Introducing Raclip · Q2 2026

Raclip. A small, pocketable box that remembers every spoken encounter.

Raclip is a three-button hardware recorder, tuned to capture multiple voices at up to 25 meters — even through a wall. Clip it, pocket it, set it on the desk between you. Recordings come back as plain audio — REST API, SDKs, or web console. Whatever you fancy.

Offline-first
It works offline. Yes — you read that right. Record anywhere; Raclip syncs the moment it sees a Wi-Fi you've saved.
Buttons
Three. That's it.

01 / How it works

Three buttons. One status LED.
Zero learning curve.

→ Button one

Turn on.

Press On/Off. The LED breathes blue. Raclip is ready.

→ Button two

Record the encounter.

Press Start/Stop to begin. Press again to pause and resume — same encounter, no new file.

→ Button three

Send the encounter.

Press Send. The encounter is packaged as one audio file. Offline? It queues — and uploads the moment Raclip reconnects to a Wi-Fi you've saved. Fetch from the API, SDK, or console.

02 / Developers

REST API. SDKs. Web console.
Whatever you fancy.

raclip · python 3.10+
# pip install raclip
from raclip import Client

# reads RACLIP_API_KEY from the environment
with Client() as client:
    # list devices in your org
    devices = client.devices.list()
    print(f"{devices.total} devices")

    # grab the most recent call from a device
    device_id = devices.devices[0].device_id
    call = client.calls.latest(device_id)

    print(call.call_id, call.duration_seconds, "sec")

    # stream the audio to disk (handles signed-URL redirect)
    client.calls.download(device_id, call.call_id, dest="recording.mp3")

Typed SDKs. Plain HTTP.

Official SDKs for Python and Node.js — thin, typed wrappers around the REST API. Every method maps to a documented endpoint. Zero runtime dependencies. Auth is one env var.

Set RACLIP_API_KEY and you're done. The gateway derives your org from the key — you never send it on the wire.

03 / Hardware-as-API

We handle the hardware.
You handle your stack.

We provide a Hardware Layer API. The audio lands as a plain file over REST. Fancy as you will.

Pipe it into your transcriber, your summarizer, your diarizer, your agent, your warehouse — whatever your stack already does. Bring your own model. We don't care what's downstream; we just hand you clean recordings.

04 / Vertical-agnostic

Anywhere a spoken encounter is worth keeping.

→ 01 · Healthcare

Clinic visits & intake.

Sit Raclip on the desk between you and the patient. Press start, listen properly, press send. Charts and intake forms write themselves on the way home.

→ 02 · Legal

Depositions & consults.

One device. One QR code. A clean chain-of-custody from the conference room to your evidence locker — no per-seat license, no cloud you didn't pick.

→ 03 · Field services

Site walkthroughs.

Survives a job-site pocket. Records under a hard hat. Uploads when the truck rolls back into Wi-Fi range.

→ 04 · Anything else

Interviews, lectures, voice notes.

Press to start. Press to send. Treat it like a tape deck with an API. Nobody has to install anything.

06 / FAQ

Common questions. Straight answers.

Does it need Wi-Fi to record?+

No. Records to microSD on its own. Hits the API the moment it finds your Wi-Fi. Nothing for you to do.

How far does the mic reach?+

25 meters. Through a wall. Nobody needs to aim at it. We handled the array — you handle the data.

How do I access recordings?+

REST API, SDKs (pip install raclip · npm i @raclip/sdk), or the web console. All three return the same call object: metadata plus a signed download URL. Pick your layer.

What format is the audio?+

Plain MP3, signed URL. No container, no lock-in. Pipe it into whatever transcriber or storage you already run.

Do I need a phone or app?+

No. Three buttons: On, Start, Send. Nothing else needs to be in the room.

How does pairing work?+

Scan the QR on the lid. One step, links to your org. Printable replacements if the sticker ever goes missing.

What storage does it use?+

Your microSD — any size. You own the raw files. Raclip moves them through the API when Wi-Fi is available.
