gbQuickNotes

gbQuickNotes allows a user to selectively save and retrieve text that has been copied to the clipboard. Unlike clipboard monitors, which archive all content sent to the clipboard, gbQuickNotes allows the user to be selective as to which information it captures.

After copying text content to the clipboard in the usual way (such as Ctrl-C), the user simply double clicks the gbQuickNotes capture icon to add the current clipboard content to the gbQuickNotes database. The action takes place in the background and no application window is displayed.

At any time, the gbQuickNotes application may be opened to view, copy, edit, or delete items from the database.

Download (v1.0, 136KB)
