About Founder

The person and idea behind ActionClip.

ActionClip is built around one small belief: selected text should become useful without pulling you out of the app you are already using.

Serial founder. Building since 2015.

I build small, focused tools that solve very specific problems. ActionClip came from a repeated frustration: everyday text actions should appear exactly where the text is, without switching apps.

I currently run multiple profitable tools. Some of my past products have been acquired; others continue to grow quietly.

GoPublish - Google Docs to WordPress publishing
Alt Magic - AI-powered alt text for SEO and accessibility
Say It So - Audio comments in Google Docs

I work with small teams that move fast. I believe simple products, clear UX, and narrow use-cases beat bloated platforms.

About ActionClip

ActionClip turns selected text into useful actions on Mac. Copy, rewrite, translate, convert, run ChatGPT prompts, paste commands, open links, create notes, and run custom workflows from one compact floating menu.

What it does

It keeps common text work next to your selection, so quick fixes and repeated workflows do not turn into app switching.

How it works

Select text anywhere on Mac.
ActionClip appears beside the selection.
Run the action or paste the result back.

Local-first

No account required. Selected text stays on your Mac unless you explicitly run an online action.

Compact by default

The widget stays small, fast, and attached to the selected-text context.

Power when needed

Built-in actions cover daily use, and custom actions handle repeated personal workflows.
