Clipassist has had a bit of a makeover, it's now easier to manage those standard clips of text and organise them into folders. But it has a much more exciting new feature.
If, like me you like to run more than one mac then you very quickly feel the need to access a snippet of text on a different computer.
There are ways to achieve this, such as creating a text file and saving it to the other computer. As straightforward as that is, it's overkill if you have just an email address, so you type it on the other computer and risk a typo.
Copy and paste (cmd-C and cmd-V) are so fundamental to computing. We do it without thinking.
So why shouldn't it be simple to just copy on one mac and paste on another? In fact in the past I've attempted to do this without realising I've switched computers.
I've found a way to share your 'copy' with other Macs on the local network, ready to just 'paste' at the other keyboard. Without any messy connecting / logging in.
Simply run ClipAssist v4 or higher on all Macs, set the send/receive preferences as appropriate and you're ready to go.
10.6 and upwards are supported, in line with our policy of supporting other fans of the beautiful Snow Leopard.
This is all new. You're welcome to download v4 and try it (please let me know how you get on) under the caveat that this is still beta.
