Overview
Clipto is a local-first AI memory platform designed to unify all forms of media—videos, audio recordings, meetings, conversations, images, documents, and ideas—into a single, searchable memory that lives directly on your computer. Rather than leaving files scattered across folders where they become invisible and irretrievable, Clipto converts raw data into a structured, evolving memory. It understands, connects, and remembers content over time, giving you the ability to retrieve not just filenames but the actual moments, people, and concepts behind them. This turns the problem of being overwhelmed by data into a workflow where memory compounds and remains available whenever you need it.
At its technical core, Clipto leverages advanced AI models for automatic transcription, translation, video/audio-to-text conversion, scene detection, auto-tagging, and semantic search. The platform prioritizes on-device processing: your videos, meetings, and documents are indexed locally first, which preserves privacy and minimizes latency. Cloud intelligence is available as an optional enhancement, making the platform local-first without being local-only. Clipto also implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling AI assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible tool to access your memory directly. Every AI-generated answer is traceable to its original source—down to the specific person, moment, and timestamp—ensuring that insights are evidence-based and verifiable.
Clipto is built for a wide range of professional and academic workloads. Video creators can search years of footage by scene, subject, or shot type and jump straight to the exact frame needed for editing. Analysts can query earnings calls and financial documents while tracking how guidance changes quarter after quarter. Students can ask questions across an entire semester of lectures and land on the precise slide or whiteboard moment where a concept was explained. Product teams can trace every decision to the exact meeting where it was made, preserving context across quarters. Researchers can cross-reference interviews, papers, and field notes, with every quote linked to its primary source. Journalists can verify details by pulling exact timestamps from conversations and recordings.
Clipto runs on Apple Silicon Macs (M1+ with 16GB+ memory) and Windows PCs with 12GB+ RAM. It also extends to iOS, Android, and Web through cloud capabilities, with connectors for popular workflows including Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve plugins. By combining a local-first architecture with powerful semantic indexing and MCP-driven AI access, Clipto delivers a private, persistent memory layer that makes all your media—past and present—instantly discoverable, reusable, and actionable.
