Clippy is more than just an app; it's a time machine that takes you back to the golden era of Windows. With its great graphics and attention to detail, Clippy brings back all those fond memories of using Windows XP. Remember the joy of having Clippy follow you around on your screen?

But Clippy isn't the only character making a comeback. The app also features other beloved Office Assistants like Bonzi Buddy, the Wizard, and Einstein. It's like having a reunion of all your favorite desktop assistants right at your fingertips!
One of the standout features of the Clippy app is its attention to detail. Unlike other similar apps, Clippy doesn't just display a static image of the character.

And don't worry, if you prefer a silent companion, you can easily mute the sounds.
While Clippy brings back a flood of memories, the app doesn't stop there. It constantly evolves to provide you with new actions and features. The developers are actively working on updates to expand the app's offerings. Soon, you can expect new voices, speech bubbles, additional characters, and even longer animations. The possibilities are endless!
However, some users have expressed their desire for more flexibility. They would like to see an increase in the limit of characters that can be displayed on the screen. Additionally, a setting to control whether the app starts when the device reboots would be a welcome addition.
