ChopShop is the everyday audio and video editor for iPhone and iPad — for the cuts you make 20 times a week but don't want to fire up a full editing suite for. Import a clip from Files or Photos. Trim the edges. Split at the playhead. Drag to reorder. Crop on export. Save. Done. No "create new project" dialog, no media-import wizard. The timeline appears the moment the clip lands. Lossless when it can be If your edit doesn't need re-encoding, ChopShop won't. Same codec, same bitrate, no quality loss — exports finish in seconds, not minutes. The app falls back to a clean re-encode the moment you add a crop or stack mismatched formats, and the status line tells you which path's running before you export. The cuts you actually make • Trim clip edges with a live source preview at the new in/out point • Split at the playhead • Drag to reorder, drop new clips between, collapse gaps with a tap • Retime any clip — 0.5×, 2×, or a custom rate • Reverse any clip, pre-rendered in the background so playback stays fluid • Crop on export with per-edge insets and a lock for uniform crops • Frame-accurate playhead and clip nudges • Audio + video on separate rails — unlink to trim them independently, multi-select across both • Mixed-aspect timelines: each clip displays at its own native ratio • Copy the current frame to the clipboard as PNG Opens what you throw at it MP4, MOV, M4A, MP3, and WAV open instantly. Tiny project file .chop documents are readable, formatted JSON pointing at your source media — kilobytes, not gigabytes. Move them around, email them, sync them in iCloud Drive. Native, fast, no services Pure Swift on AVFoundation. No account, no cloud dependency, no telemetry. Doesn't need an internet connection to open a file.
