Drag in a video → automatically detect & remove the watermark → export a clean version — all processed locally on your Mac, no upload, no signup required.
Background & problem
As AI-video tools (e.g., Sora) became more commonplace, creators found themselves hindered by persistent watermarks: forced to upload to slow, cloud-based removers, worry about privacy, receive degraded output. We asked: “Why can’t this just happen on the Mac, offline, seamlessly?” So we built it.
What sets it apart • Fully local processing: your video never leaves your machine. • No account or login required; drag & drop simplicity. • On Apple M1 machines we measured ~1 minute for a 15-second clip—significantly faster than typical browser tools. • Smart AI model: instead of simple blur/crop, the tool intelligently reconstructs pixels around the removed watermark. • Support for Sora-generated videos today; roadmap includes Veo3, Keling, TikTok and more.
Tech & trial plan • Built on CoreML / Metal GPU acceleration for macOS. • Free tier: 2 videos per day, no login needed. Paid options: annual subscription (early-bird) or one-time lifetime license. • Upcoming roadmap: batch processing, “speed vs quality” mode, iPhone/iPad versions.
Legal & usage note
We provide the tool, but you must ensure you own the rights to any source footage you feed into the app and comply with the terms of platforms you publish to.
What we’d love to learn from YOU • In your AI-video workflow: what watermark or platform is the biggest pain? • How do you weigh local (offline) processing versus cloud solutions? Usability, speed, privacy? • On Mac the bottlenecks: large video resolution, long-form clips, GPU limits—what have you encountered? • Which feature would you want next: batch processing, multi-platform support, mobile version, etc.?
