ClipFlow handles the small video jobs that do not need a timeline. Trim, join, compress, reverse, filter, caption, mute, blur, or convert a clip, then continue with the result. Version 1.9 adds partial reverse and 13 filter styles. Most processing runs on device.
Hi Product Hunt — I’m the solo developer behind ClipFlow.
I built ClipFlow because most of the video work I do on my phone is not really “editing.” Usually I just need to trim a clip, make it smaller, remove the audio, add captions, or turn it into a GIF. Opening a full timeline for one or two steps always felt heavier than the job itself.
ClipFlow is organized around those small jobs. You choose an operation, export it, and can immediately use the result for the next operation. It currently has 26 tools covering video, audio, subtitles, overlays, conversion, and export.
Version 2.0 adds video reverse and filter/color controls. Reverse can be applied to the whole clip or only a selected range, with separate audio options. Filters include 13 styles plus controls for brightness, contrast, saturation, warmth, and intensity.
Most video and audio processing happens on the device. AI voice generation is the exception and sends the entered text to the service used to generate the voice.
ClipFlow is not trying to replace CapCut or Final Cut. If you need a timeline, keyframes, or a large multi-track project, those tools are a better fit. ClipFlow is for the smaller jobs you want to finish quickly on an iPhone or iPad.
I’d especially like to know: what two-step video workflow do you repeat most often?

Love the "no timeline" framing — most video tools assume you want a full editor when really you just need one clip trimmed or one shot dropped in. Curious how you're handling model/rendering under the hood for quick jobs like this — are you generating anything AI-side, or purely editing existing footage? Ask because balancing speed vs. quality is the constant tension on the generation side of video tools too.
@abhineetarora Thanks! ClipFlow is focused on editing existing footage — no AI video generation in the pipeline. The goal is to keep small edits fast, predictable, and private by processing on-device.

@faichou_zh That makes sense — on-device processing for predictability and privacy is a smart tradeoff, especially since AI generation introduces exactly the kind of variability you'd want to avoid for quick trims. It's interesting how "no AI" is becoming its own differentiator in a space that's otherwise racing toward generation-everything. Good luck with the launch!

The no-timeline framing is spot on — as an indie iOS dev I mostly just need to trim + caption a quick clip, and opening a full editor for that is overkill. Love that most of it runs on device. Are the captions auto-generated, and does the on-device export keep the original resolution?
@lennoxbeflying Exactly the use case we built it for. Captions are auto-generated, and exports preserve the original resolution whenever the selected edit allows it.

The pipeline that lets you keep editing the output of your last action without re-importing is a really thoughtful touch, the kind of small detail that makes quick clip work feel fluid instead of fiddly.
@mesutnevin Really appreciate that — we wanted each result to feel like the next starting point, not a dead end that makes you import everything again.

A keyboard shortcut for trimming would be amazing, like hitting a hotkey to set in and out points without scrubbing with the mouse. Also would love to see a simple batch queue so I can line up a few clips and walk away while it processes them one after another.
@cosanalper66074 Thanks! ClipFlow is touch-first on iPhone and iPad for now, so no keyboard shortcuts or batch queue yet — but I appreciate the suggestions.

Tried it on a phone for trimming and adding a quick filter, and it handled the clip without uploading anything. The on-device processing makes it feel way faster than the editors I usually use for this kind of small job.
@smet1510713 Thanks for trying it! Keeping processing on-device was a big priority — faster for small edits, and your clips stay on your phone.

One thing I'd love to see is a way to save a custom sequence of edits as a preset. I often do the same trim, mute, and caption steps for short clips, and being able to chain them and reuse the flow with one tap would be a huge time saver.
@saadetjh1c That would be super useful. Reusable edit flows/presets are definitely something we’re considering, especially for repeatable short-form workflows.
