Read full descriptionHide full description
BoldEdit is a complete video editor that runs entirely on your iPhone. Drop in a long talking-head video and get back clean, captioned, ready-to-post clips ā no uploads, no account, no waiting on a server. THREE WAYS TO EDIT ⢠Auto Edit ā transcription, silence detection, auto-trim, captions and style in one pass. ⢠Auto Clips ā find the best moments in a long video and split them into several short Story/Reels clips. Each one opens as its own editable project. ⢠Manual Edit ā transcript and captions only. Every segment stays on; you decide what to cut. CUT THE DEAD AIR Silences and filler words ("um", "uh") are detected and shown right on your timeline. Keep them or delete them ā one tap. Choose how aggressive the detection is, and add your own filler words. EDIT VIDEO LIKE TEXT Every word is transcribed on your device. Hide a sentence, reorder it, or fix the wording ā the timeline follows. Editing video becomes editing a document. CAPTIONS THAT KEEP UP Word-level captions with karaoke highlighting, burned into your export. Position, font, size, color and background are yours to set. Timing is refined on-device with a forced-alignment model. TRANSLATE YOUR CAPTIONS Translate captions into another language, on-device. Your original transcript stays intact ā switch between original and translated any time. TEACH IT YOUR WORDS Add your names, brands and jargon to a custom vocabulary ā globally or per project ā so the transcriber spells them right. STUDIO SOUND Noise reduction, level balancing and speech clarity, all offline. Music ducks automatically under your voice. Fades and per-track volume included. MORE IN THE BOX ⢠Picture-in-picture video, image and logo overlays ⢠Separate audio tracks for voiceover, SFX and music ⢠Merge several videos into one ⢠Style presets ā save a look, reuse it on every video ⢠Royalty-free music library, or import your own ⢠Transitions, speed, reverse, split and trim ⢠9:16, 1:1, 16:9 or original 100% ON YOUR DEVICE Transcription, cuts, captions and translation all run on your iPhone.

Marklab
Read full descriptionHide full description
Marklab puts your mark on your work and keeps your private data out of it. Add a text or logo watermark to photos, PDFs and videos, stamp a whole set of photos in one pass, and strip the hidden location and device data your camera leaves inside every shot. Everything happens on your iPhone. Nothing is uploaded, no account is needed, and the app works in airplane mode. BATCH WATERMARKING Select a whole shoot, set the watermark once, and let Marklab stamp every photo. Progress is shown as it goes and you can stop at any point. Share the finished set in one step. WATERMARK ANYTHING ⢠Photos - JPG, PNG and HEIC ⢠PDFs - every page, or only the pages you choose ⢠Videos - MP4 and MOV, with the mark burned into the clip FULL CONTROL Text or your own logo. Adjust opacity, size, rotation and spacing. Choose one of nine positions or tile the mark across the whole frame. A live preview shows exactly what you will get, because the preview and the export use the same renderer. SAVED PRESETS Keep the settings you use often and apply them again with a single tap. No more rebuilding the same watermark for every job. HIDDEN DATA Photos carry more than they show. Most of them store the exact spot where they were taken, the time, and the phone that took them. Marklab lists what a photo is carrying and removes it, leaving the picture itself untouched. BUILT FOR PRIVACY No servers, no accounts, no tracking, no ads. Your files never leave the device, which is also why the app keeps working with no connection. MARKLAB PRO Free: watermark a single photo, and clean hidden data from any photo. Pro unlocks: ⢠Batch watermarking ⢠PDF watermarking ⢠Video watermarking ⢠Saved presets Pro is available as a yearly subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period, and can be managed in your account settings.
