Frequently asked questions
Is Clipy free to download?
Yes, completely free on both Mac and Windows. No trial period, no credit card. Recordings have no watermark and viewers never need an account to watch.
Which Mac processors does Clipy support?
Clipy supports both Intel (x86_64) and Apple Silicon (arm64) Macs natively. Apple Silicon Macs run the arm64 build for full speed, while Intel Macs get the x86_64 build. All builds cover macOS 12.3 and newer.
What macOS version do I need?
macOS 12.3 (Monterey) or later. System audio capture requires macOS 13 (Ventura) or later because it relies on ScreenCaptureKit's audio APIs.
What Windows version do I need?
Windows 10 build 1903 (May 2019 Update) or newer, 64-bit only. Screen capture uses the Windows Graphics Capture API, which shipped in 1903. Windows 11 is fully supported. ARM64 Windows (Surface Pro X, Copilot+ PCs) is not yet supported but is on the roadmap.
Which Windows download should I pick?
For the current release, download the installer (.exe). It asks whether you want to install for just yourself (no admin required) or for all users on the machine (requires admin). MSI and portable packages will appear on this page when those formats are published.
Can I install Clipy on a locked-down corporate Windows laptop without admin rights?
Usually. The installer (.exe) supports a per-user mode that writes to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Clipy and doesn't need admin. Organizations running AppLocker, WDAC, or strict SmartScreen policies may still block an unsigned executable; in that case your IT team has to whitelist the publisher.
Is the Windows installer code-signed?
Initial Windows releases ship unsigned while we work on the OV / EV code-signing certificate. The first launch will show a SmartScreen warning that the user can click through (More info → Run anyway). Code signing is on the immediate roadmap; once it lands, the warning goes away and the auto-updater verifies signatures on every update.
Is the Mac DMG signed and notarized?
Yes. Every Mac release is code-signed with our Apple Developer ID and notarized through Apple's notarytool in CI. macOS verifies the signature on first launch, so no Gatekeeper override or right-click-Open dance is needed.
How big is the download?
Mac DMG is around 150 MB. The current Windows installer is about 52 MB. Windows may download the Edge WebView2 runtime during installation if it is not already present.
Where do I find older versions?
All historical releases are listed at clipy.online/download/releases with version, release date, platform, and direct download links. You can downgrade to a previous build at any time.
Does Clipy auto-update?
Yes for the Mac DMG and Windows installer. Mac updates are verified against our Apple Developer ID; Windows updates are verified against our Tauri updater signature once code signing lands.
