ScreenshotWhen it comes to office software, these days it seems like the only choice one has is to either buy Microsoft Office or Star Office, or download OpenOffice. While MS Office and Star/Open Office have many features that distinguish them from each other, they also have one thing in common: bloat.

Look out for the underdog. At a svelte sixteen megabytes, Gobe Productive can do most anything that the large two can do, but with less of the loading time and lag. As opposed to the common office “suite”, Gobe is a single, well integrated application that’s capable of dealing with documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and drawings. Of course, what good is all that without file compatibility? Worry not, it talks fluent Microsoft.

Gobe Productive is available for download as a 30 day trial for Windows, and a new version with support for Linux and Mac OS X is in the works.

Let’s begin with a simple test. Who here likes:

  • Huge lists of applications with similar functionality, so that you can test each application and find the one that works best for you?
  • The capability to replicate multiple items to the clipboard for pasting across multiple windows and applications with a swift keystroke or mouse click?
  • Macs?

If you nodded your head, raised an eyebrow in affirmation, or hugged a complete stranger in response to these questions, then read on friend, because Download Squad’s got you covered.

Too often, when you’re searching for an application with a specific functionality, you get slowed down by the mass of search results and unhelpful links. You feel like Indiana Jones trekking through the jungle to find that one hidden trinket of inestimable value. Thankfully, there exists helpful sites like Download Squad; and we are more than willing to do the trekking for you.

So, without further ado, here’s our near-exhaustive list of clipboard applications for the Mac (we say near-exhaustive because we know that you, constant reader, have an app or two up your sleeve). The applications are listed on the basis of price: the first entries are free, and the most expensive are at the bottom (plus, if you make it to the end of the post, you’ll find a few hidden gems).
