Step 1
Drop your clips
Add the takes from your phone or a Google Drive folder, plus any reels you like and screenshots to show. Say a line three times if you like; it keeps the best one.
For Mac ยท Reels, TikTok and Shorts
Record the clips.
Claude cuts the reel.
Drop in what you filmed on your phone. ReelEditor picks the best take of every line, cuts the dead air, adds captions, pop-ins, sound and music, and sends a finished vertical video back to your phone.
3-day free trial, no card. For Macs with Apple silicon and a Claude plan. Your videos stay on your Mac.
What it makes
Any kind of reel, edited like a pro.
Talking heads, tutorials, stories, interviews and vlogs: the best takes, a hook title, captions on every word and the right thing popping in.

How it works
Three steps. You do the fun part.
Film on your phone, like you always do. ReelEditor takes it from there.
Step 2
Approve the storyboard
One frame for every spoken line, with what shows on screen. Approve it, or ask for changes in plain words. Nothing renders until you say so.
Step 3
Send it to your phone
The finished video lands on your iPhone by AirDrop or a QR code, with the caption ready to copy. Then post from Instagram or TikTok.
Features
The whole edit, handled.
Everything you would spend an evening on, done before you finish your coffee.
The best take of every line
Said it four times? ReelEditor keeps the cleanest one and drops the rest, in the order of your script.
No dead air, no slips
Pauses, false starts and stumbles are cut out so the pace stays tight, while natural breaths can stay.
Captions that follow every word
Word-synced captions in short phrases, kept off your face and inside the safe area.
Real screenshots and photos on your words
Mention a site or a product and the real thing pops in right as you say it, then leaves.
Punch-ins that add emphasis
Subtle zooms land on the lines that matter, so a still talking head never feels still.
Sound effects, music and a title
Small accents on the action, music made for your video in the genre you pick (or none, to add a trending sound when you post), and a title that opens strong.
Storyboard and chat
See the edit before it renders.
ReelEditor shows one frame for every spoken line, with what is on screen and what was cut. You approve it, or you talk to it.
- Ask for changes in plain words, like “make the hook punchier.”
- See what changed, and undo it.
- The draft renders only after you approve.
Your styles
Show it what you like. It edits like that.
Give ReelEditor videos you love, as links or files. It studies their cuts, captions, fonts, music and story, and your edit follows them.
- Pacing, captions, graphics and sound, learned from your examples.
- Built-in looks too, when you want a starting point.
Example. Your style comes from the videos you pick.
Send to phone
Finished on your Mac. In your hand in seconds.
When the video is done, it goes straight to your iPhone by AirDrop or a QR code. The caption comes with it, ready to copy. You post from the Instagram or TikTok app, the way you always do.
- Exports in 4K.
- A post caption written for you, with the hook, the point and hashtags.
Formats
Made for how you actually make videos.
Talking head, interview or a day on your camera roll. Pick the format and the style fits.
Talking head
You to camera, tightened to the best takes with captions and pop-ins.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Do I need Claude, and what does it cost?
Yes. ReelEditor uses Claude to do the editing, so you need your own Claude account with a Pro or Max plan, or an Anthropic API key. That is billed by Anthropic and is the only other thing you pay for. See anthropic.com/pricing for the current plans.
ReelEditor itself adds no credits and no per-video fees. The video engine, transcription, sound effects, music and fonts are all included.
What if I cancel?
It keeps working to the end of the year you paid for, then stops making new edits. ReelEditor still opens, and you can watch, export and send every video you made. Subscribe again any time to pick up where you left off.
Does it upload my videos?
No. Your video files stay on your Mac, and editing and rendering run locally. To plan an edit, Claude reads the transcript, a few still frames and your notes through your own Claude account, as described in our privacy page. The app has no analytics.
Does it work on Intel Macs?
Not yet. ReelEditor needs a Mac with Apple silicon (M1 or later), macOS 13 or newer, and 16 GB of memory is recommended.
Is there a Windows version?
No. ReelEditor is a Mac app for now.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. There is a 7-day refund policy on every payment, and you can try the app free for 3 days first with no card. Details are on the refunds page.
How do I post to Instagram?
ReelEditor sends the finished video to your iPhone by AirDrop or a QR code, with the caption ready to copy. You then post from the Instagram or TikTok app as usual. Posting straight to Instagram from the app is also available as an advanced option if you connect your account.
Can I use it on two Macs?
