A new clipboard manager for Windows 11 is here, and it's better than Microsoft's in a few key ways. 
"Edge Drop" is still in its early stages of development, but the current preview build is very promising. 
Edge Drop is a clipboard manager that can also be used for some light file management. 
It stays tucked away on the left side of your screen until you swipe your mouse over it or use a keyboard shortcut (Alt + C). 
The app supports text, images, and several file types. 
Any item you copy on Windows 11 is added to Edge Drop by default. 
You can also drag items into Edge Drop. 
Drag and drop functionality makes it easy to grab a few files, place them in Edge Drop, and then paste them somewhere else. 
Edge Drop supports stacking content together, which I find useful for organizing projects. 
I'd love to see stacks work with different content types, such as text and images. 
The developer of Edge Drop, AdiArtist, shared the app on Reddit . 
You can download Edge Drop through the app's website and read more about it on GitHub . 
As a quick note, I wouldn't get used to the name of the app. 
Microsoft already has a feature named "Edge Drop." 
Even though that browser feature is being retired , I suspect Microsoft will want to protect the name. 
Windows 11 Clipboard vs Edge Drop 
Windows 11's Clipboard can be summoned with a shortcut and supports pinning items. 
(Image credit: Mauro Huculak) Windows 11 already has a robust, built-in clipboard history that you can summon with Win + V. 
It supports pinning items, syncing across devices, and has been an integral part of my workflow for years. 
Even with Edge Drop installed, I'm not abandoning it. 
Where Windows 11's clipboard is heavily keyboard-driven, Edge Drop is more built for the mouse. 
If you're working on a creative project, dragging and dropping items into organized stacks feels completely natural. 
It reminds me of when I reviewed the HyperSpace TrackPad Pro (which, sadly, was canceled ). 
Using that trackpad shifted my workflow; editing video with it felt entirely different than navigating a webpage. 
It didn't replace my mouse, but it became a perfect companion tool. 
I feel the same way about Edge Drop. 
It’s a convenient, mouse-oriented clipboard manager that’s always just a gesture away, and it has earned a permanent spot right alongside Windows 11's default clipboard.
