Clipy is an AI agent-native screen recorder that turns every recording into both a video for humans and a markdown report for AI agents. It captures screen, camera, and audio, then generates a summary, transcript, and key moments with frame and click target data that Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor can read and act on. The recorder is free for Mac, Chrome, and web, with no viewer sign-up required.
What is Clipy?
Clipy is a screen recording tool designed for AI agent workflows. It records your screen, webcam, and microphone, then produces a shareable video link and a public markdown twin (.arec) that AI agents can parse. It runs on Mac, Chrome, and the web, and is made by Clipy (no company name stated on the page).
