GoodSync Binyamin Goldman launched Quip, a new clipboard management application tailor-made for the Apple ecosystem, on Monday. Goldman is well known for his past work on Unite, which was an app centered around specialized web app management, marketed towards Mac users. Quip is a new secret weapon to supercharge your productivity! It comes with a whole set of tools, all specifically catered to improving the ways you collect and organize content.
With an easy-to-use trigger shortcut, Quip makes it easy to capture content from lectures, presentations, videos, and PDFs. That’s a particularly useful function for sales reps looking to find relevant information on the fly in meetings or researchers on the go. The app has a special kind of “supershortcut” feature that makes text expansion possible. With the ability to create abbreviations that automatically expand into longer phrases, users can save time in writing, chatting, and creating notes.
Another impressive feature from Quip though, and my personal favorite, is their search functionality which allows you to quickly search all of your clipboard history. Users have control to set how long items should be stored in the app. They have flexibility on the maximum number of items kept and the ability to place size limits on individual items. These deep customization options build a highly configurable canvas for the end users to customize Quip to their use case and needs.
Quip uses some of the older Apple Natural Language Processing (NLP) technology under the hood to make those intelligent features possible which really simplifies your experience. According to Binyamin Goldman, “later this year, it will start using Apple’s offline AI models to investigate even further functionality. We’re looking forward to this transition allowing us to continue improving the app’s performance and capabilities.”
Goldman, a long-time tech entrepreneur who’s now based in India, boasts an entrepreneurial pedigree that’s pretty hard to beat. He has written before for other popular publications, like the Huffington Post and The Next Web. His experience in the tech space shows through in the design and features of Quip making it a very well thought out product.
Quip’s user-friendly interface and robust functionality position it as a valuable tool for those deeply integrated into the Apple ecosystem. The app features daily and seasonal challenges that keep users engaged and motivated. Its “supershortcut” for text expansion and customizable cloud/online storage features further enhance its strong clipboard management capabilities.
