Features

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

Lossless by default

Passthrough export means zero quality loss and zero re-encoding wait. The good frames are copied straight through.

Native Mac app

Swift / SwiftUI, not Electron. It launches instantly, sips memory, and respects your system.

Keyboard-first

I to mark in, O to mark out, Space to play, ⌘E to export. Your hands never leave the keys.

Silence detection

One click auto-finds and marks the quiet sections, so trimming dead air takes seconds.

GIF export

Animated GIF output, optimized small, for quick sharing in chats, PRs and issues.

Audio waveform

See speech and silence at a glance, right on the timeline — no guessing where to cut.

See it move

Smooth playback, tiny exports.

Export

Choose MP4 or GIF. Keep every pixel.

The export sheet tells you exactly what's happening: how many sections you're removing, the output duration, and whether passthrough (lossless) is in play. No re-encode unless it's truly needed — and never without telling you.
