Features

  • NEW! Favorites: Keep often used clippings easily accessible with the new favorites support. The first 9 clippings can be easily pasted using a keyboard shortcut.

  • Always at your fingertips: all of Clyppan’s functionality can be reach via the keyboard. Clyppan is designed so that you never need to reach for the mouse — unless you want to.

  • Rapid Paste: use Rapid Paste keyboard shortcut to put the next item in Clyppan’s list on to the clipboard. This is a great way of pasting multiple items without switching away from the application you’re working in.

  • Quick Preview: get a better look at what you’ve copied. The Quick Preview feature allows you to view the whole text, not just the first line. Simply selecta clipping from the list and hit Spacebar to bring up the Quick Preview window.

  • Search: find any clipping fast by using the built in search functionality. You can also search for the application where you copied the clipping from.

  • Persistent: all clippings are stored on disk, so your clippings are safe even if you restart Clyppan or even restart your Mac.

  • OS X Lion compatible: Clyppan works perfectly on Lion and works really well together with applications that support Lion’s full screen feature.
