Keep the sound. Leave the video untouched. Isolate turns one video you choose into the audio clip you need. Select a video from Apple’s private Photos picker or Files, listen to the sound, set exact start and end times, and export M4A, WAV, or MP3. A FOCUSED AUDIO WORKFLOW • Choose one video from Photos or Files • Preview its sound with native playback controls • Set precise trim times or keep the full audio • Name the output and choose M4A, WAV, or MP3 • Share or save the finished audio with Apple’s system tools • On Mac, choose a save location directly SHARE VIDEOS INTO ISOLATE Send an actual video file to Isolate from another app. It is copied into a private inbox until you choose it, while your current edit stays safe. If another app shares only a web link, save the video with that app first—Isolate does not download videos from social-media links. THREE USEFUL FORMATS M4A keeps files compact with excellent quality. WAV provides uncompressed audio for editing. MP3 works with a wide range of players and services. TRY EXPORTING FREE Importing, listening, trimming, and naming stay free. When you are ready to export, start a free seven-day trial through the App Store. The trial is a free non-consumable: it never renews, converts, or charges automatically. After seven days, Isolate Lifetime Unlock is a separate one-time purchase that permanently unlocks exporting. There is no subscription. Eligible purchases support Apple’s Family Sharing. Prices are shown using the App Store’s localized value. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your video and audio stay on your device. Isolate has no accounts, advertising, analytics, tracking, or media uploads. The Photos picker grants access only to the video you select. Original videos are never changed or deleted. Isolate is built natively for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Choose a video. Keep the sound.
