Clipboard storage and synchronization has always been a pain point for people with multiple devices. For Apple users, there are many options such as Paste, Alfred, Pin, etc .; for Windows users, there is Ditto; for all platform users, there is Quick Post. But these software either cannot synchronize with other clients or they need to pay.
Today, I will introduce a free full-platform clipboard synchronization software “Clipto Pro”, which can also be used as a simple note-taking software.
Cross-platform clipboard synchronization
Open the software and you can see that this is like a note-taking software. The left side is the tab bar, the middle is the copied content, and the right side can edit the notes.
First, open the settings and turn on all these functions for multi-terminal synchronization.
Next, any content you copy will be kept as a note in the software, but only for text type (attachments will be added in the future).
At present, as long as you log in to the same account, copying can be synchronized on multiple terminals, or you can choose to not synchronize on one end. You only need to modify the synchronization and universal clipboard functions in the settings.
Category Clipboard
I believe that there will always be common text in the copied information, such as courier messages, common e-mail phrases, speech, and so on. Then, we can also add tags for each copy, and all the added tags will be displayed on the left.
The adding method is very simple. Click the note to enter the editing mode, and write the tag name directly at the bottom of the right. In addition, you can also click the asterisk to bookmark the note.
If you want to find any notes, there are three ways:
- Click the tab on the left to view by tab.
- Click the triangle next to all to search directly or view by tags.
- You can also click the three horizontal bars to sort and view them in different ways, including multiple dimensions such as most recently used, creation date, number of uses, title, text, and label.
The most amazing thing is that you can also expose all the content of a tag. This way, when you need to share content, you can send the link to others.
Simple version of cloud note
After the introduction, you can easily find out that if we turn off the automatic detection clipboard, this is a simple version of “Bear”. That’s why it calls each copy “note”.
After entering edit mode, you can add a title to the copied content and supplement any text content you want to write with Markdown.
After editing, click the three dots in the upper right corner.Display in multiple formats, including plain text, highlighted links, display as QR code, Markdown text, H5.
In addition, the Android version can also modify the font style, share it to SMS and Twitter, search the Internet, and export it to a file, which is just the Android version of “Drafts”.
Web, macOS, Android, Windows, Linux 5 versions are currently available. iOS is under development and it is expected to be available in February next year. However, due to the existence of the web terminal, it can also be used directly in Safari, but it may not work well. In addition, features such as syncing with other applications and modifying font styles are expected to be available by the end of this year.
It is worth noting that although the software name is “Pro”, it is completely free. Below is a comparison of the simple features of Clipto Pro and the other two major clipboard softwares.
In addition, I learned from the developers that they are thinking about paid plans, but haven’t decided yet, but if they can contribute a little bit to the app now, they will be able to get the paid version for free in the future! And the features of the future paid version will include adding attachments, OCR, offline translation, and editing. So how do you become a contributor? Help translate, invite registrations, join their Reddit community, or follow the Facebook homepage and rate on Google Play. For details, please see this page: https://clipto.pro/#/pricing
Finally, although this free software is very good, there are actually some scenes that are not covered. For example, you can enrich the sharing scene, add the function of exporting pictures, or share the link of each note, so that you can better use it as a simple note software. What other functional expectations do you have for it, or better usage scenarios, you can also share together.
