Review of iClip 4

I have used it for quite some time now (the trial only, I have no money). Here's a review.

The first thing you see when you use it is that it's pretty. Although it's not a very Mac-like app, it's pretty with those transparency and animation effects. I think it's the best looking clipboard manager you can find. And it doesn't only record the clipboard. It lets you store bits of information in "clip sets". It's convenient to store things there and get it later quickly. But I think it's better to use journal apps like Journler to organise stuff. So I only use iClip to store URLs of articles I want to read later.

It's definitely an app worth checking out. Download it from Inventive.

Update: I thought of a new use of iClip this morning. GTDers can use it as the inbox. Just drag whatever things to iClip to collect them. Then when processing, you can go through the clip set and delete the things one by one. When you delete things, there's a nice effect that you would enjoy.
