Multiple Clipboards Do you Copy & Paste?



Wouldn't it be nice if you had more than just a single clipboard to hold your text and picture clippings?

From there, just select a clipboard item and it places its contents on the Mac's Clipboards so you can easily Paste it. Or configure the clipboard item so that selecting it instantly pastes its contents for you. It's all very simple, and very powerful. Check out our Multiple Clipboards page to learn more.

Meta-Folders Normally, a single "slot" in the App Switcher represents a single "thing" -- a File, a Folder, an Application, a Web Site, a Clipping, an Event and so on...



A Meta-Folder, however, lets you place any number of items into a single "slot", thereby dramatically increasing the number of items you have immediate access to in the App Switcher.

Clutter Free Folders



SuperTab not only makes it easier to access your folders, it can now keep them clutter free -- and you more organized.
