Local-first AI memory that makes your videos, audio and documents searchable
Converts video, audio, meetings and voice memos into searchable transcripts locally, keeping original media on your own machine.
One index spanning videos, images, documents, PDFs, slides, screenshots and bookmarks, with results linked back to the source moment or page.
Lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other MCP-compatible clients query your Clipto memory and return answers with traceable citations.
Video summarizer, YouTube transcript generator, AI editing assistant and Premiere Pro / DaVinci Resolve plugins to jump straight to source clips.
A private, offline notebook that turns your own sources into reports, decks and briefings
Install a normal desktop app on Windows, macOS or Linux and run it with no account. With a local model you can pull the network cable and keep querying your indexed sources, since nothing is sent to a vendor.
Choose a bundled local Qwen or Gemma model at first launch, or paste a key for OpenAI, Anthropic or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. The model is a setting rather than a fixed vendor choice.
Turn one set of sources into slide decks, reports, briefing notes, podcasts, mind maps, flashcards, quizzes, Markdown, Word, PDF, HTML and spreadsheet outputs — generated and stored locally.
Optional plugins pull research from Google Search, Reddit, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Google Maps, Amazon, Walmart, Indeed and the open web, and anyone can register their own MCP server.
