I used to airdrop every clip to my Mac just to make a timelapse in iMovie — 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. — Feedback — Tap Settings → Report a Problem inside the app to write to me directly. I'll do my best to reply.
