Why local<br>Stop uploading hours of video
Cloud tools make you upload multi-GB files, wait in a queue and pay for every processed minute — because they pay for the GPUs. LocalClip runs on the hardware you already own.
Faster processing<br>No upload, no queue. Transcription and rendering start instantly on your Mac's GPU (mlx / Apple Silicon).
Privacy by design<br>Your footage never touches a server. Nothing to upload, nothing stored in someone else's cloud.
Fixed cost<br>No per-minute billing, no per-clip credits. Because it runs on your device, we don't pay for your compute.
Unlimited clips<br>Render as many clips from as many videos as you want. Your hardware is the only limit — and it's idle anyway.
AI Studio<br>The clipper is just the beginning
LocalClip is a local video-understanding engine. It watches your recording once — and turns it into everything you need to publish.
