Cut the parts you don’t need
Edit the transcript and Rooster keeps the picture and sound in step - no timeline archaeology required.
Rooster turns recordings into polished, captioned videos in one native Mac workspace. Record, edit the transcript, fix the rough edges, and export - without wrestling a traditional timeline.
Built for macOS 15 and Apple silicon. The first public release is headed to the Mac App Store.

Record
Capture directly into a Rooster project with a teleprompter, framing guides, Mac audio, and the controls you actually need.
Polish
Clean up speech, adjust eye contact, replace a background, add captions, and export from one calm workspace.
One calm workflow
Most video work is the same loop: record, cut, clean up, caption, export. Rooster keeps that loop moving with focused tools, sensible defaults, and fewer reasons to break your concentration.
Your original recordings stay untouched throughout.
Rooster for Mac
Rooster’s first public release will be available through the App Store. The download link will appear here as soon as the app is ready.
