Clipto is an AI memory platform for people who work with a lot of media. It takes videos, images, meetings, voice memos, documents and bookmarks and turns them into one searchable Memory that lives on the user's own computer.
The idea is that computers remember filenames while people remember moments. Clipto indexes what is said and shown, so a user can search in plain language and land on the right clip, page or timestamp instead of digging through folders.
Files flow into Clipto from wherever they already live. The Mac and Windows apps run local-first, so media does not have to be uploaded before it becomes searchable. Cloud intelligence is optional, and the iPhone, Android and Web versions are powered by the cloud.
Once indexed, the Memory can be searched, summarized or queried. Each answer links back to its source, including the person, the moment and the exact timestamp. Through MCP, the same Memory can be used from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Clipto's own Agent.
The core feature is natural language search across video, audio, images and documents. Supporting it are automatic speech transcription in 99+ languages, automatic people tagging, and analysis of videos up to 6 hours long. Summarizers cover general video and YouTube video.
Around that core sit transcription tools, including a video to text converter, an audio to text converter, meeting transcription and a YouTube transcript generator. Editors get an AI editing assistant that helps locate source clips, plus plugins for Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve.
