Native for Mac · In active development

Edit video like text. Publish without the fuss.

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.

Rooster

Video editor for Mac
From rough take to ready to share

A smaller, saner editor

From first take to finished video.

Rooster brings the useful core of a transcript editor into a native Mac app, with focused tools and sensible defaults.

01

Edit

Cut the parts you don’t need

Edit the transcript and Rooster keeps the picture and sound in step - no timeline archaeology required.

02

Record

Camera, screen, or both

Capture directly into a Rooster project with a teleprompter, framing guides, Mac audio, and the controls you actually need.

03

Polish

Look and sound ready to publish

Clean up speech, adjust eye contact, replace a background, add captions, and export from one calm workspace.

One calm workflow

Everything between record and publish, in one place.

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.
