Captions that land on the word — not near it. Handcut transcribes your video on your iPhone and times every caption to the word, so a pause reads as a pause and an emphasis lands where you put it. No upload. No render queue. No account. Nothing to sign up for. Built for people who talk to camera: coaches, course creators, realtors, podcasters, sellers cutting product video. If your video is you, saying something, this is the editor for it. WORD-BY-WORD CAPTIONS, DONE ON YOUR PHONE • Real per-word timing read from the audio, not guessed by dividing a sentence • Karaoke highlighting that follows the actual speech — the default look • On-device transcription — the app has no networking code to send audio with • Edit any word, restyle the whole set, move them anywhere on the frame PICTURE-IN-PICTURE, INCLUDED Screen recording plus a facecam bubble plus captions is the format this audience actually ships. It works on the free tier. Drag the bubble, pinch to size it, put it where it belongs. A REAL EDITOR UNDERNEATH • Multi-clip timeline with pinch-zoom, trim handles and drag-to-reorder • 18 film looks (11 free, 7 Pro) and 14 GPU transitions (4 free, 10 Pro) • 8 caption and text styles (3 free, 5 Pro) and Pro text animations (3) • Speed from 0.25× to 4×, with the trim preserved • Text, emoji and your own images — placed, scaled and rotated on the video • Mirror, crop and reframe for any aspect: vertical, square, widescreen • Frame rate follows your footage, up to 60fps • Music and voiceover tracks with a proper mixer • Manual keyframe animation — free on every plan WHAT COSTS NOTHING Unlimited projects. Unlimited exports. Unlimited length. 4K export, manual keyframes, picture-in-picture, auto-captions, most looks and transitions, text and stickers — and no watermark, on any tier, ever. We do not brand your video. Resolution is not the paywall here. WHAT PRO ADDS Intelligence and automation — not resolution: transcript editing (delete words to cut video), motion tracking, Smart Cutout, Auto-Reframe, emphasis motion, basic denoise, Auto Match Look, version history, adjustment layers, plus the premium looks / transitions / caption styles / text animations. Green screen and 3+ video tracks stay free forever. WHY IT FEELS FAST The app makes no network requests, so there is no service to be down and no queue to wait in behind other people's videos. Your footage, your captions and your export all happen on the silicon in your hand. That is also why it is private — but the point is that it is quick. Handcut asks for no account, collects no analytics, and shows no ads.
