Quick answer

Clipped (clipped.cc) is a free iPhone app that replaces the core Klap workflow with on-device AI. Klap runs in a browser, starts at $23+/mo, processes video in the cloud, and watermarks its free tier (verify current terms on klap.app). Clipped needs no browser, no upload, and no account: open-source Qwen 2.5 and Qwen 3.5 models run on the Apple Neural Engine, so it works even offline. It finds the strongest moments, reframes them to 9:16 with face tracking, and writes auto captions; a 1-hour video becomes 8 to 12 ranked clips in minutes. No subscription, no monthly cap; one one-time purchase removes the small watermark instead of $276+ every year.

FAQ

Klap alternative, answered.

Is there a free alternative to Klap?+

Yes. Clipped (clipped.cc) is a free iPhone app: AI finds the best moments, reframes them to 9:16 with face tracking, and adds captions, entirely on your phone, with no subscription, no account, and no cap. Klap starts at $23+/mo and watermarks its free tier (verify current terms on klap.app).

Does Clipped do multilingual captions like Klap?+

Multilingual captions are one of Klap's headline strengths; if you publish in many languages, its paid plans may earn their price (check klap.app for current language support). Clipped generates captions on-device for free, which covers most creators clipping in their own language.

Do I need a browser or an account to use Clipped?+

Neither. Klap runs in a browser and requires an account. Clipped is a native iPhone app: install it, open a video, clip; no sign-up, no email.

How long does Clipped take to clip a video?+

A 1-hour video becomes 8 to 12 ranked clips in a few minutes. There is no upload step, so speed does not depend on your connection; it even works offline.

Is Clipped really free, or is there a catch?+

Free to use, with one honest caveat: exports carry a small watermark, and a single one-time purchase removes it permanently. No recurring charge, no credits, no monthly cap. Compare that with $276+ per year at Klap's entry price.
