What we shipped.
Curated highlights, not commit logs. We update this as we ship — not when marketing wakes up.
QUICK ANSWER
The Clipy changelog summarizes meaningful product updates for the free screen recorder, including recording, upload, sharing, playback, desktop, Chrome extension, and privacy changes. It is curated for users rather than copied from commit history.
Highlights
- Jun 15
Private + restricted sharing — invites, domains, request-access
Every video can now be Public (default), Restricted (specific people up to 10, or anyone on @your-domain), or Private. Locked-out viewers can request access; the owner approves with one click.
- May 24
Share links unfurl everywhere
Per-video OG image at 1200×630 so LinkedIn, X, Slack, Discord and iMessage all show a real video card with thumbnail, title and duration.
- May 24
Webcam overlay shows the camera again
Fixed a regression where the floating webcam bubble appeared empty during browser recordings. Now you can also drag it, resize it, and pop it out.
- May 20
The Clipy Pledge
Five promises Loom can't sign. Founder-signed, dated.
- May
AI summary on every recording — free
Including chat with your video → jumps the player to the exact timestamp. Loom paywalls this.
