5 best Clipboard managers for Chromebooks

You may have copied and pasted text on a Chromebook multiple times. But can you remember all the copied and pasted pieces of information?

The clipboard manager provides exactly that function. They allow you to log everything you have copied and reuse them anytime in the future. Therefore, you will no longer have to go back and forth between pages to copy and paste multiple pieces of information, or not lose the past copied things when copying new information.

Here are the best clipboard management apps for Chrome OS.

1. Clipboard Manager

Clipboard Manager is a no-frills Chrome OS application that helps maintain your clipboard history. By default, the application will keep the nearest 15 snippets, but you can adjust the settings to save as many entries as you like.

The tool has a useful list-based design and allows you to quickly copy an old item. You can manually scroll through the history section or search for anything specific from the available search bar. Additionally, you have the option to use light or dark themes.

Clipboard Manager will retain the data after reboot, but you can ask the application to start from the beginning every time. It is worth noting that Clipboard Manager works on the entire operating system including Android and Linux applications.

You can own Clipboard Manager for free and it does not include any in-app purchases.

2. Clipboard History Pro

Clipboard History Pro is a more comprehensive alternative to Clipboard Manager. In addition to the essential capabilities, Clipboard History Pro provides a number of additional features.

For starters, this Chrome extension has a Merge function , which allows you to merge several segments into one. For example, this is useful when you want to copy different lines from an article.

In addition, Clipboard History Pro has a dashboard where you can browse history entries and take a variety of quick actions. You can even favorite and categorize specific items using tags. In addition, Clipboard History Pro comes with the ability to export or import data. Also, you can enable cloud sync.

3. Multi Copy Paste

Multi Copy Paste is not a full clipboard manager like the other options on this list. Instead, it is especially for those looking for a more efficient way to copy and paste multiple pieces of data from a website.

This extension allows you to link snippets of information to the numerical row of the keyboard and access them instantly. So, suppose you want to link a piece of text to number 3. You can copy it by pressing Ctrl + 3 and paste it with Ctrl + Alt + 3 .

You can also perform the same set of actions from the context menu when right-clicking. As mentioned earlier, Multi Copy Paste records each item being copied. It will only store the items you requested manually.

Alternatively, you can view your data and delete entries, by clicking on the icon, located on the Chrome extension tray in the top right corner.

Please note that because this is a Chrome extension, it does not support content from Android and Linux applications.

Additionally, you can edit each paragraph and append text to the entry. On the Clipper app, you also have the option to pin the records at the top.

Clipper pins a widget permanently on the Chromebook notification panel that you can launch the app at a glance. There are several customizations available as well as an OLED-friendly dark theme.

The application itself has a few outstanding features. It can process text in natural language and take appropriate contextual actions. So for example, if it's an address, you'll have the option to open it directly on Google Maps.
