ClipTrap Description

ClipTrap is a tiny and portable Windows application with a simple goal: it keeps track of all text copied to the Clipboard. This little gem may save precious time when searching for a previous clips, instead of having to retrace steps one at a time. The advantage of portable utilities is that they do not need installation, so they can be directly run on the computer from a local or remote location, whether it is another network or a removable storage unit. Additionally, it does not create new entries in the Windows registry or Start menu, leaving no traces behind after its removal. The simple UI is made from a normal window with a plain, yet comfortable structure. ClipTrap immediately starts monitoring the Clipboard at initialization, pasting each recorded clip in this frame which resembles Notepad. From this point on, you can safely carry on with your work normally, knowing that you don't have to rely on your memory to reuse clips. It is possible to clear the Clipboard or window text, copy the window text, save it to a TXT file for safekeeping, as well as append it to an existing one. A standard search function is provided, along with scrolling to the top or bottom, and the option to disable Clipboard monitoring. Moreover, the frame can be set to stay on top of other windows. It can minimize to the taskbar to become non-intrusive. However, it cannot be sent to the system tray area. ClipTrap does not sport resourceful features but it certainly serves its purpose. Plus, CPU and RAM consumption is low. We have not come across any difficulties in our tests, as the app did not freeze, crash or pop up errors. All in all, ClipTrap is a tool worth keeping around whenever you need a safety net for all text copied to the Clipboard. Reviewed by Elena Opris, last updated on December 22nd, 2014
