snipp

The classic Windows clipboard isn’t likely to be overhauled any time soon, as the basic functionality it offers is invaluable while remaining one of the most straightforward and intuitive tools users have at their disposal.

With an application like snipp, however, you can enhance this Windows feature and save multiple text snippets for later use. While mainly intended to be used by programmers, anyone who frequently needs to save text fragments can take advantage of this app.

Once the app is launched, it will begin recording any text fragments that are copied to the clipboard and store them in a simple list. Here, they are ordered by date, and you can copy any of them back to the clipboard by double-clicking the entry.

The maximum number of snippets that are stored can be defined by the user, and you can delete individual items or clear the entire list whenever you wish. Important snippets can be pinned to the top of the list.

snipp comes equipped with a basic search function, which should help you find snippets more easily. It filters items and highlights the relevant text for easier identification.

From copying text to pinning items and bringing the window to the foreground, pretty much any action can be performed with the help of keyboard shortcuts, which are also customizable.

The default white background may not be suitable for working late at night, but a darker theme is also available, and you can switch between these at any time.

On a different note, it would have been great if it were possible to minimize the application to the system tray when not in use, as it can clutter the taskbar unnecessarily.

On the whole, snipp is a simple yet incredibly useful application that enables you to store as many text clippings as you need, and then copy them to the clipboard whenever required. A few improvements could be made, but this app is certainly worth a look.
