Frequently asked questions
What Cutfac does, what it costs and what happens to your files.
The product
A Mac app that has your coding agent, Claude Code or Codex, make short-form videos for your app. You review them by selecting a moment, boxing what's wrong and saying what to change.
Solo developers and small teams who built an app and have to market it themselves, and would rather not learn a video editor to do it.
No. You never touch a timeline or keyframes. You point at a range or an area and describe the change, and the agent makes it.
Vertical 9:16 video for TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts. Today you post them yourself; publishing from the app is planned.
English and Korean.
The app is for macOS only. The open-source code runs with Bun and ffmpeg, but macOS is the only platform we test.
Agents and AI costs
Claude Code and Codex, installed on your Mac and signed in with your own account. Any other assistant works through the Copy prompt button.
Cutfac doesn't charge for AI. Agent runs count against your own Claude or ChatGPT plan, or your API usage, the same way they do when you code.
A clip of the selected range, the frame with your box drawn on it, the start and end timecodes, the path to the original file and your request.
Claude Code runs with an allowlist of tools that you can change in the workspace config, and Codex runs in its workspace-write sandbox. Both work inside your workspace folder.
Compare the old and new versions, then restore the previous one. You can also ask for a different change in the same conversation.
Files and privacy
In a workspace folder on your Mac, as plain files and YAML. You can open, move and back it up like any other folder.
No. Cutfac processes videos on your Mac and doesn't send them to us. The agent you run sends what it reads to its own provider, Anthropic or OpenAI, under their terms.
No. The app doesn't send usage data or analytics. If you use Send feedback, only what you submit in the form is sent.
Pricing and license
The source code will be open, and building it yourself is free. The signed Mac app with automatic updates is $19 a month or $180 a year, with a 7-day free trial.
The first 100 people who pay before launch get their first year for $99. The renewal price is shown at checkout.
No. The paid app and the open-source version do the same things. Paying gets you signed builds and automatic updates, and later the reference feed and format packs.
The app keeps working at the last version you had. Updates stop, and your files stay where they are.
An open-source license, published with the code at launch.
Stop editing. Start pointing.
Your agent makes the cut. You mark what's wrong and say what you want instead.
