Introducing Passcut: Native On-Device AI Editing
Why we built a native Swift/AppKit macOS app to turn raw footage into rough cuts from plain-English instructions.
Why we built Passcut for native macOS video editing
Passcut was created to solve the most tedious part of video editing—turning raw, unstructured camera footage into a clean initial rough cut—without forcing editors to upload gigabytes of media to cloud servers.
Built natively in Swift and AppKit for Apple Silicon, Passcut harnesses Apple SpeechAnalyzer and Apple Foundation Models to transcribe speech locally and execute editing instructions directly on your Mac.
