Cadence

Screen guides in 5 steps. 1 minute each. No editing.

Cadence turns screen recordings into polished how-to videos — without a video editor. You record your guide as short steps (2–8). Each auto-stops at 60 seconds, so you stay sharp. Cadence stitches them into one MP4 with animated titles, cross-dissolves and chapters — then exports the same guide in 16:9, 9:16 and 1:1. No timeline. No cloud — it all stays on your Mac. One-time price, not a subscription.

Whether your agents are purchasing software, managing cloud resources, or executing trades, Paitify acts as the critical guardrail between your AI and your budget.

Cubby

Your passwords, keys & snippets — one keystroke away, 100% on-device.

Cubby is a native macOS menu-bar app that keeps the little things you look up all day — phone numbers, API keys, bank details, addresses, snippets — in named compartments you control ("Personal", "API Keys", "Bank"). Hover the notch or hit ⌘⇧Space, and a glass Dynamic-Island panel drops from the top. Type to filter, press return, and it's copied — about a second, start to finish. What sets it apart: • Curated compartments, not a time-ordered clipboard history • On-device AI smart-find — search by meaning, no exact words needed • Auto-organize on paste — it recognizes a Stripe key, card, or PAN and files it for you • Secrets stored in the macOS Keychain, masked until you reveal them • 100% on-device — no accounts, no servers, no telemetry. Even the AI runs locally. Native SwiftUI, signed & notarized, macOS 14+. Free for up to 15 compartments; Lifetime is $49 ($29 for the first 500 with code FOUNDERS).

fikaclip

Turn your long videos into high-performing viral shorts instantly

fikaclip turns one long video into a week of ready-to-post Shorts, Reels, and TikToks. Paste a YouTube link or upload a file, and the AI handles the cutting, captioning, reframing and even the translating. Every creator knows the math. An hour-long podcast, interview, or stream holds a dozen great moments, but finding them, cropping each one to 9:16, retiming captions, and exporting three versions eats an entire afternoon. Most AI clipping tools stop at the rough cut and send you back to CapCut or Premiere to finish. fikaclip is built to be the last stop. FIND : AI highlight detection scans the full transcript and audio for the hooks, punchlines, and payoff moments most likely to stop the scroll, even deep inside hour-long footage. FRAME : Smart reframing tracks speakers, products, and on-screen elements into a clean vertical layout, so nobody gets cropped mid-sentence and screen shares stay readable. FINISH : Every clip comes out with animated motion captions, a hook title, and multiple thumbnail options. Need a tweak? Edit it like a document: click any word to jump there, delete it to cut, and clear dead air across the whole clip in one pass. Add an AI voiceover, copyright-safe BGM, or SFX without leaving the editor. Then take it global. Dub any clip into other languages with natural AI voices and translated, retimed captions, so one upload reaches viewers in Japan, Brazil, Taiwan, and beyond no re-recording, no extra editors, no second timeline. fikaclip started in Korea and expanded to Japan, so multi-language publishing was designed into the product, not bolted on. Everything lives in one editor. Save your channel's fonts, caption style, colors, and layout as a template and apply it to every clip, whether you're a solo creator posting daily or a media team shipping dozens of clips a week across multiple channels. Team workspaces with roles and shared assets keep everyone on brand. When a clip is ready, schedule it and auto-publish to YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram from the same screen. Credit-based pricing means you only pay for what you render, and for the same output fikaclip comes in at 3x+ cheaper than Opus Clip. Start with free credits, no credit card required. ✓ AI highlight detection : scroll-stopping moments from hour-long footage ✓ Smart reframing : tracks people, products, and screen elements into clean 9:16 layouts ✓ Motion captions, hook titles, and thumbnail options for every clip ✓ Transcript-based editing : click a word to jump, delete to cut, one-pass silence removal ✓ AI dubbing : natural voices and translated captions, one video for every market ✓ AI voiceover, copyright-safe BGM, and SFX built in ✓ Reusable templates that lock in your channel's style ✓ Team workspaces with roles and shared assets for media teams and agencies ✓ Schedule and auto-publish to YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram ✓ 3x+ cheaper than Opus Clip for the same output ✓ Free credits to start : no credit card required Run it on your last upload and tell us where the AI got the cut wrong.
