910:38
870:52You know there are ten good moments in there. You just don't want to watch it again.
Three hours recorded, nothing posted. Finding the four moments that land means scrubbing the whole episode again.
The best moment happened at hour four. By the time you've found it and fixed the captions, it's cold.
Several clients, dozens of videos a week, and every cloud clipper bills you per minute.
All the boring clip work, done before you open it.
Momentreel does what eats your afternoon today: rewatching the episode, finding the moments, cropping vertical, syncing captions. You just pick which ones to post.
Your AI watches the whole episode so you don't have to.
Momentreel transcribes the video on your Mac with word-level timing and builds a shortlist of candidates. Your agent reads all of it and keeps the moments that stand on their own.
- An hour of video, without rewatching it
- Every clip with its score and the exact minute it came from
- Ask for another tone, another length or another platform
you're gonna get…94
freedom and agency…91
sophomore year of…87
would you say…84
The vertical crop follows whoever is talking.
No fixed box in the middle that cuts people in half. The crop finds faces, holds still while someone talks and cuts cleanly when the shot changes.
- Four modes: speaker, movement, blurred background or fixed
- Links are pulled at 1440p so the 9:16 stays sharp
- Change one clip’s mode and only that clip re-renders
Word-by-word captions, already burned in.
Five styles made for the feed, with the spoken word highlighted. In the language you recorded in, never translated to English first.
- Classic, Bold, Minimal, Viral and Podcast
- Top, centre or bottom; small, medium or large
- Switching style saves in seconds, no re-render
You always get the final say.
Trim the start or end on the timeline, ask for more clips from the built-in chat and download everything at once. No second editor.
- A timeline to adjust each clip to the second
- Chat with your AI inside the app: “make 3 under 30 s”
- Download all, ready for TikTok, Shorts and Reels

Momentreel opens a local MCP server. Claude, Codex or Cursor read the transcript, pick the moments and ask for the clips. We charge no tokens or credits, and we store no keys.
Your videos stay on your computer.
- Transcription with whisper.cpp and rendering with FFmpeg, on your Mac
- Nothing is uploaded: clips land in a folder you own
- The MCP server only listens on 127.0.0.1 and needs a token
- Local files are processed even with no internet
