Capture, convert, edit.
One desktop workbench.

ClipHearth is for media you own, created yourself, are authorized to use, or may lawfully process. That's the agreement you accept on first run. The app does not circumvent DRM, and protected content is not supported.

Yes. The app runs in trial mode with 3 free tasks per device, enough to test a download, a conversion, and an edit. Screenshots, screen recordings and live streams up to 3 minutes, and Test 5 s never count as a task. A longer recording takes one task the moment it passes 3 minutes, a download from Following is one task, and a shared box needs a license on every computer. When the third one is used up, the next click opens an offer to buy a license or to enter a key you already have, and the task carries on the moment the key is activated.

Windows 10 and later (64-bit and 32-bit installers), macOS 12 and later (Apple Silicon and Intel), and Linux on x64 and arm64: a .deb for Debian, Ubuntu, and Mint that updates through apt, and a tar.gz with an install script for other distributions. FFmpeg and the media engine are bundled in every build. AI subtitles need a 64-bit system; on x64 the processor needs AVX2 (Intel from 2013, AMD from 2015), and the 32-bit Windows build does not include them.

The app speaks English, Czech, German, French, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, and Polish. It starts in your system's language when it has it, otherwise in English; pick another one when ClipHearth starts for the first time or later in Settings. This website, the Terms, the Privacy Policy, and the license texts are in English. The language you choose is not sent anywhere.

Pick a lifetime license (one payment, no expiry, 14-day money-back guarantee) or a monthly subscription (cancel any time). Your key shows up on the confirmation page and by e-mail right after checkout and activates the app on one computer. The app confirms the license with our server while you use it; without a connection a lifetime license keeps working for up to 30 days (40 tasks) and a subscription for up to 7 days (15 tasks). A subscription keeps working until the paid-through date, even after you cancel.

Yes, with a lifetime license. A license covers one computer, and you can add more to the same license for € 12 each, up to 10 computers in total: open cliphearth.com/add-computers with your key. On each extra computer you enter the same key, and the computers can be used by your household or a small team. Every computer in a shared box needs a license: each one is one of your license's computers or has its own license. Extra computers can be refunded within 14 days, as the Refund Policy explains. A monthly subscription covers one computer.

Reinstalling ClipHearth, or losing its license file, keeps your license: the app recognises the computer and gets the license back on its own, without the key. A fresh install of the operating system, a different user account or a new computer counts as a new computer, so the old one has to be released first - write to info@cliphearth.com from the address you bought with and we will do it.

Yes, from the app: License → Upgrade to lifetime, or open cliphearth.com/upgrade and paste your key. You pay the normal lifetime price once. The lifetime license starts when the period you have already paid for ends. Those days are not refunded, and nothing is charged again after that. We cancel the monthly charge for you and your activation key stays the same. Change your mind within 14 days? The refund deactivates the lifetime license, and we e-mail you a new key for the subscription days you had not used yet.

Payments run through Stripe, and Stripe's Link is the merchant of record: VAT or sales tax is handled at checkout, receipts and invoices come from Link, and refund or payment questions go through Link support or info@cliphearth.com. Prices are shown in EUR with tax included; Stripe converts them to your local currency at checkout.

Video: MP4, MKV, MOV, WebM, AVI, M4V, WMV, FLV, MPEG, 3GP, OGV, and animated GIF. Audio: MP3, WAV, M4A/AAC, FLAC, OGG Vorbis, Opus, WMA, AIFF, and AC-3. The Studio also opens animated GIFs to edit them, exports GIFs, and saves PNG frame snapshots.

Yes. When a page plays audio on its own (a music or podcast page, a sound-only stream, or a plain MP3, AAC, FLAC, or OGG file), ClipHearth shows Audio found and Download audio, and saves the file in its original format without re-encoding. A live audio stream, such as an internet radio station you are authorized to record, shows Live audio found; Record audio keeps going until you click Stop and save. Pulling the soundtrack out of a video still uses the audio format from Settings.

No. Speech recognition and translation run on your computer. The only thing ClipHearth fetches is the model you choose, once, from our download address models.cliphearth.com (served through Cloudflare), and that request carries no device id, license key, or cookies. AI subtitles need a license; subtitles a video or a page already has work in the free trial too. In the free trial, Settings already rates each AI model for your computer, so you can see how it will run before you buy. Like any AI output they can contain mistakes, so check them before you rely on them or publish them.

No. AI subtitles are part of the license at no extra cost, and using them is up to you. ClipHearth downloads no AI model on its own, new downloads get no subtitles unless you switch that on, and speech recognition runs only when you start it. Every other tool works exactly the same without it.

No. The picture and sound go from your computer straight to the services you pick, and your stream keys stay on your computer, encrypted with a key of that computer, and go only to the service they belong to. Signing in with Twitch also goes directly between your computer and Twitch.

Yes. Like a recording, a stream is free for its first 3 minutes. After that it takes one of the 3 free tasks of the trial or needs a license, and live captions on the stream need a license.

No. What you send is encrypted end to end on your computers, so neither the relay nor the ClipHearth server can read it. Our server only coordinates the box: which computers are in it and how they reach each other.

Never. Every edit and conversion is exported as a new file, and the original stays untouched. The one change to a file you already have is one you choose yourself: AI subtitles can add a subtitle track into the video, without re-encoding the picture or the sound, and swaps the file only after checking the new copy. Pick the .srt file or burning in, and the video stays exactly as it was.
