CLIB

The Windows clipboard is a nifty feature of the operating system, as it helps users copy not only files and folders to other locations, but also texts and screenshots without too much of a hassle.

CLIB is one of the apps that you can turn to when you want to invest more power into the aforementioned clipboard.

Once you install CLIB on your computer and you run it, your default browser is launched and the dashboard of the app is displayed (the supported browsers are Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer 9+).

Despite the fact that the GUI is web-based, all the data is stored locally, so you should not worry about privacy issues. Moreover, you can also protect the settings by selecting a username and a password which will be requested every time CLIB is accessed.

Whenever CLIB is running and you copy text to your clipboard, it will be automatically added to its dashboard, along with some relevant hashtags.

If you want to make sure the same happens when you take screenshots, you can either use the Windows-native PrintScreen command (assuming it is not already associated with another app) or the default hotkeys which can be adjusted to your liking.

The monitored clipboard contents can then be explored in a highly intuitive manner, while also offering you the chance to copy some of the older snippets to your clipboard with a single mouse click.

You can search for a certain entry by entering the keyword you are interested in and all the snippets whose contents match your criterion are displayed.

On the other hand, you can also group the items by assigning them hashtags, thus making it easier for you to explore all the records related to a specific subject (especially useful for programmers working on multiple projects simultaneously).

CLIB comes in handy to all those who are not pleased with the current functions of their clipboard or who want to be able to browse through the clipboard contents without restrictions.
