Have you ever wished to be able to copy text from multiple web pages and then paste them all into the document you are working on? Without always having to switch between applications after each copy and paste? Now you can do just that and so much more, with shadowClipboard.

shadowClipboard is a clipboard (also called pasteboard on some systems) enhancer that manages multiple clipboards in a convenient, unobtrusive way. shadowClipboard gives you access to files, pages of texts, images, pdf documents and all other data you have copied a few minutes or a week ago.

The power of shadowClipboard lies in its simplicity and straightforwardness. Rather than placing itself into the Dock - which is rather crowded on most Macs anyway - it resides in the status menu area of your Mac OS X system, next to the AirPort, Monitor and Sound settings and your Menu Bar clock. Or if your status menu is crowded as well you can opt to access shadowClipboard using fully customizable hotkey combinations.

Here are some key features of "shadowClipboard":
keep and browse images, text, files and anything else you have copied to the pasteboard in the past
preview your stored clipboards in advanced mode
easily access all past copied items through the status item or fully customizable key-combos
use the Append Copy feature to append copied items to the pasteboard's contents, rather than replacing it
filter pasteboard types to include, allowing you to skip images or text to reduce memory and disk usage
use the great sheet mode or switch to window mode if you prefer to move the window around
share your clipboards with other shadowClipboard users on your local network or between users of the same Mac
paste text as-is or as plain, unformated text
drag and drop clipboards you might need in the future to the Stored Clipboards.

Limitations:
You will only be able to use shadowClipboard for a week until you register.
