0.000 HBD[App Review & Guide] Smart Multi Clipboard - The Ultimate Clipboard Manager
<html> <p><p>Clipboard has been around since first ever Macintosh OS made. That legacy has been continued to Android. But, it has a limited functionality as it only allows the last copied item to paste.</p></p> <p><p>While working with multiple texts, default clipboard isn't good enough. So as I say :</p></p> <p><blockquote></p> <p><p>&quot;Where there is a need, there are developers&quot;</p></p> <p></blockquote></p> <p><p>So, thanks to the Android app developers, who implemented their ideas which extended the built in clipboard functionality.</p></p> <p><p>On Play Store there are dozens of clipboard manager apps are available. But, Smart Multi Clipboard (from here on SMC) stands out to top with it's plethora of useful features.</p></p> <p><p><img src="http://fs5.directupload.net/images/161106/orpyvkpf.jpg" alt="Uploaded with Directupload Image Sharer" /></p></p> <p><h1 id="features-overview-">Features Overview :</h1></p> <p><ul></p> <p><li>Copy Multiple Items</li></p> <p><li>Easy Accessibility</li></p> <p><li>Inbuilt OTP Reader</li></p> <p><li>Auto Synchronization And Web App</li></p> <p><li>Inbuilt Trash</li></p> <p></ul></p> <p><h2 id="copy-multiple-items-">Copy Multiple Items :</h2></p> <p><p>Whenever you copy something from any app like Browser, Message, Email, etc. It will be attached to SMC and facilitate to paste in any other application.</p></p> <p><p>There are two panels in SMC :</p></p> <p><ol></p> <p><li>Copied Clipping List (Clipboard)</li></p> <p><li>Added Clipping List (Notes)</li></p> <p></ol></p> <p><h3 id="copied-clipping-list-">Copied Clipping List :</h3></p> <p><p>Everything you copy will be shown in this panel. You can perform various actions on individual notes like edit, copy, delete, share.</p></p> <p><p>More actions can be done by clicking on three dots beneath clipboard item. Their position and visibility can be customized by clicking on &quot;Gear Icon&quot; at the bottom.</p></p> <p><p>To perform bulk actions such as merging, deleting, long click on clipboard items.</p></p> <p><p>Operations such as searching, sorting can be done from three dot menu at top right corner.</p></p> <p><h3 id="added-clipping-list-">Added Clipping List :</h3></p> <p><p>Frequently used clipboard items from panel one can be saved here and from “+” available at right bottom additional items can be added.</p></p> <p><p>It features the same actions as we've seen for panel one.</p></p> <p><p>You can create folders for easy note categorization. To do so, go to menu from top left then &quot;Create Folder&quot;.</p></p> <p><h2 id="easy-accessibility-">Easy Accessibility :</h2></p> <p><p>SMC provides three ways to access clipboard items. You can choose your preferred method in settings which can be accessed from top left.</p></p> <p><ol></p> <p><li>Through Swipe Gesture</li></p> <p><li>Through Floating Bubble</li></p> <p><li>Through Notification Panel</li></p> <p></ol></p> <p><h3 id="through-swipe-gesture-">Through Swipe Gesture :</h3></p> <p><p>When enabled you will need to swipe from particular area on screen.

You can customize the bubble if you want to.</p></p> <p><p>You can enable multiple functionality of floating bubble through settings &gt;&gt; advanced settings, but in my opinion it's better stay off.</p></p> <p><h3 id="through-notification-panel">Through Notification Panel:</h3></p> <p><p>This will show SMC notification in your Android notification area.</p></p> <p><p>You can copy clipboard item by tapping on right side of it or paste it directly by clicking on center of it.</p></p> <p><p>However, the direct paste feature only works on Android 5.0+(Lolipop).</p></p> <p><h2 id="inbuilt-otp-reader-">Inbuilt OTP Reader :</h2></p> <p><p>Whenever you receive OTP (One Time Password) SMS, you will get a floating window on your mobile screen and it will highlight the OTP code.</p></p> <p><p>You can drag that floating window around and clicking on highlighted text will copy the OTP. You can sway away this floating window by sliding away either left or right.</p></p> <p><h2 id="auto-synchronization-and-web-app-">Auto Synchronization And Web App :</h2></p> <p><p>Before going further, you have to enable synchronization first from &quot;Menu&quot;. To do so access menu from top left.
