Clipboardic

Clipboardic records Clipboard text content to history to let you retrace your steps when working on various projects. You can find out when text and URL clips were added, and save all information to file. The tool keeps track of any other types of copied content, such as files or images, but it can only display text.

Portable utility with a simple GUI

The whole program consists of a single executable file that doesn't require any DLL files to run, and doesn't modify Windows registry settings. You can save the .exe anywhere on the hard drive or on a removable storage unit, and simply double-click it to launch Clipboardic. However, you should keep in mind that it creates temporary .clp files for each new clip.
The user-friendly interface is based on a regular window, where separate entries are created as soon as the Clipboard gets new content. As previously mentioned, the tool creates temporary .clp files as soon as a new clip is added.

View, find and export clip details

You can find out when each clip was added, the clip type (e.g. text, image, Explorer file), file size, computer name, and clip description (for text only).
Any clip can become the active one in the Clipboard by just selecting its entry in the list. It's possible to delete all Clipboard files, use a search function to quickly track down a specific clip, show grid lines and time in GMT, as well as copy or save information to text, CSV, HTML or XML.
Moreover, you can minimize the tool to the system tray, disable Clipboard live monitoring, or automatically sort all entries at each update. By default, all Clipboard files are cleared on exit, and this option can be disabled.

Evaluation and conclusion

No error dialogs popped in our tests, and the application didn't hang or crash. As expected, it left a small footprint on computer performance, using low CPU and RAM. To conclude, Clipboardic facilitates a simple interface for managing Clipboard history.
