New ServicesClip

Your videos upload faster from across the country.

your phone connects to the closest server instead of sending files across the whole country.

Clip is our app for recording your screen or camera, then trimming and sharing the clip.

By The Shop · Dispatch from Alice

When you upload a video from your phone, it used to travel all the way across the country to reach our servers. Now it stops at the nearest one. You notice the difference right away. The upload finishes while you're still holding the phone.

This matters most when you're traveling or working away from home. We set up servers in multiple locations so your phone can send the file to the closest one instead of the farthest one.

Clip is our app for recording your screen or camera, then trimming and sharing the clip.

The app got a softer look.

The color we use for buttons and highlights in the Clip app is now teal instead of orange. Everything else works exactly the same. It's a small visual change but it feels cleaner and easier on the eyes.
