Recommended
The researched list plus accounts found in the data: who posted the originals, who gets credited in clips, and vidIQ's big finds. Anything you follow clears off and the next one moves up.

Your niches
Tick the kinds of clips you want. You follow every account in those niches (see the Accounts tab), and accounts added to them later join your list too. Unticking a niche only takes its accounts off your list.

Schedule
Each platform's own schedule
Leave a platform on "Same as above", or give it its own times (e.g. Facebook every 2 hours, Instagram every hour). "Next open slot" then fills each platform's own schedule.
Every post
YouTube
Vertical clips under 3 minutes post as Shorts automatically. Apps can't set custom thumbnails on Shorts, or anything about monetization (ads, ad breaks, the ad-suitability questions, copyright checks): do those in YouTube Studio before you publish.
Kalshi sponsorship
Used when you tick "Add Kalshi odds" on a video: your name and handle go on the odds card, and this line is added to the end of every caption.
Thumbnail caption style
How the caption looks on your thumbnails (your video's first frame plus the caption). Everyone has their own style. The preview matches exactly what gets made.
Your voice (captions)
The caption writer reads this before every title and description: how you sound, your habits, and your best real posts. Edit it and click Save; new captions use it. To redo a video that's already written, click "Rewrite all captions" on its card.
Keys and credits
Your own accounts for the paid services. Each key is saved on the server and only its last 4 characters are shown.
Claude (AI)
Original searches and captions run on your own Claude account once you add a key (until then, on the server's). Paste your API key from console.anthropic.com (it starts with sk-ant-). It's saved on the server and only its last 4 characters are ever shown. If it stops working or runs out of credit, those jobs pause (nothing is lost) until a working key is saved here.
ScrapeCreators (Instagram)
Instagram accounts on your list are checked through ScrapeCreators (1 credit per check, no burner login). Paste the API key from app.scrapecreators.com; only its last 4 characters are ever shown. Each Instagram account is checked once for everyone who follows it, paid by whoever has the most credits left. Busy accounts are checked often, quiet ones every few hours, none from midnight to 6 AM. If your credits run out, only your Instagram accounts pause.
vidIQ
Paste the API key from your vidIQ account (vidIQ › Account settings › MCP); only its last 4 characters are ever shown. Remove it here, or revoke it on vidIQ, any time.
Daily sweep
Once a day (after 7 AM Eastern) Clip Commando asks vidIQ for this week's breakout YouTube videos on each topic, plus the newest uploads from each channel. Each lookup costs 5 of your vidIQ credits, and it stops at the monthly cap below. Finds show up in the Queue under vidIQ finds. Instagram and TikTok finds download inside the app; YouTube finds open on YouTube.
App
Editing
Your own branding for videos made in the app. Your logo stays on the video the whole time; your CTA (a "Follow" card) comes in near the end. Use PNGs with a transparent background. Leave either one empty to use the built-in one.
People
Everyone shares the scanned accounts; each person follows their own, and has their own clips, codes, captions, voice, keys and posting accounts. Use "view as" at the top to see the app as someone.
| Name | Username | Codes | Following | Clips | Password |

Add a person
They start following nothing: they pick accounts on the Accounts tab (or from the recommended list), connect their own posting accounts, and add their own Claude and vidIQ keys. Until they add a Claude key, their AI runs on the server's key.

How the score works
Every scan records each post's views, so speed is measured, not guessed. The score (0-100) blends:
- Speed (35%): views gained per hour since the last scan. 100k an hour is full marks.
- Lift (30%): that speed against the account's normal. 4x its usual pace scores high even for a small account.
- Engagement (15%): likes, comments and shares per view, against the account's usual.
- Freshness (12%): runway left. The same speed at hour 1 beats hour 30.
- Trend (8%): speeding up or slowing down since the scan before.
Every snapshot is kept, so the weights can be tuned against what posts actually went on to do.
Finding the original
Accepting a clip puts the queue video itself in Content, ready to use. Most of the time that's all you need. When you want a cleaner or longer copy, press Search for original on that clip, and Use this on what it finds to swap it in. Nothing is searched (or paid for) unless you ask.
The video you react to is usually the original the watched account reposted. The finder looks where originals actually live, cheapest first: a news outlet or official account's own post is used as is; then the same video earlier in our own feed; then it reads the clip (who's speaking, the quotes, watermarks) and searches X, TikTok, Instagram and YouTube for it, including accounts we don't follow. If there's no first upload to be found, it picks the best clean copy. About 1-5 cents a clip. Search deeper adds a full web search (about 20-50 cents), only when you click it.
