WolfCut is everything you use CapCut for — without the watermarks, paywalls, or subscriptions. A native Rust engine does the heavy lifting, a clean React interface does the editing, and it all runs on your machine: install it and start cutting, no account, no extra downloads, no setup.
- Free and local Text-to-Speech features.
- 🎬 Multi-track editing, with several timelines per project when one isn't enough
- ✂️ The cutting toolkit you'd expect: split, trim, merge, transitions, speed control
- 💬 Auto-captions that run entirely on your machine — your audio never leaves it
- 🎙️ Voice filters for cleaning up or playing with your sound
- 📝 Titles and styled text
- 📦 Templates — build an edit once, reuse it for the next video
- 🚫 No watermarks, no account, nothing behind a paywall
- 🖥️ Works the same on macOS, Windows and Linux
Currently in Alpha (pre-release), Download from Releases, Supports:
- Windows (tested)
- MacOs (tested) - unsigned binaries, use
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/WolfCut.app - Linux
The repository is a flake. nix run github:jub0t/WolfCut starts the editor
with ffmpeg and whisper wired in; nix develop opens a shell with everything
npm run app needs.
Important
The best way to contribute is to grab a build from the Release page and test the application to see where it breaks or how it can be improved.

🌟 = important or really desired.
- 🌟 Total website/ revamp: and a proper deploy website for a Download landing page.
