A three-second annoyance
If I had a penny for every time I copied some text without really knowing where to put it, I’d be rich by now.
It’s the silliest annoyance in the world. You’ve got something on the clipboard — a couple of lines, an address, a snippet of code, a stray thought — and to save it you have to open an editor, or keep some app parked open, or install yet another utility that does a thousand things when you only needed one. All that ceremony for a three-second gesture.
The problem was nothing. Then my professional deformation kicked in: I’m a developer who thinks he’s a UX designer too, and instead of just putting up with the annoyance like everyone else I asked myself — if I had to tackle it, how would I solve it?
That’s how Vakepress was born. Read the Neapolitan way it means «I’m in a hurry»: exactly the state of mind it came out of.
Right-click, right where I am
I’ve got some text on the clipboard. Right-click — on the desktop, inside any Finder folder, in File Explorer — and among the options there’s «Save clipboard to .txt».
No app to open, no window to hunt down. A little dialog pops up and suggests the file name, pulling it from the first three words of the text. Because the empty field is a small tax you pay every single time, and the first three words, almost always, are already the right name.
