## What is OffTheReel?

Shoot 1-second cuts on the beat of a song. When your vlog is full, tap "Make video" once. That's the whole edit.

Everyone loves 1-second vlogs, and almost everyone gives up at the editing. OffTheReel finishes the edit the moment you shoot.

■ Shoot on the beat
Pick a song and the app listens for its tempo. Every press of the shutter records exactly that many beats, so every cut changes on the beat. Add the same song when you post and it lines up. You can shoot without a song too. Lenses from .5 to 3x, and turn the phone sideways for a landscape vlog.

■ One cut a day, without opening the app
Put the "One cut" button on the Lock Screen, in Control Center or on the Action button and shoot without unlocking. Your cuts go in when you unlock. Not working on a vlog? Save 1.2-second cuts anyway and turn them into one later. Today's progress sits on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island.

■ Front and back at once
One press records the selfie camera and the back camera together. Keep the selfie as a small inset, split the frame top and bottom, or save them as two cuts.

■ Templates (optional)
24-Day Challenge, Trip in 12 cuts, 7 Cuts a Week, 4 Seasons, 12 Cuts Today. Day-by-day templates add DAY numbers, and a missed day becomes a rest day.

■ Make the video on your phone
An opening title, a time stamp and a short note on each cut, the neighborhood you were in. Text cards, broadcast-style text, four color looks, effects on just people or just the background, and subtle beat effects that move with the song. Everything is made on your phone and never uploaded.

■ Sized for Reels
Text and the selfie inset stay clear of what Reels, Shorts and TikTok cover. Save to Photos and jump straight into Reels.

■ Look back
A month recap made from one cut per day, with an option where each day's cut drops into its calendar cell. Your activity grid and calendar as story-size images.

■ Your library counts too
Pick Live Photos and videos you've already taken. The app finds their steadiest moment and turns it into a cut.

■ Never forget
A daily reminder at your time, or hourly with Today mode. Tap the notification and you're ready to shoot. Home Screen, Lock Screen and monthly calendar widgets.

Song previews come from Apple Music and are only used to find the tempo. Songs are never put into your video. Add the sound in Reels.
Original cuts are also saved to an album in Photos.
English, Japanese and Korean.
No account. No server. No watermark. Free.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.4.0 — 2026-10-05

Daily shooting just got easier.

· English and Japanese. Pick a language in Settings › Help › Language.
· Saved cuts: shoot a 1.2-second cut without a vlog. Later, make a new vlog from them or pull them into the empty slots of a vlog you're shooting.
· One cut, still locked: shoot from the Lock Screen or Control Center without unlocking. Cuts go in when you unlock.
· Live Activity: on 24-Day Challenge, 7 Cuts a Week and Today mode days, today's progress shows on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island.
· Beat effects: Breathe, Glow and Side pan. They rest at every cut change, so nothing jumps.
· Text cards: move them after any cut (or drag them there) and pick from four text sizes. Broadcast text styles now show a sample of each.

### 1.3.0 — 2026-10-04

모은 걸 보고, 꾸미고, 고쳤어요.

· 새 브이로그를 세 걸음으로: 템플릿 → 노래 → 확인. 둘째부터는 「지난번처럼 바로」.
· 템플릿(선택): 24일 챌린지 · 여행 12컷 · 한 주 7컷 · 계절 4컷 · 오늘 하루 12컷. 하루 한 칸이면 DAY 번호가 붙고, 놓친 날은 「쉬어 간 날」로.
· 한 달 모음: 그 달 하루 한 컷씩 모아 한 편. 「달력으로」를 고르면 그날 컷이 달력 칸으로 하나씩 들어가요.
· 잔디 · 달력을 스토리 크기 이미지로. 1월부터 차오르는 잔디 영상(6초)도.
· 글자 컷: 영상 사이에 색 · 사진 배경과 글자만 있는 컷을 넣어요. 박마다 한 낱말씩.
· 방송 글자: 예능 · 뉴스 · 다큐 · 브이로그처럼 네 귀퉁이와 아래 띠에 글자를.
· 노래 고르기에 지금 많이 듣는 노래와 박자. 주변에 흐르는 노래로 박자를 잡을 수도 있어요.
· 컷을 비울 때 뒤를 당길지, 자리를 남길지 골라요. 비운 뒤 새로 찍히지 않던 문제를 고쳤어요.
· 아침 한 컷 알림(처음엔 꺼져 있어요), 「한 컷」 단추 새 아이콘, 폰이 뜨거우면 한쪽 카메라로 계속 찍기.
