25 Clips

Doing research is probably the most time-consuming stage of any project, especially when handling lots of sources you need to synthesize in order to create original content.

Copying and pasting strings of texts is one of the tasks that tend to become quite annoying, given its repetitive nature and the fact that you constantly have to switch from one application to another in order to safely store the content you find. However, a tool such as 25 Clips is here to lessen the burden.

Before anything else, a few words about the clipboard manager’s core capabilities are in order. It can manage everything you copy or cut from programs you use and automatically stores the text, so you no longer risk accidental data loss. Besides, it can also store graphic clips since it can capture your entire screen, the active window or a specific area.

Up to 25 clips can be saved by the program, each of them being assigned a letter if this seems convenient to you. As for the way the content is grouped, you can ask the clipboard manager to show it chronologically or from the latest to the first entry.

As for editing options, you can select all your clips and delete them in bulk or remove them individually, and you can change the font of the text you copied.

In case you don’t want the clipboard manager to spot content you copy from a particular program, you can exclude said piece of software from the list it monitors.

What’s more, the program incorporates a series of buttons, related to form filling, Internet bookmarks, email, unformatted text, DOS, etc., which you can enable. Once you have done that, they appear as you hover the cursor over the clip and can perform automatic tasks for you. For instance, the NET button will be displayed when it spots a valid URL, which it will open in the browser.

Besides, the ease of use is once again confirmed by the fact that you can activate the clipboard manager using hotkeys, unless you want it to run at Windows startup, that is. Since the clipboard manager hides in the systray, it won’t affect your workflow in any way, so it should be a great solution regardless of your workload.

All in all, 25 Clips is a useful application letting you easily manage content you copy or cut from other apps. As its very name suggests, it can store up to 25 such pieces of text, and emptying all the info it logs and starting from scratch should be a breeze. It is easy to use, and your workflow should be considerably improved by all the benefits it brings.
