Genius

You don't have to be a writer or a programmer to understand and appreciate just how versatile and useful a clipboard manager can be in various situations. If you ever had to switch back and forth between your browser or a document or an app, copying and pasting multiple clips of information without a clipboard manager, then you know what we're talking about.

Happily, there's no real shortage of clipboard managers, as we're sure a quick search on our website will be enough to convince you of that, Genius being one of many.

Don't let yourself be deceived by its mundane, almost bland-looking user interface, as this lightweight clipboard manager has a lot of things going for it.

We'll start off with two very important elements for apps such as these, namely taskbar integration and support for system-wide shortcuts, both instrumental in making sure that your clipboard entries are always well within your reach. From the taskbar menu, you can turn off or pause the app, access its Settings section, clear or access the history, show the utility's main window, the works.

On the hot-key front, things are just as good, as the app allows you to customize shortcuts for useful operations. For instance, you can clear the history, paste the last entry, access the history menu, the Settings section, as well as summon the app's main window with the help of your computer's keyboard.

It also comes with support for text, HTML, images, and most other formats. There's also an option for quickly opening the items from your clipboard history using the Explorer. Mind you, not all formats are fully compatible with this tiny clipboard manager, but you are provided with the possibility to export the entries as files.

In conclusion, Genius is an efficient and non-impressive clipboard manager that gets a lot of things right. Granted, it may not be the most feature-packed, the most polished or eye-catching tool of this sort, but, all things considered, it does a decent job, in spite of a few bugs here and there.
