Startell Media is a camera coach for people who want to become creators. Every day you get one short drill. You film it, and the app tells you how you came across: how fast you got to your first word, eye contact, energy, pace, "um"s, long pauses, a warm opening and your framing. Then it gives you one thing to fix tomorrow. 28 DAYS TO OWN THE CAMERA Four weeks, one skill each: presence, hooks, story and personality. Drills take 30 to 60 seconds and are written around your topic: fitness, food, beauty, travel, tech, fashion, sports, business, home or pets. Your first take is kept, so on day 28 you can watch day 1 right next to it. STAR SCORE Eight signals, all measured on your phone. Speech is turned into text on the device (the speech model downloads once, about 57 MB), so your takes are never uploaded anywhere. The score is about how you come across on camera. It does not promise views. YOUR COACH, ON YOUR IPHONE On iPhones with Apple Intelligence, the coach also writes a short note about each take: one thing to fix that refers to what you actually said, and a stronger first line built from your own words. It runs on the phone. On other iPhones you get the built-in tip. CREATOR DNA Answer five questions and get a short creator identity, three content pillars, a series idea and a bio you can copy. FROM IDEA TO POSTED - Your path: six stages, from finding your thing to your first paid brand deal. The home screen always shows the next step. - Three new video ideas every day, built from your content pillars, and a hook library with 32 first lines and why each one works. - Write the script (hook, three beats, the ask), then film it with a teleprompter that scrolls right under the lens. - Captions are made on your phone and burned into the video. Post text and hashtags are ready for TikTok, Instagram and YouTube Shorts. - Pick your posting days, get a note on the day, and keep a posting streak. FILM, COLLAB, LEARN - Ghost directs real videos shot by shot and joins them into one vertical clip. - Circles: friends each film a second or two wherever they are, and the app joins everyone's shots into one reel you can post as a collab. - Formula reads the numbers from your insights screenshots on the phone. Once you have six posts it shows which openings and lengths get you more views, and says so plainly when there isn't enough data yet. EARN What to charge, a deal tracker that reminds you when a payment is late, a contract checklist (not legal advice) and a one-page media kit PDF. REMINDERS THAT RESPECT YOU One drill reminder a day at the time you choose, an evening note only if you haven't trained yet, a note on the days you plan to post, and a Sunday summary. Never more than three a day, nothing between 22:00 and 08:00, and each one can be switched off. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account and no ads. Your videos, your words and your contracts stay on your phone. Anonymous counts, such as a score band and whether a tip helped, make the tips better for every creator; you can switch them off in You. PLANS Your first drill, its Star Score and its ready-to-post video are free. To keep training, start 7 days free on Creator or Pro. Nothing is charged during the free week. Creator ($19.99/month after the trial): all 28 days with Star Score, videos without the Startell title, Creator DNA, Day 1 vs Day 28, Ghost, Formula and Circles. Pro ($99.99/month after the trial): adds the deal tracker, contract check and media kit. Payment is charged to your Apple ID when the free trial ends unless you cancel at least 24 hours before. Subscriptions renew automatically each month unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel in your App Store account settings.
