Auto Recap: Cutwave automatically finds your montages. Start the search from the home screen — Cutwave scans your on-device photo library and suggests ready-to-use montages, music included. • Your trips and days, organized by date and location • Your albums, favorites, seasons, locations, "A Year Ago," and your iPhone's smart collections: Selfies, Portrait, Bursts… • A '+' button to search for a theme: beaches, mountains, snow, forests, cities, lakes, golden hour, portraits, food • Each suggestion has a theme, never just a date — and the created montage takes on this name • Each re-run provides a new selection, in a different order • The intro screen adapts to the theme instead of always being the same • Screenshots, scans, QR codes, and images received via messaging are excluded: they're not considered memories Nothing leaves your iPhone. Photo access is requested only when you start a search, never when the app opens. Also: Analytics consent is now clearer, and no data is collected before you respond, plus several stability fixes.

What editing styles does Cutwave offer?
Cutwave provides ten distinct editing moods, each with its own 'grammar' of camera moves and transition styles. These range from sharp, beat-driven cuts to smoother, more flowing sequences, allowing for diverse creative expression.
