PasteBot: A Life Saver

Ok so I copy and paste a lot. I get content in Word and need to paste into websites daily. PasteBot allows me to not only quickly copy 3 or 4 pieces of information at once but then apply filters to them before pasting.

After starting a 14 day trial I used the app for about 6 hours before putting down the £9.99 to buy it. That is how good the application is.

So I clearly fell in love but why?

One word, filters. As a web developer i often gets bullet lists in Word that need to be added to a website. This normally requires a fair about of time copying HTML tags around each item however with PasteBot filters this is 2 clicks and it is automatically pasted into place.

Yep more. Taking screenshots with crtl+Shit+4 on a mac copies the image to the clipboard rather than saving it to your desktop. PasteBot saves each of these images allowing me quickly take a series of screen grabs and paste them into my document as I need them.

PasteBot probably saves me a good 30 minutes if not more each day — well worth the £9.99 asking price.
