Tape Eater turns ordinary videos into glitchy, broken-tape looks — on purpose. This is a video effects app, not a music player: it warps video. What it does • Open your camera or a video from Photos • Push, smear, and scramble the picture until it looks like damaged VHS or a crashing file • Save a silent clip or a still — everything stays on your device Why it’s different • Built for melting video as the main toy, not a tiny filter buried in an editor • Deep live controls if you want to dig in — or tap presets and go • Includes Silt mode: a second thermal / smear look in the same app • No account. No cloud. No ads. You don’t need to know video jargon. Open a clip, mess it up, save it.
