn happy with it; ClipMenu is now my default clip manager and I'm done looking for replacements. Is iClipboard for you? The only way to tell is to try it out, I guess. Head over to the Chronos Web site and download a trial version.

iClipboard needs at least some documentation. I read about all its great features here, but upon downloading the app, it was unclear how to use the features or even what all the features were. Paste Blaster? Apparently iClipboard has some vaguely pornographic function, but heck if I know what it is. I went to the Chronos website and found user manuals in the support section, where there are manuals for iClipboard versions 1 and 2, but nothing for version 3. Seriously? No Help viewer or manual for a $30 clipboard app? Even a short readme file should suffice for a clipboard app.

I find this to be the best of the clipboards with a balance of features between all the different app. Very smooth and fast v 3.0.3 is very responsive Combines iClip, CopyPaste Pro X , with archives previews etc.

I have used Macs for over 20 years and in all that time I have never had a more frustrating experience than trying to install and use this software. It refuses to install and when this is reported to their Technical Support people, they are worse than useless. Their attitude seems to be 'Oh No! How could anyone dare to criticise our wonderful product!' and they take it personally if you say anything negative about it - such as 'I am having a problem.' I have decided to ditch this completely after 8 frustrating weeks of trying to get it to install. AVOID BUYING THIS. Chronos you should be thoroughly ashamed. Disgraceful.

I really like this app but I wish you could share your clipboard with other macs. I am currently using Stuf and love the shared clipboard feature. That's pretty much the only thing stopping me from purchasing iClipboard.

Really cool app. Way to expensive.

I am thoroughly impressed. I've gone through a plethora of different clipboard utilities, including: Clipboard Evolved, ClipMenu, Clips, iClip, Jumpcut, Stuf, and PTHClipboard. iClipboard has the features I want in an intuitive, well designed, and attractive interface. There are many customizing options to choose from, but they are not overwhelming, and there is no bloat. There is plenty for keyboard enthusiasts or those who prefer mousing around (I am the latter). I had not used iClipboard 3.0 for more than 10 or 15 minutes before hitting the purchase button, and there is no buyer's remorse, just pure delight.

I've tried them all... for a couple of years I was pretty happy with iClips.. at times I used Copypaste but I find it ugly and not very well done in terms of interface.. then I found this.. not long ago.. never heard of it... and it is actually quite cool !!! I'd advise anyone who's not completely happy with their clipboard manager to give it a try.

I find iClip works just fine with Snow Leopard 10.6.2.

Very slick and all, but I just want to mouseover the thing in the column that I want to paste, doubleclick it, and have it paste. I know you're supposed to click the "stamp" icon to paste items, but I don't like the icon bar that appears directly over the thing I want to paste, which completely obstructs my view.

I'm searching for a replacement of iClip - which doesn't work under Snow Leo anymore. I found iClipboard, but it's a pitty: Unfortunately iClipboard does not work with ArchiCAD.

I am trying this out again and I must say this is working really well it is fast similar in concept to iClip 4 but way faster and more responsive with a clean interface. The price is not that much different to say copypaste pro a $20 dollar upgrade. Have found it very stable no pauses even when copying very large clips on a Leopard G5 1.8 dual 7gig ram

I'm so glad version 2 has been released. Version 1 users like myself can upgrade at only $14.95! Fantastic, I can buy the same application again at only half the cost while receiving less than 10% of the benefits. Thank you but No!

I like the concept. The stated functionality is appealing and lead me to download and install iClipboard. Now on every restart it wants to install the preference pane. Unfortunately, it will not actually do so. Instead it errors and must be canceled. I would really like to see this work. I like the feature list but for now I'll stay with the tried and true iClip even though it has gotten really long in the tooth.

Based on long-standing bugs in SOHO notes(and to be truthful, Notes has always been buggy), Im clearing a wide birth between my downloads folder and iClipboar2 and other chronos products. The latest iClipBoard gets rave reviews for outstanding marketing and publicity. And their GUI is impressive. Even the eye candy makes my click-to-puchase mouse finger quiver, but as tempted as I am to try it - it's the tech support/Adam that I have lost any faith in. Don't expect a streamlined process to submit your tech requests, or a polite offer of help, and certainly don't expect timely support. I sent them three urgent requests over a period of several days before receiving any acknowledgement. I don't know if they are understaffed, poorly trained, or have no undertanding of "customer support" or just not very talented. But I won't buy any chronos products in future as a result of a buggy SOHO notes and (non-existent)support.

This should be a free update. I purchased iClipboard and used it probably one time. I have no problem with Chronos and their other applications. I did wait many years after using Chronos Consultant under OS 9 and SOHO Organizer 6. I even got a free upgrade to version 7. I probably should have done the same with iClipboard and waited until version 3 or 4. Version 1 was pretty bad. I'm not upgrading to version 2. PTH Pasteboard is still my choice for a clipboard application.

$30!!! Launchbar cost less than iClipboard and it has an good clipboard recorder amongst it's many great features.

Unbelievable! Chronos- how could you?? Version 1.1 never worked correctly. It was bug ridden. For instance, 1.1 promised plain text paste but it never did work. Now you say this is a "new" feature in 2.0 and you charge for it. Chronos is an unethical developer that charges upgrade fees for bug fixes! Just go and check out the reviews of SOHO Notes and SOHO Organizer.

No Tiger support? that's sucks!

$30 for a clipboard manager? LOL, I don't think so.

