Plain Clipboard Manager

Plain Clipboard Manager (PCM) monitors the Windows clipboard and saves any copied text to plain text files in utf-8 (unicode) format. The captured clip will include the source application and document title. For text copied from web pages a link to the source web page is included. Any copied images and screenshots are saved as PNG files (using lossless compression). The Clip storage folder is configurable: you can also save your clipboard items to a cloud drive like Dropbox or OneDrive. PCM can be either installed or run portable. When run from usb stick all configuration and clip notes are saved on the same stick. It's a native Windows application: fast, small and portable.

Another feature of Plain Clipboard Manager is the option to configure short keywords (so called key templates) that will be dynamically expanded to the full text when entered anywhere. Example:

brb = Be right back. When you enter "brb " in a text field, the keyword will be replaced with the full sentence "Be right back.": Dynamic text expanding for Windows.

Plain Clipboard Manager UI

The design goal of Plain Clipboard Manager is to make collecting and pasting of multiple clipboard items simple and non-intrusive. It is useful in every day computer tasks. PCM can help keep track of interesting information you found in documents or websites. Every text you copy to the system clipboard with CTRL+C is automatically saved as a note in the form of a simple and easy to manage text file. Its contents can be easily edited and pasted into other applications with PCM. Screenshots taken with (ALT+)Print Screen are saved as PNG files.
