Who it's for
Built for people who already edit — and hate the busywork.
01
Creators with too much footage
Too many clips. Not enough time. Clean, cut, and ship without babysitting every scrub.
02
Editors tired of hunting footage
Stop tab-switching through stock sites. Describe what you need and place it on the timeline.
03
Anyone with audio who needs a video tonight
Drop a voiceover. Get an animated explainer with changing images — or a stock-footage cut — fast.
04
Anyone who wants AI media without a meter running
Generate images and videos on your computer or iPhone by chatting. Local runs don't cost a dime per generation.
Capabilities
Four ways HakoCut finishes the cut
Raw footage → usable cut
Describe the cut. Remove dead air, tighten boundaries, land on a real editable timeline. Review each step before it applies.
Chat the cut → review steps → editable timeline
Stop hunting stock
Ask for the B-roll you need. HakoCut finds and places footage so you keep editing instead of searching.
Describe B-roll → stock found → placed on timeline
Audio → quick video
One audio file in. Animated explainer with image changes — or stock footage synced to the VO. Export when it looks right.
Drop audio → images or stock synced → export
Chat → images & video on your machine
Generate images and videos on your computer or iPhone by chatting — no per-generation fees, no cloud bill for local runs. Describe what you want; it lands on the timeline.
Chat the look → generate on-device → place on timeline
The editor
Looks like CapCut on purpose.
HakoCut is built to feel familiar — CapCut-like editing so you don't relearn the craft. The difference: you can talk to the timeline, generate images and videos on-device by chatting, and clear the busywork without giving up a real multi-track editor.
- Same mental model: timeline, clips, export
- Chat when you want speed; timeline when you want control
- Ask mode = read-only Q&A over your footage (no accidental edits)
- Edit mode = reviewable workflows you approve step by step
- Chat → generate images & video on your machine — no per-gen bill
Local-first · on-device AI
AI that works where you work.
Core agent runs on your devices. Chat to generate images on iPhone and video on Mac — on your hardware, without paying per generation. Keep projects local-first. Sync only if you want the same project on phone and desktop.
- On-device chat agent on iPhone, Android, Mac, and Windows
- Chat to generate images on your own machine — while you edit
- Chat to generate video locally on Mac — no cloud meter
- Local-first media — your files stay on device by default
- Cross-device projects when you sign in (optional)
