What would you like to know about ClipBell?

What is ClipBell?

ClipBell is a browser extension for Chrome, Edge and Brave that gives you new video alerts for topics you care about. Made in India by Tanishkha, it searches the web once or twice a day and collects new results in one list on your computer.

Is ClipBell free?

Yes. The Free plan includes up to 3 topics, the newest 20 videos per topic, silent alerts and one PIN. Pro adds unlimited topics, full history, more alert choices and additional features.

What does ClipBell Pro include?

Pro includes unlimited topics, a master PIN for personal topics, popup and daily digest alerts, all filters and related videos. Pro is ₹99 + GST / month in India or $2.99/month outside India. Yearly Pro is ₹990 + GST or $29.90 (2 months free), and the one-time Founder lifetime plan is ₹2,999 + GST or $69, limited to the first 1,000 users. Indian buyers pay 18% GST on top. No GST outside India.

Do I need an account?

No. ClipBell needs no account and no sign-up. A Pro licence key is checked without sending any of your topics.

Does ClipBell see my topics?

No. Your topics, results and history stay in your browser on your computer. We never see, collect or sell them, and there is no tracking, analytics on your topics or advertising.

How often does ClipBell check for new videos?

ClipBell searches the web once or twice a day. Priority topics are checked twice a day.

Why didn't I get an alert straight away?

ClipBell checks on a daily schedule, so a newly released video may appear at the next check. Your alert mode and quiet hours also affect how you hear about it, and ClipBell catches up when you reopen a closed browser.

What does “Not sure” mean?

“Not sure” means ClipBell cannot confidently label a result as free to watch or subscription. Open the linked site to check its current viewing requirements.

How are duplicate videos handled?

Copies of the same video across different sites are grouped into one card. This keeps your list easier to scan without repeating the same video as separate results.

Can I filter by video quality or length?

Yes. Pro includes filters for video quality, such as 1080p or higher, and length, such as trailer, episode or full movie. You can also filter by date or a custom date range and choose the sort order.

Does ClipBell download videos?

No. ClipBell only links to videos on third-party sites. It does not host, download or copy the videos.

Which browsers are supported?

ClipBell supports Chrome, Edge and Brave on your computer. Phone support is not available yet.

Does ClipBell work when the browser is closed?

ClipBell catches up when you reopen your browser. You should not expect checks or alerts while the browser is closed.

What is the master PIN?

The master PIN is a Pro feature for personal topics you want to keep to yourself. ClipBell also offers PIN locking, auto-lock and a quick-lock keyboard shortcut.

I forgot my PIN. What should I do?

Email support@clipbell.com for guidance for your installed version before resetting ClipBell or clearing browser storage. Your topics, results and history are stored only in that browser; support does not have a remote copy.

How do I cancel Pro?

You can cancel any time by emailing support@clipbell.com. The Refund & Cancellation Policy explains cancellation and refund terms.

How do refunds work?

Your first Pro purchase is eligible for a full refund within 7 days. Lifetime purchases have a 14-day refund window. Later renewal periods are not refundable except where the law requires. Approved refunds are submitted to the original payment method within 5–7 business days; your bank or payment provider may take longer to credit them. See the Refund & Cancellation Policy for details.

Does ClipBell work in my country?

ClipBell shows a region tag to help you see whether a video opens in your region. Availability depends on the linked site and the video, so a result may not be available in every country.

Can I use ClipBell on my phone?

Not yet. ClipBell is a browser extension for Chrome, Edge and Brave on your computer.

Is my ClipBell data backed up?

Your ClipBell data is stored locally in your browser, and ClipBell does not provide a remote backup service. Clearing browser storage can remove local data, so contact support before clearing it if you need help.

How do I contact support?

Email support@clipbell.com or use the Contact page form to prepare an email in your email app. We aim to respond within 2 business days. ClipBell is made by Tanishkha in Kanyakumari, Tamil Nadu, India.

What topics can I follow?

You can follow topics such as movies, trailers, celebrity interviews, cricket and other sports, tech launches, podcasts, shows, news, music and education. A clear topic helps ClipBell find videos that match your interests.

What do “Free to watch” and “Subscription” mean?

“Free to watch” labels results identified as free to view. “Subscription” labels results that require a subscription and shows the streaming platform name. The linked site sets its own current access requirements.

Does ClipBell Pro include streaming subscriptions?

No. ClipBell Pro pays for the extension's Pro features. A video marked “Subscription” opens on a separate platform, where that platform's own access requirements apply.

Can I choose how each topic alerts me?

Yes. Free includes silent alerts, with a small count on the ClipBell icon when new videos collect in your list. Pro adds popup and daily digest alerts. ClipBell also has quiet hours and a sound toggle.

Can I block sites or leave out unwanted videos?

Yes. ClipBell lets you block sites, exclude words such as “reaction” or “shorts”, and put trusted sources first. Pro includes all filters.

How can I organise the videos I find?

You can mark videos as seen, save them to watch later, add favourites and organise them in folders. History helps you revisit previous results, and Pro includes one-tap access to related videos.

Can I change how ClipBell looks?

Yes. Choose list, compact text or grid view, with thumbnails on or off. You can also personalise the toolbar icon and its name.

Does ClipBell’s optional AI send my topics to ClipBell?

No. Optional on-device AI improves matching on your computer without sending data to ClipBell. This option is available only when your browser supports it.

Can ClipBell be an alternative to YouTube video notifications?

ClipBell offers another way to follow videos: topic-based alerts for publicly available videos across the web. It gives you one place to check for a movie, team or tech launch, but it does not guarantee coverage of every video on any platform.
