Copy Recorder

Copy Recorder is a simple-to-use and practical software application that automatically records all text clips you copy to the Clipboard and keep them organized in a history panel.

This way, you can retrace your steps when working in word processors. It doesn't integrate complicated options or configuration parameters, making it accessible to all types of users.

Once launched, Copy Recorder creates an icon in the system tray area for quick access and automatically starts recording all text clips to the Clipboard, including URLs. It plays a sound alert whenever it receives a new entry.

The main app window has a simplistic and intuitive structure, and it stays on top of other frames by default. You can check out a list with sample clips and remove or edit them.

It's possible to create categories to organize clips into different groups, edit the text description for any entry, clear the Clipboard with one click, disable the window from staying on top of other frames, deactivate audio notifications, minimize Copy Recorder to the system tray, change the interface language, as well as set the tool to automatically run at every Windows startup until further notice.

The text clips are remembered by the utility on exit. Unfortunately, it doesn't implement options for exporting them to file or printing them.

We haven't come across any stability issues in our tests, thanks to the fact that the program didn't freeze, crash or prompt error dialogs. As we expected, it didn't hog system resources, thanks to the fact that it needed low CPU and RAM to work properly.

On the other hand, Copy Recorder doesn't come equipped with advanced options and configuration settings for power users. Otherwise, it serves its purpose, proving to be an approachable and effective Clipboard history tool. Plus, it's freeware.
