[ 01 ] How it works
An assembly line, not a video editor.
A long recording goes in one end. Ready-to-post shorts come out the other. You only review the parts the AI picks.

The AI proposes clips. You review, trim and approve every one before anything is exported.
[ 02 ] The judge
Every clip has to survive the judge.
Proposing clips is easy. ClipBomb then reads each candidate word for word, decides whether it stands alone, picks the sentence it should open on, and ranks the survivors across the whole video.

[ 07 ] Questions
Defuse your doubts.
When can I use the ClipBomb desktop app?
It's in active development. Join the waitlist above and you'll get one email the moment it's ready to install.
Does my video get uploaded anywhere?
No. The ClipBomb desktop app transcribes locally with Whisper, so the video stays on your machine. Only the transcript text goes to your AI provider, using your own keys.
What does it run on?
macOS on Apple Silicon, M1 or later. Windows support is planned.
What kind of videos work best?
Anything long with people talking: podcasts, tutorials, comedy, lectures, streams. The AI works out what kind of video it is and judges clips with that in mind.
Can I change what the AI picked?
Always. You review, trim, drag the 9:16 crop and approve every clip in a visual editor before anything is exported.
What about caption styles?
Exports already come with burned-in subtitles. Custom styles, colours and placement are being built next.
Light the fuse.
Your next ten shorts are already sitting inside a recording you finished weeks ago.
