A visual walkthrough of Clipps
From any app's share sheet to a save that's actually useful. Recipes become ingredients you can buy, movies become streaming links, books become free borrows, research papers become citation refs. Eight chapters of real screenshots from a real library. Click any image to expand.
The problem: I save a hundred things online a week, almost none of which I come back to. Notes, screenshots, browser bookmarks. None of it composes into anything I can act on.
Clipps is a save layer with a few pieces I think are different.
Outbound links from every save.
Every extracted item links to somewhere you can actually do something with it. A recipe's ingredients link to Instacart, Amazon Fresh, Walmart. A book links to Libby, Hardcover, Audible, Goodreads. A movie links to streaming providers in your country. This is the part most save tools skip.
Modules extract different content types.
Recipes, movies, books, anime, research papers, sneakers, music. Each module knows what fields matter for its content type and where to look them up. Anyone can build one, or describe what you collect and Clipps drafts the module for you.
Brains.
Group your saves into smaller collections you can chat with directly. A cooking brain, a coding brain, a reading queue. Each one searchable and chat ready on its own. A single save can be a brain too.
AI agnostic.
Sign in with whatever AI you already use, Gemini, OpenAI, Claude, xAI, DeepSeek, or local models via Ollama. Your AI does the processing, your tokens, your control. Most AI apps die when the next model drops. Clipps doesn't have that problem.
Plus an MCP server, CLI, and Obsidian plugin, so any agent can query your library and the same library shows up in your Obsidian vault as markdown notes.

2.Library, organized by content type
Tabs are driven by which modules matched, not by folders you have to maintain. Saved a research paper? Research Papers tab appears. Saved a tutorial? Technical Tutorial tab appears. No setup, no tagging.
