Clippy Vision is a fully local screen-memory assistant. It passively watches your windows, clipboard, and screenshots, and lets you ask questions about your own activity, "what was I reading about X earlier," and it pulls the real answer from your history instead of asking you for context.
Everything runs on your machine. No cloud calls, nothing leaves your device.
