Clipy is an innovative AI agent-native screen recorder designed to bridge the communication gap between humans and AI agents. It allows users to record their screen, webcam, and audio with zero friction, generating instant shareable links. What sets Clipy apart is its unique ability to transform every recording into an "agent-readable" markdown document, complete with a summary, timestamped key moments, extracted frames, click targets, cursor paths, and a full transcript. This means AI agents like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex can not only "watch" your recordings but also "read" and act upon them directly.
Key features include:
- AI Agent-Native Recording: Every share link has a public markdown twin (.arec) that AI agents can parse for structured context, enabling them to understand and act on the recording's content. Agents can also record their own work with a single command.
- Zero Friction Recording: Record your entire screen, a specific window, or a browser tab directly from the web, with optional webcam and microphone audio. No app installation is required for browser-based recording.
- Instant Shareable Links: A link is ready the moment you stop recording, allowing for quick sharing without waiting for uploads. Viewers do not need to sign up or install any software to watch.
- Unlimited & High Quality: Enjoy unlimited recording length and capture videos in HD up to 4K resolution, without watermarks or time caps, even on the free plan.
- Loom Migration: Easily import your existing Loom video library, converting them into agent-readable formats and eliminating Loom's limitations like paid downloads and sign-up requirements for viewers.
- Comprehensive Free Tools: Beyond screen recording, Clipy offers a suite of free video tools for converting (e.g., WebM to MP4, MP4 to GIF), compressing, trimming, resizing, and extracting audio from videos. It also includes webcam and microphone testing tools.
- Cross-Platform Availability: Available as a web-based recorder, Chrome extension, and a native Mac application, with support for Windows screen recording.
Clipy is built for a wide range of users, including:
- Developers: Record bugs once; agents read the click, frame, and console error to open a pull request.
- QA Testers: Run manual tests; agents can write Playwright suites from your recorded clicks.
- Product Managers: Explain product features by pointing at things; agents file tickets with relevant frames attached.
- Marketing Professionals: Transform a single demo recording into changelogs, help documentation, and launch threads.
- Support Teams: Demonstrate fixes on screen; agents publish step-by-step guides.
Clipy aims to streamline workflows by allowing humans to show and agents to understand and act, reducing the need for extensive documentation and re-explanation. It offers a powerful, free alternative to traditional screen recorders, with a strong emphasis on AI integration.
