Everything the cut needs
Every feature below is in the one subscription, on iPhone and on Android.
The cut
Retakes and dead air, gone
Say a line three times and TidyTake groups the attempts, keeps the one that lands, and drops the pauses and filler around it. The rest of the take is untouched.
- Retake groups show every attempt so you can pick a different one.
- Fillers are struck word by word, not by a blunt silence threshold.
- Cuts land on frame boundaries, so audio never clicks.
Review
The edit is a page of words
No timeline to learn. The cut arrives as your transcript: kept words lit, cut words struck. Tap a word to restore it, drag a boundary to nudge it, and the length updates as you go.
- Tap once to restore a word, twice to restore the sentence.
- Scrub the waveform to hear a span before you decide on it.
- The raw and cut lengths sit at the top so you always know the trade.

Captions
Captions that match the cut
Five styles, from a plain white set to a karaoke fill. The current word is highlighted as you speak, and the safe zone for each platform is drawn on the preview so nothing lands under a username.
- Clean, highlight, boxed, karaoke and lower-third.
- Burned in at export, so they survive every re-upload.
- Preview renders a real frame through the same encoder that exports.

Motion
Punch-in zoom on the cut points
A jump cut reads as a mistake when the framing does not move. TidyTake pushes in a few percent at the cut and holds, so the edit reads as a decision.
- Three strengths, or off.
- Never crops past the safe zone you picked.
- Applied at render, so nothing is baked in until you export.
Batch
A week of clips in one queue
Add every clip you filmed, set the level once, and put the phone on the charger. The queue keeps running while the screen is off and tells you when it is done.
- Reorder the queue while it runs.
- Each clip keeps its own review screen; nothing exports without you.
- Pauses itself on low battery or low storage and picks up after.

Script
Cuts that follow your script
Paste the script and the cut is matched against the line you meant to say. The attempt that finishes the sentence wins, even when it is not the last one you filmed.
- Works with a rough outline, not just a word-for-word script.
- Lines you never got to are listed so you can film a pickup.
- Optional; the cut works without one.

Brands
One preset per client
Caption style, colours, aspect ratio, intro and outro, saved as a brand. Switch brand and the next export matches without touching a setting.
- Unlimited brand profiles.
- Set a default so the common case needs no taps.
- Applies to everything in the queue at once.
- clean
- highlight
- boxed
- karaoke
Audio
Fix a line with your voice
Record a voiceover over any span without leaving the review screen. The waveform shows both, and the original ducks under it.
- Record, listen, re-record, all in place.
- Levels are matched to the take so nothing jumps.
- Trim the overlay to the frame.

Offline
The edit happens on the phone
Transcription and rendering are local. On a plane, on the underground, on a hotel connection that barely works, the cut still runs.
- The video file never leaves the device.
- Only transcript text and the cut plan use the network, and only with your consent.
- Exports write straight to your camera roll.
Against a cloud editor
Most tools in this category upload your footage, render on a server and bill you by the minute. Here is what changes when the edit runs on the phone instead.
| What matters | TidyTake | Cloud editors |
|---|---|---|
| Where your video goes | Nowhere. It stays on the phone. | Uploaded to a server you do not control. |
| How many edits | Unlimited, no credits, no minute meter. | Credits or minutes, topped up when they run out. |
| When the servers are busy | Nothing to queue for. The phone renders it. | You wait, and a failed render costs a credit. |
| Android | Same app, same features, from day one. | Often iPhone first, Android later or never. |
| Seeing the cut before it happens | The full transcript, every cut struck, one tap to restore. | A rendered preview after the fact. |
| Watermarks | Never, on any plan. | Common on the cheaper tiers. |
