Clipto AI

Clipto AI is a local-first AI memory platform that turns the videos, images, meetings, conversations, and documents already stored on your computer into a single searchable Memory. Instead of losing recordings and notes in folders, you can search across everything you have captured and get answers linked back to the exact person, moment, and timestamp in the original source.

Key Features

• One searchable Memory across media types. Clipto captures footage and clips, meetings and interviews, voice memos, photos and screenshots, documents such as PDFs, DOCX files and slides, and bookmarks into a single Memory. You can search across your local library with on-device processing and jump straight to the matching moment rather than digging through filenames and folders.

• Answers traced to exact sources. Every result links back to its original moment. When you ask a question, Clipto shows the timestamped passage or frame it came from, so you can verify a quote, trace a decision, or locate the source clip instead of trusting an unverifiable summary.

• Works inside the AI tools you already use. Through MCP, your Memory connects to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or Clipto's own Agent, so the same sources are available wherever you ask questions. There are also plugins for Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve, plus web, iOS, and Android access powered by cloud.

• Automatic tagging and scene organization for video. Clipto auto-tags footage by scene, subject, and shot type, and builds transcripts and scene data for your library. Creators can search by what is on screen — such as a wide shot of a dune ridge at sunset — and jump to the exact frame ready to cut.

• Transcripts, notes, and summaries that build Memory. AI Transcription, Meeting Notes, Video Summary, Voice Notes, Media Search, YouTube Summary, and B-roll Search all feed into the same Memory rather than acting as separate products. Build your Memory once and reuse the context across search, summaries, editing, research, and agent answers.

• Local-first with optional cloud intelligence. Memory begins where your data already lives, and your videos and conversations do not have to leave your device just to become searchable. Cloud intelligence is optional, and your Memory stays yours wherever you use it.

Typical Use Cases

• Video creators managing large footage archives. A filmmaker or video editor shoots multiple takes and accumulates years of footage. They let Clipto auto-tag scenes and build transcripts, then search for the moment they need — for example, the drone shot where a car rounds a bend — and jump directly to the exact timecode instead of scrubbing through drives.

• Product teams preserving decision context. A team records meetings, calls, and syncs across a quarter. When someone asks why usage-based pricing was dropped, they search Memory and trace the decision back to the exact meeting and timestamp, helping new hires catch up without asking around and surfacing past debates before they repeat.

• Researchers and journalists verifying evidence. A researcher collects interviews, papers, and field notes, or a journalist records interviews and notes. They search for every quote on a topic, cross-reference findings across studies, and verify a quote down to the exact second, building citations without re-reading everything.

• Students studying across a semester. A student records lectures and collects slides and readings. They ask questions across an entire semester of lectures, jump to the exact slide or moment a concept was taught, and rely on auto-generated notes from every recorded class as a study partner that remembers.

How It Works

1. Download Clipto for Mac or Windows (beta) to run local-first, or use the iPhone, Android, and web versions powered by cloud.
2. Capture or add your existing media — videos, meetings, voice memos, photos, documents, and bookmarks — into your Memory.
3. Clipto processes the content on-device, generating transcripts, scenes, tags, and notes that build Memory.
4. Search your Memory or ask questions through Clipto's Agent or a connected MCP-compatible tool such as Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor.
5. Follow each answer back to its source moment, timestamp, or document page to verify and reuse the context.

Who It's For

Clipto AI is built for people who work with content every day and need to find specific moments later. The site names video creators, analysts, students, product teams, researchers, and journalists, along with photographers, video editors, filmmakers, and marketers who manage large archives of footage and recordings. It also suits anyone who wants AI search over their own media while keeping files local. Note the hardware requirements: an Apple silicon Mac (M1 or later) with macOS 15+ and 8GB+ memory, or a Windows PC with 16GB+ RAM and 8GB+ VRAM.

FAQ

Is Clipto AI free to use?

The site offers downloads for Mac and Windows (beta) as well as iOS, Android, and web versions, but it does not publish pricing details in the provided content. Check the official website for current plan and pricing information.

Where does my data go?

Clipto is local-first, not local-only: Memory begins where your data already lives, and cloud intelligence is optional. The Mac and Windows versions run local-first, while the iPhone, Android, and web versions are powered by cloud.

Which AI tools can access my Memory?

Your Memory connects through MCP to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or Clipto's own Agent, with the same Memory and same sources in each. Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve plugins are also available.

What file types can I capture?

Clipto captures videos and clips, meetings and calls, voice memos, photos and screenshots, documents such as PDF, DOCX, and slides, plus bookmarks and links.

What are the system requirements?

For Mac, you need an Apple silicon Mac (M1+) with macOS 15+ and 8GB+ memory. For Windows, you need a PC with 16GB+ RAM and 8GB+ VRAM.

Clipto AI offers the most value to creators, teams, and researchers who need to retrieve exact moments and verified context from their own media without uploading it first.
