ClipMate

Plain Clipboard Manager (PCM) monitors the Windows clipboard and saves any copied text to plain text files in utf-8 (unicode) format. The captured clip will include the source application and document title. For text copied from web pages a link to the source web page is included. Any copied images and screenshots are saved as PNG files (using lossless compression). The Clip storage folder is configurable: you can also save your clipboard items to a cloud drive like Dropbox or OneDrive for synchronization purposes. PCM can be either installed or run portable. When run from usb stick all configuration and clip notes are saved on the same stick. It's a native Windows application: fast, small (a 0.5 MB sized all-in-one native Windows executable file; compare that to others!) and portable. Another feature of Plain Clipboard Manager is the option to configure short keywords (so called key templates) that will be dynamically expanded to the full text when entered anywhere.

The Microsoft Office (And most other) clipboard managers simply retain the last few clips so that you can copy more than once before pasting. That functionality doesn't even scratch the surface of what Spartan can do! You can save clips permanently. You can take (and edit ) screen shots. You can create clips which automatically include the system date and time. You can encrypt sensitive clips like your passwords and credit card details. You can paste any digital photo or graphic file on your PC simply by browsing to it and clicking a button - and you have the option to paste it in the format accepted by Outlook, Outlook Express and Windows Mail which other clipboard managers do not offer. Best of all, if you have more than one PC, you can synchronize your clip data via OneDrive. As well as a clipboard manager, you get a year planner, a graphics editor and a picture browser thrown in. Clips which are Web addresses work as bookmarks.
