Pastebot 1.4 for iPhone: now runs for 10 minutes in the background!

by on October 23rd, 2010 at 10:52 am

Pastebot may be blind, but that doesn’t mean it can’t learn new tricks. Thanks to iOS 4, the devs at Tapbot have been able to turn Pastebot ($3.99) into an app with limited multitasking capability — enough ability to run in the background for 10 minutes, anyway. I was actually …

Pastebot to use iPhone’s background music API to run, well, in the background

by on August 3rd, 2010 at 3:26 pm

I won’t speculate on this upcoming change to the Pastebot ($3.99) because, quite frankly, it’s just a little bit mind bending. Here’s the gist of it, though: if all goes well with Tapbots’ re-submission, Pastebot will be able to truly multitask in the way that you’d expect, without the use …

[JPEG on left, PNG on right] This is really a tip for users who take a lot of iPhone screenshots for web sites (hi, friends!). I use Pastebot for almost all of my image transferring, and I’ve noticed that it can export images to my Mac in two formats: .jpg …

I’ll be posting again very soon, but I’ll just hand you this screenshot for now. Tapbots recently announced (as of 30 minutes ago) the title of their fourth iPhone application on Twitter with a shortened link to their company blog. A minute or two after that their website ended up …

Pastebot updated to 1.1: translation filter, grouping options, re-arranged UI [iPhone App ...

by on February 23rd, 2010 at 7:49 pm

Pastebot is my favourite clipboard manager on the iPhone, and it also syncs quite handily with my Mac via the free Pastebot Sync preference pane. As of version 1.1, you can now group your Pastebot clippings, essentially creating stacks of clippings. There is now also an interesting option to un-group …

January has been a frenzy of app updates, and they’re coming out noticeably quicker, to boot. Yesterday Tapbots released an update to Convertbot that added 60 new units and currencies, a faster unit selection method, and some interesting changes to the settings. The two things you’ll notice almost immediately if …

Post-CES coverage is coming out now, and Gear Diary and Cult of Mac have some good stories to share. Dan Cohen of Gear Diary is a full-on Evernote evangelist, and he got a chance to speak with Phil Libon, CEO of Evernote last week. His interview talks about how the …

Pastebot for iPhone updated to 1.0.5: Now it really saves photos to your camera roll. Real...

by on December 29th, 2009 at 2:19 pm

Pastebot, the little iPhone copy & paste bot that can, has a fantastic track record so far. Developer Tapbots released the app earlier this month and the UI blew me away, but I was just ever so slightly disappointed by the lack of easy photo syncing. Then, just a few …

Tapbots releases Pastebot Sync beta: iPhone can paste pics right into Finder on Mac

Pastebot just got a lot more useful for me, and I didn’t even have to wait for an App Store update. There’s a new Pastebot Sync beta in town and it has improved the copy and pasting behaviour of Pastebot to be a lot more compatible with Finder on the …

Great, not *another* ridiculously sexy iPhone app from Tapbots..

by on December 15th, 2009 at 12:21 pm

First it was Weightbot (which I’ve never used), then Converbot (which I used extensively), and now there’s Pastebot. It’s a copy and paste manager for your iPhone with a premise that’s comparable to Evernote. Pick up little things on your iPhone that you like and throw them into Pastebot and …
