Yapwing is a Mac editor for captioned short videos. Select spoken words to cut their recorded audio and picture, correct captions, and arrange clips on a timeline.

The downloadable preview (build 189) runs on Apple Silicon Macs with macOS 26 or later. Download the preview, then make a first cut.

Work on your Mac

Section titled “Work on your Mac”

Editing and transcription run locally. Projects, recordings and transcripts stay on your Mac. Original media stays linked until you collect it into the project folder; editing a clip does not rewrite its source recording.

Yapwing downloads its speech model once, in the background. Until that finishes, a smaller built-in model transcribes, and the captions update afterward.

The first export is free. Later exports need a subscription. The account service handles account and payment information, separately from your media. See Yapwing’s privacy policy.

Give your coding agent the same project

Section titled “Give your coding agent the same project”

Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode and other agents that can run a local command can use the bundled yapwing CLI. They can read a project, propose a change, validate it and apply it through the same editing core as the app.

Use the readable .yapwing.ts view for edits by sentence, or JSON commands for clip and word operations. The app can remain open while the agent works. Connect a coding agent.

An optional local chat is available from View → Show Chat. It uses a model that you choose to download to your Mac; see Edit with the chat. External coding agents use their own model and data settings.

What the preview includes

Section titled “What the preview includes”

Build 189 imports and transcribes recordings, cuts by word, corrects and places captions, adds overlays and text, and keeps a source library you can search by what a video says or, with picture search on, by what it shows. It removes dead air, fits a video to a length, keeps a clip’s main subject in the frame with Follow Subject, and makes a rough reel from library videos. It exports portrait 9:16, 4:5, square or landscape video leveled to −14 LUFS. Its CLI inspects, views, previews, searches, edits, imports, collects and exports projects, and yapwing mcp connects Claude Code or Codex.
