We've covered a lot of clipboard managers that extend the functionality of the Windows native clipboard manager by allowing users to save the copied items into different data type-specific categories such as text, rich text, image, file etc. Since the default Windows Clipboard holds only one item at a time, you can use third-party clipboard tools to save multiple items as well as retain the clipboard data, even after a system reboot. Today, we came across a clipboard tool called ControlC that works in a slightly different way. It saves all the clipboard entries, including Text, Images and Files, and allows you to view the history database from a web browser (localhost). The application provides a minimalistic web app that runs on a localhost, allowing you to view your clipboard data from remote locations. Moreover, the clipboard history database is secured with a password, and only the authorized users can view the copied items. More on ControlC after the jump. Read More

Previously, we have covered plethora of clipboard managers for our readers. Today, we have another clipboard application that is inspired from GNOME's Glipper, known as Wlipper.
