MyClip

Using a computer in office environment probably requires you to process a lot of text. This also implies the task of copying words, paragraphs and other bits of text from one document to another. However, this needs to be done one item at a time with basic Windows features, but applications like MyClip are here to give it an upgrade.

The main window pops up as a small list that stores entries as you copy them, also displaying the time they were added. Standard hotkeys still apply, but the application supports a few more functions to which you can create quick launch commands.

You don't have to keep the main window up, because the application stays minimized in the system tray and monitors your actions. However, you still need to bring it up whenever you want to paste any other item besides the first. What's more, there's no possibility to add hotkeys to any entry, except for a single bookmark.

It gets a little time consuming to manage large lists, because you need to find the entry of interest, bring it to the top, after which it can be inserted in any other field. Flexibility is affected even more, because you can set hotkeys for time and date, but very narrow approach on the list of interest.

Several operations can be performed on the items. Besides the possibility to set bookmarks, letter casing can be toggled, have a title attached to each, or insert time and date settings. There's an integrated search tool in case your list gets out of control.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that MyClip is a little application worth to keep around when you quickly need to write text down. It does not come with much advantage over the default Windows clipboard, with it's biggest disappointment being the poor support for hotkeys and the lack of a better bookmarks manager.
