Best Mac Utility Ever Is Free. It Saved My Life.
Has this ever happened to you? Cut. Paste. Cut. Paste. Delete. Cut and paste is digital nectar from the Digital Gods.
It’s the delete part of the scenario that dooms our day, because that’s the event from the dark recesses of hell. Mac360’s Value Vixen™ has a cure.
I know you’ve done this many times, Mac or Windows user. You copy something onto the Mac’s clipboard, then paste somewhere else. Sometimes you cut instead of copy. Sometimes you hit delete on the original.... (excerpted).

Great article, Alexis, and you’re right - PHTPasteboard looks like the best Mac utility ever. The odd thing is, although I’ve been a Mac user for around 20 years and used OS X since 10.0, tonight was the first time I had heard about PHTP. P on MacNN Forums gave me the recommendation.
I think I have likely lost hours worth of work losing and usually redoing text lost in the primitive built-in clipboard. I have also lost a lot of time having to go back and forth to copy code snippets for the web that get overwritten when I copy something else I need. That’s a lot of frustration and lost productivity. I had tried other clipboard utilities and all fell short. I can’t believe that in my quest to find a good utility to fix this problem, I somehow overlooked PHTPasteboard. It’s rather perplexing, in fact, that it took me so long to find it.
If PHTPasteboard is as reliable as people say it is, it will be indispensable. I can’t imagine why Apple hasn’t purchased the software to make it a standard part of Mac OS X.