Ok, now this app has become more of a hindrance than a help. Since following the suggestions of chronos support, iClipboard no longer copies text using edit in the menu. Also, I had about 90 clips which have all seemingly disappeared. The duplicates in SOHO notes - some of the text clips have overwritten others. A big mess all round. So, I have to revise my earlier review and give this 2 stars. I certainly won't be using iClipboard until it's much more stable and so doesn;t interfere with my workflow.

In order to reply to the response from support, I have to submit another question on their website - this is irritating and I should be able to reply to the email sent by chronos support. The suggestions - delete app, reinstall, delete pref files etc. and try again makes no difference. Yes I can edit a clip of text in iClipboard if I copy it from a text editor, but that's it - all other clips cannot be edited.

v1.1 does not install a preference pane on my Mac, and therefore I have no control of the app. Asked for help at the Chronos website but no response so far.

Thanks for the fixes but I still can't edit clips. The 'edit' option is permanently greyed-out.

Chronos, thanks for adding that lovely "Empty" box that cannot be removed to the shelf--it is a perfect fusion of form and function.

The strap line for this product is, 'The ultimate clipboard manager'. Unfortunately the marketing people haven't used this app because even they would baulk at this claim. 1. You cannot move clips between Projects. 2. You cannot select non-contiguous clips. 3. You cannot select, delete or paste multiple clips. 4. You cannot edit clips. In short, you cannot manage clips. It stores a clip history that can quickly become unmanageable. 5. It is buggy. 6. It is beta ware that is being sold for $20 until 2008 and then they want $30 -- for a beta! Yes, put the product out to get feedback and free beta testing but charging for this turns my stomach. It has a pretty, eye-candy interface. Unfortunately, eye-candy has become the software panacea for substance. There is a long way to go for this product to live up to its claim.

Nice attempt trying to fix "the problem that would cause the Edit Projects window to not work correctly if hiding was enabled in the iClipboard preference pane." Did any of your QCers try moving the mouse around randomly to see what happens?

OK, I give Chronos big kudos for promptly fixing the problems I listed in my last review. However, there is at least one new problem, while not a show stopper is a pain. If you are not really careful when editing the projects screen it will collapse into the side of the screen and it does not spring back out when you mouse over it. If you are using the default right side this makes it impossible to close the editing dialog box. You have to open up system preferences and move the iclipboard to the left side in order to close the dialog box. Chronos developers: just disable the collapsing while the editing dialog box is open and that will fix the problem. And one feature request: please allow dragging into and out of iclipboard, that would seem to be simpler than the current system of clicking the paste button (which doesn't always show-up by the way). Still, great response time and good work so far.

iClipboard is working without a hitch for me now. After a rocky start, which was brief in any case, this version of the app has hit the mark. I appreciate the fixes put out by the folks at Chronos. They were quick to respond to the problems and the inconvenience on my end was minor. Give iClipboard a look.

I can't get this thing to even work on my system. It took one clip and that was it. No more clips, no paste, no drag and drop, nada. I also don't like the fact that they have an easy way to buy the product but NO way to report problems. You have to sign up with their web site to ask any questions or report any trouble . I am doing that now and will report on the response i get.

Well this second ( 1.0.1 ) release seems better but now I can't get the preferences to show ( On clicking the preferences option no window - all other windows open, licensing etc..). I also noticed that RSIZE memory is about 28Mb but the VSIZE is a whopping 2.93 Gb what's that all about ? The site seems to have been updated to show the difference between SOHO Notes and iClipboard which is a bit of a swindle for registered SOHO Notes users. They have less features and if they want iClipboards extras they have to pay for it and run it concurrently with SOHO Notes ( Chronos sticking it to their users ) Very disappointing customer care/public relations.

although I have not tried it (truth in posting) yet, I will be - lots of potential here for a great product. This looks like what I always thought iClip 4.0 (which was release Jan 2007 and no updates or news since!) was supposed to be. (guess iclip spent too much effort on making their weird porthole data (non)view windows...) Do they have a special low price for cross-grades from disenchanted users of iClip?

please, include uninstaller

There is a problem with the "Edit Projects" option when hiding option is selected. After selecting "Edit Projects," when the box pops up, there is now way to keep it from hiding whenever you move the cursor around. This makes it impossible to edit projects.

Hi Everyone, First, thanks to everyone that has tried out iClipboard. I wanted to give everyone an update on the various problems that have been reported: 1. A project not able to accept more than two clippings. This issue has been fixed. 2. Creating a project and the resulting name getting set to "Untitled". This issue has been fixed. 3. The Grab and Paste functions not working. We are investigating these two issues and have narrowed down the problem. We should have them fixed by the end of the day. We're hoping to release an update (version 1.0.1) either later today or tomorrow. Feel free to contact us directly with any other issues you may run into at the following URL: http://www.chronosnet.com/Support/ Thanks in advance. -Adam Chronos Team

I also own cuteclips , ipaste, iclip, copypaste - I used copypaste exclusively in Tiger, however in Leopard copypaste has become unreliable. Emails to support at copypaste have gone unanswered. iClip doesn't display rtf in Leopard, some text is randomly unreadable and the app randomly crashes. So I took advantage of the discount price and bought iClipboard and it's the best of the bunch - it does exactly what it promises and everything I want it to including pasting clips into text editors etc. Very pleased with iClipboard.

What is the difference between SOHO Notes clipboard feature and iClipboard ? Surely SOHO Notes has iClipboard built in ? Or is iClipboard somehow more versatile/different ? Or is it just that you don't have to have SOHO Notes running in order to use iClipboard ? I wish Chronos would be more enlightening with it's product releases.

I like the feature set and I would use it except I already have SOHO Notes. $10 more for SOHO Notes gets you almost all the features of iClipboard plus so much more.
