Why creators choose Montaj
Built from scratch for professionals who care about quality, speed, and privacy.
100% On-Device AI
Auto captions, background removal, noise reduction — all on your device. No cloud. No tracking.
Native Performance
Metal GPU acceleration on every Apple device. Built entirely in Swift & SwiftUI — no Electron, no web views.
Your Choice, Your Way
$9.99/month or $79 lifetime vs $240/year for CapCut Pro. No hidden fees.
Built with care
Indie-built. No compromises.
Montaj is built by an independent developer who believes video editing software shouldn't spy on you, lock you into expensive subscriptions, or claim rights to your content.
Why it matters
Your videos never leave your device
Every AI feature — captions, background removal, noise reduction — runs on-device via Core ML. No uploads, no cloud processing, no exceptions.
No account needed. Ever.
Download and start editing. No sign-up, no email, no tracking. Your projects are saved locally on your Mac.
No content rights claims
You own everything you create. Compare that to CapCut, whose terms grant them a license to use, modify, and distribute your content.
Edit like a pro
Multi-track timeline, trim, split, snap, keyframes, speed ramping, and 40+ effects. Everything you need for professional editing, right at your fingertips.
Captions in seconds
On-device speech-to-text in 40+ languages with 5 karaoke highlight styles and word-level timing. No internet required.
Broadcast-quality color
Color wheels (lift/gamma/gain), RGB curves, HSL correction, and adjustment layers. Histogram, waveform, and vectorscope included free.
Record anything
Screen capture (display, window, or region) on Mac, camera recording on all platforms, and audio recording with a live preview. No extra apps needed.
Sound and vision
40+ video effects, 11 transitions, chroma key, LUT import, noise reduction, EQ, and voice presets. Complete creative control.
Layer, blend, compose
Multi-layer compositing with 22 blend modes, adjustment layers, and full homographic stabilization. Apply composition presets for instant double-exposure, picture-in-picture, and cinematic looks.
Your content stays yours
Zero data collection. No content rights claims. CapCut's terms let them monetize your videos. Montaj never will.
