"Remove Ads" is a one-time purchase that removes all ads forever (no subscription). โ Story โ I film my workouts every day and wanted to compress them into 60-second timelapses for Instagram. I used to airdrop every clip to my Mac just to make a timelapse in iMovie โ the back-and-forth was a hassle. I couldn't find a tool that felt right, so I vibe-coded one myself. Hope it helps if you're in the same boat. โ Feedback โ Tap Settings โ Report a Problem inside the app to write to me directly. I'll do my best to reply.
