Your AI can't see your screen. Until now.

Hold a key — ContextClip captures your screen every few seconds. Release — paste the visual context into any AI. No always-on recording. You control what your AI sees.

How it works

1

Hold the key

Press the hotkey — ContextClip starts capturing your screen at a set interval. Only while you hold it.

2

Do the thing

Reproduce a bug, walk through a UI flow, show an animation. ContextClip captures screenshots along the way.

3

Release

Frames are composed into a numbered grid and copied to your clipboard. Instantly.

4

Paste into any AI

Cmd+V into Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, Slack — anything that accepts images. Your AI sees what you saw.

Why ContextClip

Every AI screen tool wants to record you 24/7. ContextClip is the opposite.

Nothing runs in the background

No always-on recording. No background process. The capture stream only runs during your session. You decide what gets captured.

Works with any AI

Not locked to one vendor. Paste into Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, local models, Slack, email — anything that takes an image.

Fully local, no cloud

Nothing leaves your Mac unless you paste it. No account, no cloud sync, no telemetry. Your screen stays yours.

$5 once. That's it.

No subscription. No per-seat pricing. One purchase, yours forever. Free tier is a complete product — Pro just unlocks longer recordings and faster capture.
