QuickClip - Notepad Clipboard
A Chrome extension that combines a notepad and clipboard manager so you can save, organize, and access text snippets without leaving your browser.
Get the Extension
QuickClip Pro (Free)
Pro adds support for images and links alongside text snippets, custom tags for organization, and a counter for daily task tracking.
What's New in v3.0
- More room to work with, the editing layout has been redesigned to feel less cramped.
- Right-click any selected text and choose "Save to QuickClip", or use
Ctrl + Shift + Sto save without opening the popup. - Replaced
innerHTMLwithtextContentthroughout to close an XSS vulnerability. - Character Counter: Added a live character counter below the text input box to help you track snippet length.
Features
Hyperlinks: URLs are detected automatically and highlighted. Click to open in a new tab, double-click to edit the text.
Text input: Write snippets directly or paste from clipboard. Use Shift+Enter for new lines. A live character counter is displayed below the input box.
Quick save: Select any text on a page and save it via the right-click context menu ("Save to QuickClip") or the Ctrl + Shift + S shortcut, without needing to open the popup.
Search: Filters your saved items as you type.
Themes: Light and dark mode, toggled from the toolbar.
Local storage: Everything stays on your machine, nothing is sent anywhere.
Undo deletes: Accidentally deleted something? There's a recover option (can be hidden in settings if you don't need it).
Editing: Double-click any saved item to edit it in place. Press Enter to save (configurable).
Settings: You can toggle individual buttons on/off (Copy, Delete, Expand, Save, Paste & Save, Recover), enable or disable the search bar, adjust font size, and configure how Enter and double-click behave.
