How clipping from a transcript works
Most free clippers limit how much video the AI will process each month. The free iPhone app skips that limit because you choose the moments yourself, and the transcript makes that quick: you read instead of scrubbing a timeline.
-
Import a long video
Pick a podcast, interview, lesson, or stream recording from your device.
-
Transcribe it on the device
Reelify writes out what was said. Transcription is unlimited on the free plan.
-
Select the lines you want
Read the transcript and select a passage. That passage becomes the clip, with the start and end set by the words.
-
Add captions and set the framing
Turn on captions and position the speaker in the vertical 9:16 frame.
-
Export and post
Export the clip and share it to TikTok, Instagram Reels, or YouTube Shorts. Repeat for as many clips as you want.
Free on iPhone, AI mode, or the Mac app
All three make captioned vertical clips. The difference is who picks the moments and how many hours of video you handle.
| Free on iPhone | AI mode on iPhone | Reelify for Mac | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who picks the moments | You, from the transcript | AI suggests them | AI suggests them, with a title and hook note for each |
| Video limit | Unlimited | Monthly limit by plan | Free forever, AI clipping on every video, no watermark |
| Watermark | Small watermark | None | None |
| Price | $0 | From $8.99 a month or $49 a year | Free forever. Creator is $59 once, no subscription |
| Best for | A few clips a week, editing on the go | Phone-only creators who want suggestions | Weekly podcasts, long recordings, and batches |
Have a Mac? Let AI pick the clips
If you clip a long recording every week, reading the full transcript adds up. Reelify for Mac reads it for you. Drop in a long video, even one of 6 hours or more, and it suggests the strongest moments, each with a time range, a title, and a note on the hook. You review, tighten, and export.
The Mac app is free forever, with AI clipping on every video, no watermark, no credit card, and no credits. It needs an Apple Silicon Mac (M1 or newer) with macOS 15 or later.

Who the free iPhone app suits
A good fit
- You want to clip without paying or counting credits
- Your videos are mostly speech: podcasts, interviews, lessons, streams
- You know roughly which moments you want, or you like choosing them
- You record and post from your phone
Not a fit
- You want AI to find the moments in hours of footage. Use AI mode or the Mac app.
- Your footage has little speech, such as B-roll or music videos
- You need a multi-track timeline. Reelify is a clipper, not a full editor.
- You use Android. There is no Reelify Android app right now. See options for Android users.
Frequently asked questions
Is Reelify really free and unlimited on iPhone?
Yes. The free iPhone and iPad app has no video limit and no transcription limit. You transcribe a video, pick the moments from the transcript, add captions, set the framing, and export as many clips as you want. Paid plans add AI mode, where Reelify picks the moments for you.
Do free exports have a watermark?
Yes, a small Reelify watermark. The iOS Creator and Pro plans remove it.
Do I need a Mac to use the iPhone app?
No. The iPhone and iPad app works on its own. You do not need a Mac, a computer, or a paid plan to transcribe, clip, caption, and export.
Does the free version pick clips with AI?
No. On the free plan you choose the moments yourself by selecting lines in the transcript. AI mode, which finds the moments for you, is part of the paid iOS plans. On a Mac, the Reelify Mac app does AI clipping, free forever with no watermark.
Are my videos uploaded?
No. Transcription and clipping run on your iPhone or iPad. The video stays on the device until you export and share a clip.
How is the iPhone app different from the Mac app?
The iPhone app is built around picking moments from a transcript, and it is free with no limits. The Mac app is built for long recordings and batches: AI suggests the clips with titles and hook notes, and it is free forever with no watermark. The Creator plan is $59 once instead of a subscription.
Clip your next video for free
Open a recording you already have, transcribe it, and pull out your first clip. There is no limit on how many you make.
