Clippy 3.0: clip many pages and import them together with the clip box
MockFlow Clippy now collects clips from page after page in a clip box. Open any board, tick the clips you want, pick what each becomes and import them together.
MockFlow Clippy, the Chrome extension that saves web pages onto your board, now works the way research actually happens: across many pages, over a whole browsing session. Clippy 3.0 adds the clip box. Every page you clip waits in the box until you are ready, and you then import them together into the board you choose.
The clip box appears on the dashboard and inside the board editor, so your clips are always one click away from the board you are working on.
Clip ten pages, import once
You can clip page after page as you browse, up to ten clips in the box, and decide later where they go and what they become.
Clip at your own pace. Clip a pricing page, a signup form and a brand palette from three different sites without leaving them to open MockFlow.
Decide at import time. In the clip box, tick the clips to bring in and pick what each one becomes: an image, a video, a bookmark, a doc, a color palette, an editable wireframe, a prototype, a moodboard or an AI board.
Land them together. The ticked clips arrive on the open board in one import, in the order you chose, and leave the box.
Your clips stay private until you import. Clips are kept in your own browser, not uploaded, until you bring them into a board.
Better screen recordings
Video clips are more dependable in Clippy 3.0. The recording bar now shows the elapsed time against the limit and turns amber shortly before it, the recording stops cleanly however you end it (the Stop button, Chrome's own sharing bar or the time limit), and Clippy brings you back to the tab to watch the clip before you keep it. Thumbnails are taken from the live recording, so a clip never shows a blank first frame on the board.
Ways to use the clip box
Competitor research: clip the pricing, signup and onboarding pages of the products you are compared with. Import them side by side into one board, as full page images to mark up or as editable wireframes to redesign.
Design inspiration: collect the palettes, layouts and details you keep coming back to across a week of browsing, then import them together as a moodboard for the next project.
References for a client: gather the sites your client mentioned, the brand pages they admire and a recording of the flow they want to change. Bring everything into the client's board in one step, ready for the kickoff call.
Reading for a meeting: clip a long report or documentation page as an AI board and import it as a mind map, kanban or summary next to the other material.
