What AirClip Does

Past, present, and future audio — AirClip covers the full timeline of moments worth keeping.

Past
↺

Snap-Back™ Recovery

Missed it? Reach back up to 30 seconds and capture audio that already happened — whether you hit Record or not.

Present
⏺

Instant Recording

One click from the tray or a global hotkey starts a clean recording immediately. Pause, resume, stop — without leaving your flow.

Future
📺

DVR Scheduling

Schedule unattended recordings ahead of time — daily, weekly, or once. Fires whether the app is open or not.

Two-Way
🎙

Mic + System Mixing

Layer your voice over recorded audio for commentary, karaoke, podcasts, or two-sided call capture. Live mute and gain included.

🤖

One-Shot & Auto Mode PRO

One-Shot waits for audio, records exactly one clip, then disarms itself. Auto Mode uses silence detection to start and stop clips automatically.

Only on AirClip
🎙️

Loopback Capture — No Driver Needed

If you can hear it through your speakers or headphones, AirClip can record it. No VB-CABLE or driver install required for the standard path.

🎤

Microphone Mixing PRO

Layer your voice over recorded audio. Great for commentary, karaoke, or call capture. Live mute and gain control included.

🔌

VB-CABLE Routing PRO

Route specific app audio through a virtual cable for cleaner, isolated captures — no Windows system sounds, no bleed from other apps.

🪶

Lightweight Tray App

AirClip starts with Windows and uses negligible CPU at idle. The Mini Deck gives you transport controls without opening a full window.

⏰

Scheduled Recording PRO

Like a DVR for your PC — wire AirClip to Windows Task Scheduler and it records automatically, no babysitting required.

  • 🎙 Record every morning at 6am
  • 📺 Capture Tuesday night streams automatically
  • 🕐 Auto-record from 1pm – 3pm daily

Works with any Windows Task Scheduler trigger — daily, weekly, on login, or on demand.

How It Works

Simple by default, powerful when you need it

Start recording in seconds. No audio engineering degree required.

1

Install & Launch

Run the installer. AirClip adds a tray icon and is ready to record immediately — no reboot, no driver install.

2

Play Your Audio

Start playing music, a stream, a call — anything. AirClip captures the same mix Windows is sending to your speakers or headphones.

3

Hit Record

Click the tray icon to open the Mini Deck and press Record, or use a global hotkey. AirClip saves the clip to your recordings folder when you stop.

4

Your Clip, Your Files

Clips are saved as MP3 or WAV on your machine. No cloud sync, no account needed. Your recordings stay private.

How We Stack Up

~ Partial — feature exists but requires manual configuration, third-party plugins, or has meaningful limitations vs AirClip's implementation. Audials "lifetime" applies to that major version only — a new annual release requires repurchase.
