Tapbots is back with its third iPhone offering, and for those of you who are familiar with the company's beautifully designed applications, you will not be disappointed. On the surface, Pastebot is a clipboard manager for your iPhone or iPod touch that stores clippings in a beautiful, intuitive UI, but it's more powerful than that. The folks at Tapbots have thought of everything, and Pastebot is the result.
Pastebot is more powerful than the name suggests. While the application's intended purpose is to give you access to a clipboard history, you'll quickly find unintended uses that make it much more valuable.
There aren't many flaws in Pastebot, and most shortcomings are a result of Apple's decisions regarding its OS and what programming classes it makes available. Ideally, this application would run constantly in the background, sending each copied item into the app, but Apple doesn't allow this. If you want that functionality, you are going to have to jailbreak your phone. For now, you have to open Pastebot after copying an item—not ideal, but there's not much Tapbots could do about this. Additionally, Apple doesn't allow third-party developers to paste rich text from the clipboard. This means that if you copy a webpage in Safari, you aren't going to see the same images and text formatting in Pastebot. That functionality is reserved only for Apple's applications, as the company choses not to share the information necessary for third party developers to implement it.
Clipboard manager that helps you organize frequently used clippings into custom pasteboards and comes with search capabilities to filter the entries further Pastebot is a clipboard manager that automatically records all your clippings so you can use them again at a later time without navigating back and forth between multiple documents. Home Forums General Technology Computer Zone PC Apllications Pastebot 2.3.2 – Clipboard manager with custom clippings Welcome to Ramleague, Ramleague - the best site for pinoy chat, games chat and mobiles chat. With iCloud enabled, your main clipboard, custom pasteboards and filters sync across all of your computers running Pastebot. Your clipboard and filters will be on every mac you work on. Create custom pasteboard groups to organize important clippings you want to save and re-use. Assign keyboard shortcuts to clippings you use most often.
Having to open the application every time you copy something is less than ideal, but Pastebot's real power lies in how you organize, edit, and export your clippings. There is a 99-item limit in the application's clipboard, though you can easily stow away older clippings into user-created folders where there is no limit. While there seems to be no noticeable slowdown with a large number text items, copying and pasting large digital photos can cause the scrolling to get a bit choppy.
Items are stored by default in the Clipboard section in chronological order. An older item can be copied onto the system-wide clipboard by simply touching the item. A blue graphic mimicking a blue LED lights up to indicate which is currently on the clipboard. If a user has a large number of items to choose from, a real-time live search can be performed without changing screens. The search scans through the contents of text files and the names of image files.
One of the strengths of Pastebot is the ability to manipulate clippings once they are imported into the application. Photos can be rotated, cropped, and converted to black and white or sepia, and you can adjust their brightness and saturation. Text can be edited via the onscreen keyboard, plus you can run find and replace, and even wrap text in HTML tags very easily. The ability to manipulate text almost makes Pastebot a sort of notepad application in addition to the intended functionality. Further, you can convert text to upper or lowercase, decode or encode HTML entities, quote lines, and change to smart or straight quote styles. The ability to name your clippings can make them easily recognizable and allow photos to be searched more easily.
Once you have edited a clipping (or even if you haven't), there are a variety of ways to use it. You can copy it back to the system-wide clipboard, or you can search Google with a text clipping, send it via e-mail, move it to another folder, or save an image to the device's camera roll.

The most impressive functionality of Pastebot is its connection with the free Pastebot Sync app to your Mac. From there, you can install it into your system preferences and sync the mobile app to the desktop. Once the initial sync is done, the two will connect whenever the application is launched on your iPhone or iPod touch, as long as the two are on a local wireless network (this is indicated by a blue menu bar icon). After that, anything you copy on your Mac (whether images or text) will be placed into either the Clipboard or whichever folder you are currently navigating.
The amount of time it takes depends on the size of what you are copying. Digital photos can take a bit of time, but it is still arguably faster than plugging in your device and doing the iTunes dance. The status of a copy is indicated by animation of the menu bar icon. Clippings can also be sent to a computer via the Paste to Mac function, which puts the content (if text) inside the document you are working on. As of this writing, I can't find a way to simply copy from Pastebot onto a Mac's clipboard. Still, the functionality provides a display for a Mac's clipboard.

The question you need to ask yourself is, 'could I make use of this application?' Pastebot is a somewhat deceiving name, considering that it can also edit and archive text, help in facilitating the syncing of to the iPhone's camera roll, edit images, and handle your Mac's copy and paste functionality all in one place. There are many uses, and chances are that no two users are going to use the app exactly the same. If you don't believe me, just visit the company's 'How are you using Pastebot?' page. We think it's worth a $2.99 shot.
