What is Offlyn Clipper?

The Offlyn Clipper integration bridges your local terminal agent directly with Offlyn Clipper on macOS. As one of the most powerful privacy-centric Openclaw Skills, it provides a secure local MCP connection that doesn't rely on cloud storage, keeping your sensitive data entirely on your machine. With this connection, you can query your active voice recordings and search historical meeting databases seamlessly.

By leveraging this tool, you can instruct your AI assistant to query ongoing audio streams, process voice notes, and surface context-rich insights from your personal knowledge base. It handles raw transcripts safely, respecting the sharing policies you enforce directly inside the native macOS client application.

Offlyn Clipper Use Cases

  • Catching up on an active, ongoing meeting or call that Offlyn Clipper is currently recording.
  • Retrieving specific project details and action items from historic meetings and voice memos.
  • Offering prompt suggestion chips inside your console matching native macOS app context.
  • Augmenting developer context privately using local Openclaw Skills with no external cloud dependencies.

How Offlyn Clipper Works

  1. Local IPC Connection: OpenClaw establishes connection with the local Offlyn Clipper desktop app via a secure macOS socket (clipper.sock).
  2. Tool Routing: When a user asks to catch up on a meeting, the agent invokes clipper_catch_me_up instead of retrieving outdated databases.
  3. Transcript Synthesis: The local MCP bridge pulls active transcription buffers directly from the running audio session.
  4. Contextual Action: The AI processes the transcript to compile summaries, highlight key decisions, and list next-step action items.

Offlyn Clipper Setup

Follow these steps to connect and initialize the integration:

  1. Launch the Offlyn Clipper desktop application on your Mac.
  2. Execute the setup script from your terminal:
bash "{baseDir}/scripts/setup.sh"
  1. Click Allow when the Clipper application prompts you to authorize OpenClaw.
  2. Verify your local configuration by checking your metadata with these commands:
openclaw mcp show clipper
openclaw skills info offlyn-clipper
  1. Test the live meeting catch-up functionality while recording:
openclaw agent --message "Catch me up on my current Clipper meeting"

If you experience stale session issues or tools do not load correctly after an update, execute:

bash "{baseDir}/scripts/update-installed-skill.sh"
openclaw gateway restart

And start a fresh chat session with \/new.

Offlyn Clipper Data Schema & Taxonomy

The integration organizes its local pairing credentials, system sockets, and diagnostics across standard paths:

Item Path / Location Description
Credentials ~/.config/offlyn-clipper/openclaw-credentials.json Stores local authorization tokens.
Unix Socket CLIPPER_SOCKET_PATH or /tmp/clipper.sock Used for zero-latency local IPC streams.
MCP Entrypoint {baseDir}/mcp-bridge/index.mjs Runs the bridge between OpenClaw and Clipper.
Diagnostic Script {baseDir}/mcp-bridge/verify.mjs Quick verification script to test socket health.

Offlyn Clipper Advanced Features

  • Granular Permission Controls: Users can selectively toggle sharing settings for individual tools via Clipper -> Settings -> Integrations -> Shared with OpenClaw.
  • Desktop Suggestion Chips: Fetch native app preset actions using clipper_list_chat_presets to surface context-aware options directly inside terminal chats.
  • Robust Gateway Recovery: Features an internal clipper_ping function to verify local bridge health and recover from stale OpenClaw terminal threads without restarting your Mac.
