ClipHearth 1.7.5: the app in eight languages, scrolling screenshots, and marks over a video
ClipHearth now speaks English, Czech, German, French, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, and Polish. It starts in your system's language when it has it, and you can switch in Settings at any time. A scrolling screenshot takes a long page or window while you scroll, and Cover private details finds and pixelates e-mails, phone numbers, card numbers, IBANs, and common API keys in a screenshot, read on your computer (it can miss some, so check before you share). The Editor's new Marks row puts an arrow, a box, a circle, a numbered step, a spotlight, a blur, or a pixelation over part of a video. A recording can keep the way of the pointer and, if you turn it on, the shortcuts you pressed, stored next to the recording on your computer, so a zoom can follow the pointer and the shortcuts show as text. Behind me blurs your room while you record, Join can take just a part of each clip, downloads can be paused and resumed while ClipHearth is open, and the Converter can watch a folder and convert each new file once it is finished, never touching the originals. Edit by text now places every word to within a few hundredths of a second. 1.7.6 follows the same day with a fix for restarting in a new language. Existing installations get both through the updater.
ClipHearth 1.7.4: the camera, text, zooms, and chapters on the Editor's timeline
The Editor's timeline gets rows for Layout, Text, Zoom, and Chapters. A screen recording keeps its screen and camera apart, so the camera can sit in the corner, fill the picture, stand beside the screen, or leave for a while, and Behind me blurs or replaces the room behind you after recording. Text, titles, and pictures fade or slide over any part, zooms are blocks that move between places, and chapters stay in place after every cut. Join can crossfade or go through black. The Editor also exports an App Store preview, a GIF under 5 or 10 MB, H.265, and a fast trim without re-encoding, evens out the loudness for podcasts, video sites, or broadcast, and lets music go quieter under speech as much as you choose. AI subtitles save .vtt and the words as text, Settings names files after your own pattern, and a radio programme or a live broadcast can be recorded at a set time. Existing installations get it through the updater.
ClipHearth 1.7.2: every sound track on the Editor's timeline, and parts cut out of the middle
The Editor shows every sound track under the video, each with its waveform, its own volume, mute, sync to a hundredth of a second, background noise reduction, and the choice to lower the other tracks while it plays. Record adds a voice track from the play position, and Record over it says a sentence again. A sound file gets a track of its own, Start a cut here (or X) cuts a part out of the middle, and keyboard shortcuts move around the video. Picture and sound now stay exactly together after cuts, at other speeds and in screen recordings. Existing installations get it through the updater; the downloads on this site are still 1.7.0.
One ClipHearth license, up to 10 computers
A lifetime license now grows with you: add computers to it for 12 € each, up to 10, at cliphearth.com/add-computers, and use the same key on each of them. They may be used by you, your household, or your small team, and the computers of one license can share a box right away. Each payment for extra computers is refundable on its own within 14 days.
ClipHearth 1.7.1: shared box files wait for your click, and a map of how the computers connect
In a shared box, texts up to 1 MB and pictures up to 20 MB still come by themselves, while files from other computers now wait until you click Get, with a notification that says what is waiting; the box's settings can bring them in by themselves again. ClipHearth checks first that the disk has room, and Stop getting it stops an item on its way. One button in the box's bar opens a map of how this computer reaches each of the others. A new password says whether it is recommended, wrong passwords someone else tries no longer lock a box for everyone, and ClipHearth tells you when the computer's clock is wrong. Existing installations get it through the updater; the downloads on this site are still 1.7.0.
ClipHearth 1.7: a new Home, a shared box you can lock, and screen recording on Wayland
ClipHearth now opens on Home: paste a link or search the web, or start a recording, a screenshot, or an edit from there. The browser has a start page of its own, and the Queue, Following, Settings, and Contact us share one calmer look. A shared box can now be locked with a password on one computer, which keeps everything it holds there encrypted, so a box on a single computer works as a safe. The computer that created a box is its admin, every computer in a box needs a license, and the box shows how each computer is connected and how much of the relay server's 20 GB a month is used (direct connections have no limit). On Linux with Wayland, screen recording works through the desktop's own sharing dialog. Existing installations get it through the updater, and the downloads on this site are 1.7.0.
