Cutfac is open source under AGPL-3.0. Build it from the code on GitHub and you get the whole app, with no video limit, no account and no license key.

## Nothing held back

The signed app is built from the same code, so building it yourself gets you every feature the app has.

- [Edit by pointing](https://cutfac.com/features#editing): There's no timeline to learn. You mark the moment and say what to change.
- [Your agent does the work](https://cutfac.com/features#agents): Cutfac runs Claude Code or Codex on your Mac with your own account.
- [Learn](https://cutfac.com/features#learn): Teach your agent what you make before it makes anything.
- [Formats](https://cutfac.com/features#formats): Turn what works into a recipe your agent can repeat.
- [Board](https://cutfac.com/features#board): Every video in one place, from drafting to done.
- [Plain files on your Mac](https://cutfac.com/features#files): Your work is yours, in a format you can read without us.

## Why it's open

- **Your agent, your account.** Cutfac runs the Claude Code or Codex you already use. Reading the code shows you exactly what it asks your agent to do.
- **Your videos stay on your Mac.** Every video is a plain folder you can open without Cutfac. Nothing is uploaded, and the code shows it.
- **Make it yours.** Change how it cuts, captions or checks your videos. Fork it and keep the changes, as long as what you share stays open.

## Build it, or skip the setup

Both get every feature. The signed app saves you the build and keeps itself up to date.
