How many hours is editing costing you?
Most of editing a talking-head video is finding the good takes, cutting the dead air and typing captions. That's exactly the part ByeCut does for you. Move the sliders to see what it's worth. Once you're editing, the app counts the hours you've saved every month.
That's about 9 min per video with ByeCut. AI Edit does the cutting; a quick review stays with you, so we count 15% of your current editing time, the same estimate the app uses.

Best-take selection
Other editors keep your last take. ByeCut keeps your best.
Record a line five times and most AI editors just keep whichever came last. ByeCut listens to every take and keeps the delivery that actually lands. No more scrubbing through five versions of the same sentence to find the good one.
“Okay, this changed everything.”
So easy it barely counts as editing. Three taps to posted.

What is ByeCut?
ByeCut is an AI video editor for iPhone and iPad built for talking-head videos. It automatically removes silences, filler words and bad takes from your raw footage, adds word-by-word captions and exports in up to 4K for TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts, turning up to two hours of editing into about five minutes.
How much time does ByeCut save?
It depends on how you edit today. Hand-editing a short talking-head video (scrubbing through retakes, cutting pauses, typing captions) can easily take one to two hours. With ByeCut, AI Edit does the cutting and you spend a few minutes reviewing the cut and picking a caption style. Post a few videos a week and that adds up to hours every week. Try the calculator above with your own numbers. The app also keeps count: Home shows how much editing time you've saved each month.
Do I need any editing experience?
No. Drop in your footage, tap AI Edit and approve the cut. The full timeline is there whenever you want a hand on it, but you never need to touch it to post a clean video.
Is ByeCut free?
Yes. The full editor, captions, effects and 4K exports are free forever with no watermark. Your first AI edit is free on a recording of up to 15 minutes. More AI edits come with the Creator and Pro plans, and both start with a 3-day free trial.
How is ByeCut different from other AI video editors?
Most AI editors cut words from a transcript and assume your last take is the best. ByeCut's AI Edit, powered by GPT-6, hears every take of each line, keeps the strongest delivery and reviews its own cut. It can also match your footage to a script line by line, and it keeps working in the background while your phone is locked.
Does ByeCut upload my videos?
No. Editing, captions and exports happen on your device. To pick your best takes, AI Edit sends audio-only copies of your clips, the transcript and any script or notes you add to OpenAI, our AI provider, but never the video itself. OpenAI doesn't train models on it and deletes it within 30 days.
Which devices does ByeCut run on?
iPhone and iPad with iOS 26 or later. ByeCut is a native Apple app, built to take full advantage of iOS video and on-device machine learning, so it isn't available on Android.
Which videos does ByeCut work best for?
Anything where you talk to the camera: TikToks, Reels, YouTube Shorts, UGC ads, tutorials, course lessons, podcast clips and product updates.
Say bye to editing. Get your evenings back.
Your next video is already sitting in your camera roll. Drop it into ByeCut and get a clean, captioned cut back in minutes. Your first AI edit is free.
