Clipy

What Clipy Does

Clipy is a screen recorder purpose-built for modern AI-powered development workflows. Instead of typing out bug reports or design change requests, you simply record your screen while narrating the issue. Clipy processes that recording into a structured format that coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex can read and act on — complete with summary, transcript, key moments, pointer positions, and frame captures.

Who It's For

Clipy serves developers, QA engineers, product managers, and support teams who work with AI coding assistants. If you're spending time writing detailed bug reports, explaining UI changes in text, or trying to communicate visual feedback to an agent, Clipy streamlines that entire workflow into a single recording.

Key Features & Capabilities

• Agent-Readable Format: Every recording is automatically processed into summary, timestamped transcript, key-moment frames, and pointer/click context that coding agents can parse
• Flare Pointer Highlight: Hold Control (Mac app or Chrome extension) to create a click-through highlight trail that marks exactly what you're pointing at, turning gestures into structured key moments
• Multi-Platform Recording: Capture browser tabs, windows, or full screen on Mac, Windows, Chrome extension, web, iPhone, and Android
• One Link for Everyone: Share a single URL — teammates watch the video, agents retrieve the structured context, no viewer signup required
• Loom Migration Support: Download existing Loom videos and bring them into your coding workflow with visual context your agent can use
• Built-in Video Tools: Convert, compress, reverse, and process videos directly in the browser with no signup

Typical Workflows

1. Bug Reproduction: Record the steps that trigger the issue, narrate what you expected to happen, then paste the Clipy link into your coding agent session
2. Design Changes: Point out spacing, layout, or behavior adjustments while recording, keeping your explanation visually anchored to the relevant screen
3. Client Feedback: Capture the client's words and visible examples together, then ask your agent for a change list before code edits begin

Integrations & Context Access

Clipy works with Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex through simple link sharing or MCP server integration. Agents retrieve the recording's structured context — including frames, transcript, and interaction data — following the recording's access rules. Context includes microphone narration, system audio (where supported), pointer trails, and click targets.

What Makes It Different

Unlike traditional screen recorders, Clipy treats recordings as structured agent context, not just video files. The AREC format spec and agent skill documentation enable developers to build custom integrations. Clipy also publishes benchmark results showing structured recording context outperforming transcript-only input on controlled coding tasks.
