You should be able to go back through your history of pasted text so that if you accidentally overwrite some copied text you can still access it. That's exactly what Jumpcut does in the easiest and most accessible way possible. Jumpcut remembers every little bit of text you copy or cut during a day giving you easy access to your clipboard's history via your Menu bar. Whatever you copy, Jumpcut compiles line by line all of the text you've cut or copies during the day. If you need to paste the text, just select it and it pastes instantly.

The app is represented by an easy-to-spot scissors icon in your Menu bar or you can configure a hotkey instead which is supposed to bring-up a bezel displaying a list of the most recent items you worked with. However, I couldn't work out how to record a hotkey. You're supposed to just click the hotkey symbol and record but recording wouldn't work for me.

However, this takes little away from what is a simple and well designed utility that could prove essential for those who do a lot of cutting, copying and pasting all day.

CopyPaste Pro offers much more tools than your basic clipboard tool. To copy text you just have to press CMD+C and type a number for that selection. CMD+V will paste the selction. CopyPaste Pro is accessible from a drop down in the menu bar. You not only have access to clip history, but also to many advanced clip tools. CopyPaste Pro lets you remove quote levels, wrap words and add different date styles among others. Thanks to hovering mini icon, the application is also always accessible.

The clip browser view looks cool, but I didn't find it very intuitive. If you have a lot of elements copied it was a little difficult to browse through them. It also features to sides to the panel, but there is no explaining which element goes on which.

Despite mixed feeling over the clip browser view, I find CopyPaste Pro to be a very powerful clipboard utility with many tools.

That's why I've been really impressed by Dropzone, which allows you to set up handy shortcuts for all your main transfer needs. All you need to do is set up a shortcut folder, to which you can drag and drop folders. Say, for example, I want my downloads in OS X to be transferred to my downloads folder in Windows. I select the target and the destination and then every time I make the transfer, I just drag the file to the Dropzone icon, and select the shortcut.

Dropzone works not only for hard drive transfers but also FTP and Flickr account transfers. I'd like to see this extended to YouTube and Picasa, but at least it's a start. There are also a few other handy features such as an auto installer - just drag and drop DMG files into Dropzone and it will do the unpacking, installing and ejecting of the image for you. Finally, there's a little snippet saver which allows you to drag and drop text onto the Dropzone clipboard - complete with the URL it came from - for reading later.

The sky is really the limit with Dropzone - if you've got some API knoweldge, you can even extend it further with your own features.

I'm thoroughly impressed with the improvements in productivity and organization Dropzone offers. This should be a default feature in OS X.

During our tests, the application repeatedly crashed so we could not evaluate it properly, however we can give you a bit of information on its features. iClipboard offers a sleek interface, truly built for Leopard and enjoyable to the eye. You can preview items and even add notes to them.

Usability seems to be one of the main worries of the developer, and you can effectively copy, paste, turn the clipboard on/off or clear the history in one click. We liked the idea of setting limits in quantity and date to the clipboard as this ensures you have a manageable amount of clips to work with. To organize your elements, iClipboard structures them in projects, which you create. You'll also be able to set the sounds the application makes when cutting and pasting elements.

It's a shame that iClipboard didn't work properly as the application really looks promising. We hope the issues will be fixed soon.

A promising copy and paste application for Leopard, iClipboard still remains very unstable.

It's a tried an tested method used by novelists, biographers, researchers, and just about anyone in the writing field. SuperNotecard's virtual cards are supposed to help you focus on the basic parts of the composition while keeping the structure flexible so that it can change in accordance with your plot.

SuperNotecard uses a color-coding system depending on whether you're referring to plots, categories, characters or references. You can move them around with ease, zoom in and out and is generally a great way of seeing your thoughts and ideas before you get down to the nuts and bolts of writing. It would have been nice to have seen multimedia links embedded into the cards for cross referencing although sometimes, when trying to be creative, it's often a good idea to avoid the net completely so this may not be such a bad thing.

Overall, SuperNotecard is a super tool for any writer that wants to map out their ideas and experiment with plots before writing.

iPaste lets you copy any sort of file, like text, images, media or PDF. Accessing hotkey targets from the drop down menu brings all your clippings to the front of your screen.

We felt best to keep the application in the Dock to copy and view new items. Another advantage is the little sliding bar, which lets you zoom in onto clipped items.

The main feature which truly makes iPaste a time saving application are the hotkeys. Using the CTRL + Option + Number combination, iPaste lets you copy and paste quickly.

Another handy little function is being able to go back in time and check what items you've clipped in iPaste.
