Features
A free on-device reel editor, plus optional AI studios for photos, video, music and meeting notes. Each workflow tells you when it uses the cloud.
Creative workflows
These are the same destinations available from Create in the iOS and Android apps.
On-device core
Mix photos and clips into a finished short with beat-synced cuts, real film grades, titles, captions and sound.
Opt-in AI credits
Repair a photo, change its visual language, or create a character while keeping the source recognizable.
Opt-in AI · Experimental
Describe a short moment and turn one image into motion with generated sound while preserving its framing.
Opt-in AI credits
Generate original instrumental music, preview it, save it to your library and use it in any future reel.
On-device workflow
Bring together several recordings of one event, synchronize them by shared audio and build a cut from the strongest angles.
Opt-in AI · App and web
Record or upload a conversation and turn it into speaker-labeled notes, a summary and review-ready follow-ups.
The foundation
The ordinary creative work stays useful without an account. Heavy AI is explicit and metered separately.
Private by default
Tael's editing and rendering run on your phone. Nothing is uploaded, no account is required, and it works on a plane in airplane mode. The cloud is something you reach for — never the default.
Beat-sync engine
Tael analyses the track and places cuts on the beat, the bar, or every onset — then puts the punchy transitions on the strong hits.
13 cinematic looks
Each look is a complete recipe — color grade, film texture, motion, pacing, transitions and title cards — so you get a finished short, not a blank timeline.
Free where it counts
Every look, photos and video, clean exports with no watermark — free. We'll never lock everyday features (like using video instead of just photos) behind a paywall to upsell you.
Cloud power, on your terms
A few high-end workflows need real compute that a phone can't do alone. Those run in the cloud — opt-in, only when you ask for them — and you pay for the compute you use. The free on-device editor does not require a subscription.
The core editor is free and private. AI is there when the work calls for it.
