Clip Anything on Your Mac — No Upper Limit
Record any video window—Safari, VLC, QuickTime, or desktop streams—with no maximum duration, without capturing your wallpaper, dock, or private notifications.
No Upper Time Limit
Unlike the Chrome Extension which is optimized for clips up to 2 minutes, the native Mac App lets you record continuous clips of any duration—from short reactions to entire lectures.
Zero Desktop Clutter
Clip Ahora locks onto the specific window you select. Even if incoming email banners or messages pop up on your screen, they are completely excluded from the clip.
Global Shortcut: ⌥⌘C
Press Option + Command + C whenever you want to record, and press it again when you're done. The app runs quietly in your top menu bar without cluttering your Dock.
