What is Clipnote?

Clipnote is an AI video to notes app for iOS. It transcribes any TikTok, Instagram Reel, YouTube video, or recipe video you share to it, then uses AI to summarize and extract the actual ideas — key takeaways, action items, concepts, and quotes — into a structured note you can search and revisit.

How does Clipnote summarize videos with AI?

Share any video from TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube, or another app. Clipnote transcribes the audio with Whisper, then uses Anthropic Claude to extract structured notes: a TL;DR, 3-7 key takeaways, action items, notable quotes, and defined concepts. Short clips finish in around 30 seconds; longer videos under a minute.

Can Clipnote save recipes from TikTok and Instagram Reels?

Yes — recipe saver is one of the most popular use cases. Share a TikTok or Reel recipe to Clipnote and it extracts the ingredients, measurements, and steps as a clean, readable note. No more screenshotting and rewatching to remember the cup count.

How is this different from a transcript or summary?

Transcripts are walls of text. Generic summaries are vague. Clipnote produces structured notes — TL;DR, key takeaways, action items, defined concepts, notable quotes — formatted so you can actually use what you watched.

Which apps and platforms does Clipnote support?

Anything with a share sheet on iOS: TikTok, Instagram (Reels, posts, stories), YouTube (including Shorts), Facebook, X, LinkedIn, Threads, and any browser. If you can share it, Clipnote can transcribe and summarize it.

Where are my videos stored?

Nowhere. Videos stream through our pipeline and are deleted the moment transcription completes — usually within 10 seconds. Only the structured note is saved to your account.

Does Clipnote work offline?

AI processing requires a connection, but every note you create is cached on-device. Read, search, and tag your video notes on a plane, on the subway, anywhere.

Is Clipnote free?

Yes. The free tier includes 5 AI video notes per month. Clipnote Pro is $4.99 / month or $34.99 / year for unlimited notes, with a 7-day free trial.

Do you train AI on my notes?

No. Clipnote does not sell your data, does not show ads, and does not use your notes to train AI models. Your library is yours.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Subscriptions are managed through your Apple ID. Cancel in one tap, keep access until the period ends.
