Copied for PC and Mac

Software Reviews and Criticism

  Goodbye and good riddnace.

  I miss what this program used to be pre-version 2.0. It worked perfectly and worked invisibly -- available always when you needed it and never in your way otherwise. Post-v2 ... eesh. Never mind that the hotkey shortcuts I'd been using since day one no longer were supported for no discernable reason. Suddenly, Copied went from nearly invisible to completely invisible every time it decided to quit without informing me. No crash message, no "Copied has unexpectedly quit" dialogue. Just... I'd type in my now-convoluted keyboard shortcut, and nothing would happen until I realized what already HAD happened (it quit hours ago) and restarted the program. Not the best situation for a clipboard manager you're expecting is working in the background and collecting text snippets you might be looking for (and now, not find) hours or even days later. With this latest version, it won't even boot up at all. No reason given, no message. Just ... starts up, flashes the icon in the dock for a second, then disappears. Happens on both the laptop and the desktop. Not sure if the absurdly problematic High Sierra is to blame at all, but it really doesn't matter at this point. I've moved on to Paste, which boots up reliably, lets me use my old keyboard shortcuts, and just works (TM) like Copied once did.

  Best, full featured, copy, paste, save...

  …organize, repaste utility I’ve ever used. Many IOS apps I use are not necessary to have across all three of my devices: iPad Pro, iPhone7 and Pc, however, some are and make my life a whole lot easier, and this is one of them. As a student and entrepreneur with a busy schedule and multiple todo lists, calendars, writing assignments, notes, etc, I am copying and pasting information all day, all night and it's nice to have a way to categorize and keep all of these pieces of important information so I can make a time to go through my lists and assign what I have copied into all of the appropriate areas. Also, I use digital textbooks at all times when possible , plus need to read many research PDF's all of which allow for note taking, which allows me to go back, copy and paste my notes into a folder for study guides or for writing papers. I know that there is now a universal copy and paste feature across all new Microsoft devices, but this is an easy, fully functional, quick, convenient and inexpensive app that should come as the standard for copying and pasting.

  Great app, but not completely intuitive

  I’ve used Copied for a long time, but after I installed it to a new PC with PC High Sierra, I noticed a couple of very minor issues. First, the default installation had the Copied window detached on my desktop and there was no apparent way to close it. Also, by default every time I click “Copy” I had to listen to Copied’s sound. It took me awhile to find where to turn this off since it’s call “Tone” in the Preferences and not “Sound”, which to me is not intuitive. Also, I finally found how to display the control for closing the UI window. It was a sub-line in Preferences under “Detach Window”. Again, could be a lot more intuitive. The good part is that Copied is one of the best clipboard managers available if you’re only comparing those which work on both the Windows and iOS devices, and there are only a few. I think the UI could be prettier, but that’s only my opinion and certainly doesn’t stop Copied from doing its job. Some of the nicest looking clipboard managers cost more and do less.

  Its not bad its just outlook notes are easier for me.

  It might just be what i’m cutting and pasting. A lot of my cut and pastes are a few paragraphs. I found the few colums (even after I expanded it) to be insufficent to read the cut and paste. I’m going back to cutting and pasting from outlook notes. Also I don’t like having to double click the note to expand through it, takes 1/4 a second and when i’m cranking though notes it slows me down. I know the last comment is picky. The iCloud sync is pretty slick. I think if you have small notes or something it could be useful. 7.99 isint too expensive to care either way.
