Hi HN, I’m Ben, long time web developer but this is my first time building a macOS app. I film a lot of tutorial and talking-head content and wanted to make it easier to chop out mistakes. So I built CutWord, a macOS app that lets you mark cue points with voice commands while you’re recording.

Once the app downloads a Whisper model everything runs locally, so nothing leaves your machine. You can export a trimmed video directly from the app or export a FCPXML file that can be imported into Final Cut or DaVinci Resolve for finishing. Built with SwiftUI and AVFoundation.
