Clipped turns long recordings (podcasts, interviews, lectures, livestreams) into short, ready-to-post clips, entirely on your iPhone. No uploads. No account. No monthly credit limits. Because every model runs on-device, Clipped works in airplane mode and never sends your footage anywhere. HOW IT WORKS 1. Import a long video: podcast, interview, lecture, livestream, or vlog. 2. Pick an AI engine on Home: Apple Intelligence, a downloadable model for the best picks, or No AI to choose moments yourself. Apple's on-device Speech engine transcribes the audio in up to 14 languages, depending on your device. 3. The AI reads the whole video, finds the strongest moments and gives every clip a viral score. 4. Style it in the clip studio: 10 caption styles with a live preview, your colors, cinematic looks, a title bar and your @handle. 5. Reframe from 16:9 to 9:16 with face detection and tracking. Pick a layout: a crop that follows the speaker, split-screen, or blur-fill. 6. Polish and plan: trim or extend any clip, remove every pause in one tap, fix caption words, then schedule each post and get a reminder when it's time. 7. Export straight to your Camera Roll, ready to post to TikTok, Reels, or Shorts. NEW IN 3.0 - Clip studio with One word, Neon, Behind speaker and more caption styles, plus looks and title bars - Viral score on every clip, picked from across the whole video - Remove pauses, trim and extend, and caption editing - Posting plan with reminders for every post - Louder, cleaner exports and a layout made for iPhone Duo WHY ON-DEVICE MATTERS - Your footage never leaves your phone. No cloud, no server, nothing to leak. - Works anywhere: airplane mode, no signal, remote shoots, sensitive client footage. - No account required. Open the app and start clipping. - No monthly credit limits. One podcast or fifty, clip as many as you like, every day. PERFECT FOR - Podcasters turning full episodes into shorts - Streamers and YouTubers clipping long VODs and streams - Interviewers, coaches, and course creators repurposing long recordings - Anyone who wants full control over sensitive or unreleased footage HONEST PRICING Clipped is free to use. Every export includes a small watermark until you remove it with a single one-time purchase. That's the whole model: no subscription, no monthly credits, no "Pro" tier, no paywalled features. Most apps in this category charge a monthly subscription or meter you with credits. With Clipped, what you pay never changes, whether you clip once or every single day.
