Show HN: Clippy Vision – local AI that remembers your screen across apps

Clippy Vision, a local AI tool that remembers your screen across apps, is seeking early adopter feedback via a Google Form and GitHub releases. The project, hosted at github.com/protocorn/clippy-vision, asks users about the 'lost context across apps' problem, daily usability, capture control, and roadmap priorities such as MCP integration and privacy redaction. Automatic redaction for sensitive apps is still in progress, with pausing capture as the current privacy switch.

Description #

Thanks for trying Clippy Vision!

If you've installed and used it (even briefly), we'd love your honest feedback. It takes about 5 minutes and directly shapes what we build next.

**Feedback form:** [https://forms.gle/qxqmNBXzJsWGAAe29](https://forms.gle/qxqmNBXzJsWGAAe29)

**Download:** [https://github.com/protocorn/clippy-vision/releases/latest](https://github.com/protocorn/clippy-vision/releases/latest)

We're especially interested in:

  • Whether the "lost context across apps" problem feels real to you
  • Whether you'd keep Clippy running during a normal workday
  • Whether you felt in control of what gets captured
  • Which roadmap direction matters most (MCP integration, capture audit view, privacy redaction, etc.)

Bug reports and feature ideas are also welcome here in the comments, or open a separate issue with details.

Note: Automatic redaction for sensitive apps is still in progress. Pausing capture is the reliable privacy switch today.
