Everything the web tools do, without the 1GB ceiling.
The web tools already use your browser’s hardware encoder. Desktop removes the size ceiling, adds unlimited batch queues and native GPU encoders. It is in development — leave your email and be first in.
- No file size limit — process 4K and multi-hour recordings
- Batch queue: drop a folder, apply one preset, walk away
- Hardware-accelerated H.264 and H.265 encoding
- Fully offline; nothing ever leaves your machine
- Same tools as the web: compress, convert, GIF, trim, resize, audio

We are staying local-first. If you still want a later GPU cloud option for huge files or phones that cannot finish a job, leave your email. This is a waitlist, not a product.
Honest limits
Web vs desktop
The browser version covers everyday videos with hardware encoding. Bigger jobs go to the desktop app — same privacy, no size ceiling.
