What is UGCut?

UGCut turns a script into a finished, captioned video in about 15 minutes, entirely on your iPhone. Write or paste your script and UGCut splits it into sentences you can tag Hook, Body, and CTA. Read it once with the speech-following teleprompter — flub a line and a single gesture re-records just that sentence. UGCut auto-cuts the take per sentence, adds animated captions in your choice of 8 styles, and exports presets sized for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts with a safe-zone preview. Every cut is anchored to a sentence in your script, so editing is as easy as editing text. All AI runs on-device (iOS 26+) — your footage and your face never leave your phone, with no account required to record, cut, caption, and export. The free tier keeps the entire core loop; Pro removes the watermark, unlocks 4K, and adds all 8 caption styles.

FAQ

How is UGCut different from CapCut?
CapCut starts from footage and gives you a freeform timeline — a talking-head ad can mean 45–90 minutes of scrubbing. UGCut starts from your script. Every cut is anchored to a sentence, so UGCut auto-cuts the take per sentence and you edit by editing text, not by dragging clips. Most videos are done in about 15 minutes with zero timeline work.
What does "script-first" actually mean?
You write or paste a script and UGCut splits it into sentences. You read it with the teleprompter, and every downstream piece — clips, takes, cut points, captions, retakes — is tied to a sentence in that script. Flubbed sentence 7? Re-record just sentence 7. Need a different hook? Swap that one line. Nothing else on mobile works this way.
Does my video ever leave my iPhone?
No. The entire core loop — script, recording, auto-cut, captions, and export — runs on-device using iOS 26 on-device AI. Your footage and your face never get uploaded. There is no media backend. The only optional sign-in is Sign in with Apple, used just to manage a web subscription or the creator program.
Do I need an account to use UGCut?
No. You can write, record, auto-cut, caption, and export without ever signing in. An optional Sign in with Apple is offered only if you subscribe on the web, restore a purchase, or join the creator program — it is never required to make a video.
How does the teleprompter work?
UGCut’s teleprompter follows your voice as you read, so the script scrolls at your pace, not a fixed speed. The current sentence is highlighted; neighbor lines dim so you can anticipate. If you flub a line, a single gesture re-records just that sentence instead of the whole take.
What’s free and what’s Pro?
Free keeps the entire core loop — script editor, teleprompter, auto-cut, captions, and export — plus 3 caption styles and up to 1080p, with a small UGCut watermark. Pro removes the watermark, unlocks 4K export, and adds all 8 caption styles (and future style packs). The magic loop is never gated — only the watermark, 4K, and premium styles are.
How much does Pro cost?
Monthly is $9.99. Annual is $49.99 a year with a 7-day free trial — about 58% less than paying monthly. Or buy Lifetime once for $99.99 and never pay again. Pick whatever fits how you work; the free tier already covers the full core loop.
Which platforms can I export for?
UGCut exports portrait-first presets sized for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts, with a safe-zone preview so your captions and key moments clear each platform’s on-screen UI. Free exports up to 1080p; Pro unlocks 4K.

Privacy

UGCut keeps the whole core loop on your iPhone. Your script, your footage, and every cut and caption are processed on-device — they never touch a server. There is no cloud sync of your media or projects, and no account is required to write, record, cut, caption, and export. The only optional sign-in is Sign in with Apple, used solely to manage a web subscription or the creator program.
