Skwish is a video compressor that doesn't waste your time. No accounts. No uploads. No "we're processing your file in the cloud, please wait six minutes" energy. Pick a quality, drop in a clip, and your phone, iPad, or Mac does the squishing — using the dedicated video chips Apple already put in there for exactly this. Why you'll like it • Stupidly fast. Skwish uses Apple Silicon's hardware video engines for compression that is fast and battery friendly. • Three presets: High for keepsakes. Balanced for everyday saving. Small for "I just need to share this quick!". Or hit Custom and dial in your own bitrate, frame rate, max size, and audio if you're feeling fancy. • Stays on your device. Your videos never leave your phone or Mac. No account to create. No server to send anything to. No record kept of what you compressed. No analytics or tracking. • iPhone, iPad, and Mac. One purchase covers all of them. And on the Mac you also get a bundled command-line tool, in case you're the kind of person who likes typing at things (or scripting). • Plays well with everything. Drop files in from anywhere. Share videos straight from Photos via the Share Sheet. Run Skwish from a Shortcut to automate the boring bits. Drag or share the result into Messages, Files, or wherever it needs to go next. Five free compressions to start.
