PEEKCUT: AI HIGHLIGHT REELS — 100% PRIVATE & OFFLINE Stop scrubbing through hours of footage to find the good parts. PeekCut is the AI-powered highlight-reel maker that turns your long videos into share-ready clips—all directly on your device. No cloud, no uploads, no accounts. THE PROBLEM SOLVER Most "AI editors" force you to upload your private videos to the cloud for processing. PeekCut does the opposite: our intelligence runs 100% locally on your phone. Your footage never leaves your device, ensuring total privacy. CORE FEATURES • Smart Auto-Highlights: Our AI analyzes audio loudness, spoken keywords, and on-screen motion to surface the moments that actually matter—across the entire recording, not just the first few minutes. • Hit Your Target Length: Set the reel length you want and PeekCut fills it accurately. Moment selection accounts for trim padding and transitions, so an 18-minute target delivers an 18-minute reel. • Total Control: Tune your results with Signal balance sliders (loud vs. keyword vs. motion), adjust sensitivity, set target lengths, and manually trim or pin your favorite moments. • Responsive Trim: Add a few seconds of breathing room to every clip and watch the reel update instantly—PeekCut automatically rebalances how many moments fit your target. • Seamless Stitching: Moments that overlap after trimming are merged into one continuous shot—no duplicate footage, no awkward cut in the middle of a sentence. • Multilingual Transcription: Supports ~99 languages. Keyword highlighting works from the actual words spoken—not a fixed English list. • Two-Tap Export: Save individual highlights or stitch them into one polished reel with smooth cross-dissolve transitions, ready for your photo library. WHY PEEKCUT? • Truly Private: 100% offline. No servers, no data harvesting. • Fast & Effortless: Import, analyze, review, and export in just a few taps. • Predictable Results: What you see in Review is what you get in your photo library—including the final reel length. • No Subscription Fatigue: We believe in ownership. Pay once, own it forever. PEEKCUT PRO PeekCut is free to use with all features enabled. Free exports carry a small "PeekCut" watermark. Upgrade to PeekCut Pro for a one-time purchase of $9.99 to: • Remove the watermark from all future exports. • Support the development of privacy-first, on-device AI tools. Because our AI runs locally on your phone, we don't have recurring server costs—so we pass those savings to you. Pay once, unlock everything, and keep your footage private forever. IDEAL FOR Content creators, social-media posters, coaches, gamers, event/travel videographers, and anyone sitting on long recordings who wants the highlights without giving up their privacy. Your highlights. On your device. Not in the cloud. Questions or feedback? We'd love to hear from you.

Pick your clips. Get a cut. Quick Cut Pro turns a folder of phone videos into an edited montage in seconds. No timeline to wrangle, no dragging clips around. Choose your footage, choose a length, and it cuts. HOW IT DECIDES Every clip you pick is analysed on your iPhone for sharpness, exposure, motion, faces and near-duplicates. The dull footage and the accidental repeats are left out, and the strongest moments are packed into the length you asked for. Nothing is uploaded and nothing leaves your phone. DON'T LIKE IT? SHUFFLE Shuffle rolls a new edit from the same clips instantly. It reuses the analysis, so there is no waiting - press it until you like what you see. CUT TO THE BEAT Add a track from Files and Quick Cut Pro finds its tempo, then lands the cut points on the beat. A waveform sits under the timeline with the beats marked, so you can see the cuts hit rather than take our word for it. If a track has no clear beat, the app says so and cuts freely instead of snapping to a grid it guessed. FINE CONTROL WHEN YOU WANT IT Tap any shot to open the clip editor: - Trim - drag either end to change how long the shot runs - Slip - drag the middle to keep the length and move to a different moment - Dice - keep the rhythm, jump to a random moment - Swap - put a different clip in this shot's place REFRAMED, NOT SQUASHED Export 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9. The crop follows the interesting part of the frame rather than blindly taking the middle. BRING FOOTAGE FROM ANYWHERE Import from Photos, or from Files for footage that never went into your photo library - camera cards, AirDrop, iCloud Drive. Add more clips at any point, or drop ones you do not want. PROJECTS Every cut is saved automatically the moment your clips land. Come back later and your footage, settings and trims are exactly as you left them. FREE, AND HONEST ABOUT IT The free version exports a real file: 15 seconds, 720p, watermarked. Export is never blocked. Pro is a one-time $2.99 - no subscription - and unlocks full length, full quality from your source, and no watermark. PRIVACY Everything happens on your iPhone. No account, no upload, no tracking, no ads.