ClipHearth 1.6.9: screen recordings up to 3 minutes are free
Screen recordings up to 3 minutes no longer use a task, also without a license and after the trial, so short takes are free next to free screenshots. A longer recording uses one task when it passes 3 minutes; when none is left, it stops at 3:00 and is saved, so nothing is lost. Shelf is now called Shared box and shows how fast an item comes in, notifications carry ClipHearth's name, and pop-up windows and cookies are handled more safely.
ClipHearth 1.6: screenshots, a shared box between your computers, and updates in one window
A new Screenshots section captures an area, a window, or the whole screen with one key, also in games, marks it up, copies the text out of anything on the screen, and finds every capture by its words; screenshots never count as a trial task. A shared box (called Shelf until 1.6.8) sends texts, pictures, and files between your computers, or to a friend, straight from one computer to the other and encrypted end to end, with no account. ClipHearth now stays in the tray when you close its window, starts with the computer, and updates in one window from the download to Start; on Windows it installs for your account only, without an administrator.
ClipHearth 1.5.3: your camera without a green screen, and a calmer main window
Remove the background behind me now works without a green screen: ClipHearth finds you in the camera picture on your computer, and the screen or a picture of your choice shows behind you. The main window is tidier, with sections grouped under Download and Create & edit, a start screen for an empty Queue, and one row per file in Completed. The Convertor is now called the Converter, and the newest browser extension reaches the app directly. It arrives through the updater inside the app.
The ClipHearth extension for Chrome, Edge, and Firefox
The free ClipHearth extension is in the Chrome Web Store, Microsoft Edge Add-ons, and Firefox Add-ons. Its button and right-click item send the page you are on to ClipHearth on your computer, which opens the quality choice for it. It needs ClipHearth 1.5 or later and collects nothing.
ClipHearth 1.5.2: record your screen, your voice, and your camera
A new Screen recording section records a display, a window, an area, or a game, with the computer's sound, your microphone, and your camera in a corner. Test 5 s checks everything before a long take, clicks can be highlighted and zoomed in on, and an instant replay keeps the last minutes until you press the key. The recording goes straight on to the Editor: cut it by text, add captions, export. Plus a voice-over recorded right in the Editor. It arrives through the updater inside the app.
ClipHearth 1.5: edit by text, word-by-word captions, and podcasts that come in by themselves
Cut a video like a document: strike out words or every ehm and hmm, and the cuts fall into the quiet between words. Burn big captions with the spoken word lit up, make a vertical clip in one click, and split an export into parts. Follow a podcast or a playlist and new episodes download while ClipHearth runs. Plus a target file size in the Converter, tags and covers for sound files, a steadier picture, and a time code. The AI parts run on your computer and come with the license.
ClipHearth 1.4.8: watermarks, music under the picture, and clean-up
The Editor now lays a logo or a line of text over the picture, puts music or a voice-over under a video or in place of its sound, and cleans up old recordings: deinterlace, soften the grain, sharpen, and take the hiss out of the sound. The same changes can go to a whole set of files at once, joins get a sound track and a watermark too, and the Editor also saves WebM, M4A, FLAC, and OGG. It arrives through the updater inside the app.
ClipHearth 1.4.6: the Editor in steps, zoom and pan, and the pauses cut out
The Editor now works in three steps, with the crop and the zoom adjusted right on the preview. Zoom & pan glides between keyframes, as in an app preview made from a screen recording, and Remove silence cuts the pauses out of a talk. The Converter shows every file of a batch before it starts, and Downloaded is now Completed. It arrives through the updater inside the app.
ClipHearth 1.4.5: optional AI subtitles that stay on your computer
Add subtitles to a video as you download it or to one you already have: the ones the site or the file has, a translation, or speech recognised by AI, all on your computer. It is optional and included in the license, and no model is downloaded until you pick one. The Converter now uses the graphics card too, the browser finds videos more reliably, and files can be dropped straight onto the Converter, the Editor, or AI subtitles.
ClipHearth is out for Windows, macOS, and Linux
The first public release. Open a page in the built-in browser and ClipHearth finds the video, live stream, or radio on it: download it, record it as it plays, convert it to another format, or trim it in the Editor. The browser blocks ads and trackers out of the box, and on Debian, Ubuntu, and Mint the app updates through apt. Try it free for 3 tasks.
