Record naturally. Get polished videos in minutes.

You do, 100%. Every cut, export, and final video stays yours to use however you want.

Your videos stay on your machine. Editing, trimming, and export all happen locally. When you use an AI feature, only the minimum data (typically the transcript) is sent to your AI provider.

Your footage stays yours, on your drive.

CueClip is built for:

• Educators
• Speakers
• Course Creators
• Podcasters
• Founders
• Long-form creators

If your videos involve talking, teaching, or explaining, CueClip fits naturally.

Yes. CueClip includes a full timeline editor when you need fine control.

It's simple when you want it, precise when you need it.

CueClip offers two options:

• Lifetime license ($99): Pay once, keep the app forever — includes 1 year of updates and $10 in AI credits.
• Monthly subscription ($19/mo): Access while subscribed — includes $5/mo in AI credits that reset each billing cycle.

After the first year on a lifetime license, you can continue using the version you have and connect your own AI Key.

When you cancel, you keep access until the end of your current billing period. After that, your license stops working — you won't be able to export or use included AI credits until you re-subscribe or enter a lifetime license key.

You can manage billing and cancellation from the Stripe customer portal linked in the desktop app, or contact support@cueclip.app.

Yes. If you buy a CueClip license directly from us, you can request a full refund within 14 days of purchase if it isn't a fit—email support@cueclip.app with the email you used at checkout and your order or receipt details.

Details and limits (for example, purchases through third parties) are spelled out in our Terms of Service.

Yes, you can download CueClip Desktop for free and try it out. To export your videos, you need to purchase a license.

If you buy a license and it isn't a fit, you can request a full refund within 14 days—see the money-back FAQ and Terms of Service for details.

Both plans cover everything in the app. If you hit a snag, support is one email away.

CueClip Desktop is currently available for macOS only. A Windows version is on the roadmap and we're actively working toward it.

If you're on Windows and want to be notified when it launches, join the waitlist and we'll reach out as soon as it's ready.

CueClip supports the most common video formats including MP4, MOV, MKV, and WebM. Most footage straight from a camera, screen recorder, or export from another tool will work without any conversion.

If you run into a format that isn't supported, reach out and we'll look into adding it.

Yes. In CueClip Desktop on macOS you can capture your screen (or a specific window), optionally add a camera overlay, and record with your microphone. When you stop, CueClip opens the recording as a project so you can edit right away in the same timeline — no extra import step.

macOS may ask for Screen Recording and Camera access the first time; allow those in System Settings if prompted.

CueClip is purpose-built for long-form, talk-driven content. Unlike general-purpose editors, it focuses on helping you cut, clean, and structure videos where someone is speaking, with a short learning curve.

• CapCut is optimized for short-form and social clips. CueClip handles long recordings and gives you real editorial control.
• Descript is subscription-based and cloud-dependent. CueClip offers a one-time lifetime license or a lower-cost monthly plan, processes locally, and keeps your files private.
• Adobe Premiere is a professional powerhouse, but it's complex and expensive. CueClip gets you from raw recording to polished cut much faster with far less setup.

Yes. The core editor runs entirely on your machine. Trimming, cutting, timeline edits, and exports all work on a flight, in a coffee shop with patchy Wi-Fi, or anywhere else.

AI features (transcription, smart cuts) need a connection to reach your AI provider. Everything else stays local.
