Clever Clipboard is a clipboard manager for Google Chrome that remembers the last 50 things you copied, text or images, so you can find and reuse them without copying everything again. It's a browser extension, so it lives right inside Chrome rather than being a separate app. Once installed, it runs in the background and automatically captures anything you copy to your system clipboard, even when you aren't actively thinking about it. When you need to paste something from earlier, you can open it up, browse your history, search by text or by tags like "image," and click an item to insert it directly into whatever text field, text box, or editable area you're currently focused on. It also cleans up after itself: you can set clips to expire automatically after 5, 15, 30, or 60 minutes so your history doesn't pile up indefinitely. This is useful for anyone who works in a browser all day and constantly copies and pastes between tabs, pulling snippets from a document into an email, grabbing code from one tool and pasting it into another, or reusing the same image across different web apps. Instead of toggling back and forth between sources, you copy once and paste from your history whenever you need it. Everything is stored locally in Chrome's own storage, not sent to a server, which keeps your copied content on your machine. The extension also handles edge cases like Chrome's internal system pages without crashing, which is the kind of detail that matters if you're browsing those pages and copying things like URLs or settings info. To install it, you download the code, turn on Developer Mode in Chrome's extensions page, and load the folder directly. There's no app store listing involved, it's a hands-on, load-it-yourself setup.
