Clipto

What is Clipto?

Clipto is a local-first AI memory platform that indexes videos, audio, images, documents, and meeting recordings into a single searchable library on your computer. It connects to external AI tools like Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor through MCP. The Mac desktop app requires an Apple silicon Mac (M1+) running macOS 15+ with at least 8GB of memory.

What are the features of Clipto?

• Local media indexing

  Imports videos, audio files, photos, PDFs, DOCX files, slides, and bookmarks into a searchable on-device library without requiring cloud uploads.
• AI transcription

  Converts video, audio, meetings, and YouTube content into text transcripts.
• Cross-tool memory access

  Connects the indexed library to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or other MCP-compatible tools so queries return answers linked to source timestamps.
• Semantic media search

  Finds specific moments in video or audio by searching for on-screen content, spoken words, or scene descriptions rather than filenames.
• Video summarization

  Generates summaries from uploaded video files or YouTube links.
• Editing integrations

  Provides plugins for Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve to locate source clips directly within editing software.

What are the use cases of Clipto?

• Analysts querying multiple earnings call recordings and financial reports to track how executive guidance changes over several quarters, with answers linked to source audio.
• Students asking questions across recorded lectures and slide decks to retrieve specific concepts along with auto-generated notes and source timestamps.
