Erase Copy

Unlike the title of this review (intended to be a bit of irony), this app truly is minimalist. It does one job, and it does it perfectly every single time. It removes the contents of the clipboard. There are times when I have copied a password or other sensitive data, but forgot to overwrite it with something else in order to remove that sensitive item from the clipboard/memory. In the past, I have copied a single letter or a couple of letters, e.g. "zz", in order to delete/displace sensitive data from the clipboard. If I did forget to overwrite the sensitive item in the clipboard, I would often go about browsing on the Internet and doing my usual activities, completely oblivious to the fact that the password (or other sensitive item) remains memory-resident and available for malware, malicious scripts, and hidden form fields to grab, store, and send off to their evil master. Enter Copy & Paste Cleaner. Upon starting the application or at any time while it’s running, it displays the contents of the clipboard so that you know exactly what is memory resident at any given moment. With a simple push of a button, the clipboard contents are deleted. It’s as simple as that ... and the story can stop right there. If, however, you are somewhat absent-minded like me, there is a settings option to have the clipboard contents automatically deleted periodically. This is very handy for those of us that forget to overwrite memory-resident clipboard data by copying something non-sensitive (which is a total pain in the ash) to the clipboard. Copy & Paste Cleaner is efficient and effective in its form, fit, and function. It's UI/UX is pristine and intuitive. There is a nominal paid-option to remove advertising ... and best of all, this is NOT one of those ridiculous "Subscription-Based" apps. I recommend this app without hesitation or reservation! Five-stars all the way!
