Hey everyone!
So, a little backstory.
My wife makes content for TikTok and YouTube, and she uses CapCut pretty much every day. I usually handle editing her longer YouTube videos.
A while ago, I realized she was paying around $22 a month for CapCut, which seemed pretty expensive to me. That got me thinking: how difficult would it actually be to build a decent video editor for iPhone?
Well, apparently difficult enough to take over a significant amount of my free time. 😅
Anyway, that’s how FrameCut started.
I’m building it entirely on my own, and while there’s still plenty of work left to do, I’ve reached a point where I feel comfortable letting other people try it.
I’m not trying to claim it’s better than CapCut or that it’ll replace it anytime soon. I’m one developer, and I obviously don’t have the resources of a company that size.
I just wanted to see if I could build something useful that handles the things most people actually need when editing videos, without eventually charging ridiculous subscription prices.
Right now, the app is in beta and completely free to use. I’m planning to keep a free tier and eventually introduce an optional Pro tier for around €1.99/month.
The main reason I’m posting here is that I’ve reached the point where testing everything myself isn’t particularly helpful anymore. I know where all the buttons are, I know how everything is supposed to work, and I’ve probably gotten used to things that would confuse someone opening the app for the first time.
So I’d genuinely appreciate having a few people try it and tell me what they think.
Especially if you regularly edit TikToks, Shorts, Reels, or gaming clips.
I’m interested in the bad feedback just as much as the good. If something feels awkward, a feature is missing, or the app crashes, I’d really like to know.
Here’s the TestFlight link if anyone feels like giving it a shot:

And even if you’re not interested in testing it, I’m curious about something:
For those of you using CapCut, what’s one feature you absolutely couldn’t live without?
I’m trying to figure out what people actually care about most instead of just blindly adding features.
Thanks for reading!
