A screencast editor you can talk to.
Record your screen and camera on one clock. Cut the video by deleting words from the transcript. Hand the tedious parts to an agent. Everything runs on your Mac — the recordings never leave it.
Free to use, for as long as you like. A licence removes the watermark from exports. Apple Silicon, macOS 26 or later.
Cut by editing what you said
Every take is transcribed on your machine, by the speech models already in macOS. Select the words you fumbled, press delete, and the video closes the gap. No timeline scrubbing to find the exact frame where a sentence started.
Transcription is free and works offline, because editing by transcript is the editing — putting it behind a subscription would mean an expired card stops you cutting your own video.
Let an agent do the boring half
Director has a command line, so Claude Code or any agent can edit a project while it is open in front of you. Changes appear live, land in the undo history, and each one says why it was made.
# "trim the pauses and cut the bit where I restarted"
director-edit cut remove --take take-01 \
--anchor "So UV is a package manager for Python" \
--words "and project manager" \
--why "trim the definition so the demo starts sooner" Every command that changes the edit has to say what it was for, so the history reads as a record of intentions rather than a list of operations. And ⌘Z still undoes it.
Your recordings stay yours
- Recording, cutting, arranging and transcription all happen on your Mac.
- A project is a folder — your footage, in files you can open with anything else.
- Nothing is uploaded. There is no account to make and nothing to sign in to.
Which matters if you record unreleased work, client projects, or anything with a customer's data on screen.
$150, once
One payment, every future update, every machine you own. No subscription. If it is not for you, reply to the receipt within two weeks and we will refund it.
Until then it is free and stays free — exports simply carry a small mark in the corner.
