Desktop capture for vertical video

Record vertical video, right on your desktop.

Klippies floats a 9:16 frame over your screen that follows your cursor. Shoot TikToks and Reels straight from your Mac — framed, clean, ready to upload. No full-screen capture. No reframing in post.

The old way

Vertical video wasn't made for desktops.

So creators fight their tools: capture the whole screen, then crop, guess, and re-export. Klippies removes every one of those steps.

01

Capture everything, keep a sliver

Full-screen recordings get cropped to a thin vertical strip — you throw away most of the pixels and the quality with them.

02

Guess the safe area

You record blind, hoping the action lands inside a 9:16 crop you can't actually see until you're in the editor.

03

Reframe in post, every time

Every clip is a round-trip through an editor just to make it the right shape before it's ready to upload.

Klippies

You frame the shot live, record exactly what's inside it, and get a finished vertical MP4. The editor step is just gone.

DEAD ZONE
The core idea

A frame that gets out of your way.

The frame is purely visual and fully click-through. Everything underneath stays live — click buttons, scroll, type, demo your app normally while it records.

  • A dead zone in the center

    Point and click anywhere inside the frame without nudging it. It holds perfectly still while you work.

  • Eased panning at the edges

    Push toward an edge and the frame glides that way — smoothly, never snapping. Pan only when you mean to.

  • Click-through by design

    The overlay never blocks input. Your real apps stay interactive the entire time you're recording.

Two ways to shoot

Screen or selfie. Same clean frame.

One capture engine, both kinds of content — flip between them whenever you start a recording.

Screen mode

Demo your product, framed

Capture a clean vertical slice of your screen for walkthroughs and app demos — with an optional Loom-style webcam bubble composited right into the corner.

YOUR CAMERA
Selfie mode

Talking-head, no phone

Your webcam fills the whole 9:16 frame, so intros, outros and reactions record like a phone selfie — straight from your desk, no tripod, no handoff.

Everything in the capture layer

Small app. Does the one thing perfectly.

Locked 9:16, always

The frame is permanently the right shape for vertical. Nothing to set up, nothing to get wrong.

TIKTOK · REELS · SHORTS

HARDWARE-DEPENDENT

Mic captured in sync

SCREEN MODE

MP4 to your Downloads

Exports finished H.264 MP4 — the format TikTok and Instagram actually want. Pick a custom folder once and it sticks.

H.264 · READY TO UPLOAD

Lives in the menu bar

Start and stop from the macOS menu bar or Windows tray. Runs quietly in the background, launches on startup if you want.

From open to upload

Three steps, then it's done.

Click the Klippies drop in your menu bar. The 9:16 frame appears on screen, ready to position.

Frame it & hit record

Pick screen or selfie, nudge the frame where you want it, and start. Your apps stay fully interactive underneath.

Get a finished MP4

Stop, and a ready-to-upload vertical clip lands in your Downloads. Take it straight to TikTok or Reels.
