A year ago last May, word filtered out on news ofa new Microsoft app/service called OneClip. The Microsoft Garage app, since pulled, worked as a virtual clipboard, not only storing and organizing “clips,” but sharing them in the cloud. A couple of months agomore news surfaced on continued work on the app, with an Office and Windows 10 focus and a possible Redstone 2 release.

Now today, a number of reports are indicating that OneClip may be re-introduced, this time as “Cache.” The app appears to have pivoted somewhat, to include a number of preset tasks, as highlighted in this video found by Rafael Rivera among others:

The tasks,as noted by Windows Central, are:

Earlier today, prolific Microsoft watcherWalkingCat tweeted out a linkto a “Cache” download, which installs at least some of the app but requires that you are included in a private preview, so you won’t be able to see much.

Microsoft has dabbled in the idea of a clipboard for the web for years, as far back as Ray Ozzie’s idea of aWindows Live Clipboardback in 2006, so it will be interesting to see how much traction “Cache” gets, once we get our hands on it for real.
