Clippy

About

Clippy is back — and he's watching over you!

This extension resurrects the beloved (and infamous) Microsoft Office animated paperclip assistant from the 1990s and places him as a persistent, cheerful companion in the bottom-right corner of every webpage you visit.

  WHAT IT DOES

Once installed, Clippy automatically appears on every website you browse. He cycles through 46 unique frame-by-frame sprite animations including idle poses, thinking, waving, writing, searching, explaining, and more on a continuous loop. No setup required: install, and Clippy gets to work.

  PRIVACY & PERMISSIONS
  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
  Clippy is 100% local and offline. It:
  ✔ Collects no data whatsoever
  ✔ Makes zero network requests
  ✔ Reads no page content
  ✔ Stores nothing
  ✔ Requires no account or login

The extension only needs permission to inject Clippy's animation onto web pages that's it. All animation assets are bundled directly inside the extension and loaded from your local device.
