FriDevFriCutImport your media, and FriCut instantly generates a word-aligned transcript fully offline. Edit, rearrange, or delete words to cut the timeline. No timeline scrubbing or tedious frame-splitting required.
How it works
Import your media. Drag and drop any video or audio file. FriCut works with a non-destructive sandboxed copy, ensuring your original source files remain perfectly intact.
Instant offline transcription. Apple's neural engine transcribes your audio in seconds. A built-in alignment model maps every syllable to the exact frame automatically.
Delete words, cut video. Highlight text and hit delete to trim the media instantly. Sub-millisecond volume ramps smooth out the audio transition automatically, ready for high-quality MP4 export.
Every word is bound to precise frame offsets. When you delete a word, the timeline automatically collapses around it. No nudging, no zooming, no tedious micro-edits.
Zero server calls, zero network latency. Transcribe and rough-cut a two-hour interview on a cross-country flight without Wi-Fi.
Your raw media and transcripts never leave your hardware. Fully secure by default.
No recurring cloud costs or per-minute billing. Transcribe unlimited hours of footage without paying a cent extra.
Our custom alignment model snaps every phoneme to its precise visual timeline coordinates.
Supports all standard formats including MP4, MOV, MP3, M4A, and WAV natively.
Export native-quality files instantly. Smart volume crossfades prevent clicky cut transitions automatically.
Optimized for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. Buy once, run natively across your entire Apple ecosystem.
The annoying parts
Filler words
Detect and purge filler words instantly. FriCut automatically highlights 'ums', 'uhs', false starts, and repeated phrases. Strip them all in a single click, or review and delete them individually with a tap.
Long pauses
Instantly clean up dead air. Silence detection highlights awkward gaps on the timeline. Adjust the threshold and trim all pauses in seconds to keep your pacing tight and natural.
Mistakes
Fearless, non-destructive editing. Every word cut, trim, and filler sweep can be instantly undone. Since FriCut operates on a sandbox layer, your source media is never modified.
Waveform & Pauses
Dual timeline editing. Drag and highlight segments directly on the interactive waveform for fine-grained pacing, or strip all structural dead air instantly with a single button.
Privacy by architecture
We believe the most secure server is the one that never receives your data. Every part of the pipeline (speech-to-text, phonetic alignment, filler word filtering, audio crossfades, and final export) executes exclusively on your local CPU and GPU.
