I’m an intense typist, and I have worked with tools like clipboard managers and other typing tools since the Apple IIe. To this day, the quest for a quality clipboard manager continues. PTHPasteboard is not the answer. But after two weeks of regular use, it seems fast and stable to me. Certainly it blows the doors off iClip in the speed department. It also has some impressive power-user features. It’s absolutely amazing to have my pasteboards synced across two machines, for instance.
But the GUI is a rough around the edges, which drives me nutters. It isn’t a deal-breaker, but I’m a Mac-user, and I want visual polish. There are practical implications to: ugly UI elements are also often harder to understand, and there are certain parts of the UI that are as cryptic as a CLI. The developer needs to hire someone who understands interfaces!
I sent the developer an easy question two weeks ago and never got an answer. Never a great sign.

Join the "no reply" club. I've sent the developer the same question four times in four weeks...nothing. Unfortunately, I recently registered it, but I'll still be changing to something else...as soon as I can find it. Like you said...none of them are perfect and each have their good and bad points. If some developer could take the good things from both this and CopyPaste Pro and use the great GUI of iClips, it would be a winner.Reply to This
