Clippy is a friendly popup GPT using local LLMs that is aware of your current context and pastes responses right in the text field where you are working, eliminating copy pasting. You can use it with voice commands or dictate, all with local models. And it can create Linear tickets or edit your Google Clendar with your voice.

Hi Product Hunters 👋,
I'm Max,
I am coming from a non-technical background, from film production, and a bit more than a year ago I started building things that I like, that are useful for me, and that are fun.
I built Clippy because I wanted to have a cool way to dictate with local models and later I realised the whole GPT context copy and direct pasting possibility. And then ideas started storming with linear and co. I have a newer version with control of apple calendar and reminders, but thats still a work in progress.
And I chose Clippy for a vintage cute touch.
I did all the visuals myself in Figma and experimented a lot with liquid glass and local models.
Ah and as a fun fact - I coded around 90% of the app on airplane wifi, flying from Germany to SF. That was fun.
Hope you like it too.
Best,
Max

Is the extension safe? :D Lately I was trying more extensions and LinkedIn started accusing me I am using some not good tools so they restricted my account for a while. Because this looks like a cool tool but I do not want to risk anything :D

Could you please fix this? I got a confirmation email, but after confirming (clicking the link in the email), I got the Localhost message.

@busmark_w_nika checking! But try the login again. Should work afterwards

@busmark_w_nika all is fixed with the signup mail. Apologies for the friction 😇

@busmark_w_nika my friends didnt have problems installing it :D I did my best to make it the best I can
Context-aware “paste into active field” plus voice-triggered MCP tool calls can go sideways fast at scale: wrong-window injection, secure fields, and unintended side effects (Calendar, Linear) from misheard intent.
Best practice is capability-based tool permissions with explicit usaer-confirm steps and audit logs, plus OS-level allowlists and secure-field detection; for local dictation, streaming whisper.cpp-style on-device ASR with VAD keeps latency predictable and private
How do you sandbox MCP execution and prevent writes unless the focused app and target field pass an allowlist, especially around password or secure input contexts?

@ryan_thill thanks for the thoughts! I was working on a second version which gives you an approval checkbox for the MCP calls. Whisper runs locally, which is hat makes it ultra fast. And I did not have issues of it accidentalyl popping up and pasting wrong stuff :)
Coding 90% of the app on airplane Wi-Fi is the ultimate builder flex, thats an incredible story, Max.The liquid glass aesthetic in Figma really paid off and It’s clear that coming from a film background gave you a unique eye for the visuals the app looks beautiful! Only one question, are you planning to keep it strictly for macOS, or is a mobile companion app in the cards?

@eugene_chernyak thanks thanks! MacOS was my go to now. No Jarvis ambitions here, just a humble fun project :)
