ClipTempo
Local desktop app for people who make videos for work or teaching. Drop → set speed → export. Pitch stays natural. No upload. No watermark. No Premiere.
Real ClipTempo flow on Mac — files never leave your computer.
One job. Local processing. Natural voice with pitch preserve — not another full editor.
“I don’t need another editor. I need a 40-minute screen share at 1.5x that still sounds like me — on my Mac, offline. So I built ClipTempo for that job.”— Founder note (solo-built desktop utility)
Changing video speed is a one-job problem. Most tools make it a project — or an upload.
You open the big editor, wait for import, hunt the speed control, queue a render — all so viewers finish a video they would have abandoned at full length. One job. Too many steps.
Lesson packs and screen recordings are huge. Free online tools cap size, throttle quality, or stamp a watermark on work you’re shipping. You’re not making a meme. You’re delivering a file.
Your IP is the product. Browser speed changers mean someone else’s server. That’s a hard no for client work, corporate training, and closed courses.
You already stack tools. You don’t want a new subscription to change tempo. You want a small desktop utility that stays on the machine and stays bought.
Three steps. Files never leave your computer.
Add one file on Free. Need a whole library later? Pro unlocks batch queues.
1.25x for lessons, 1.5x–2x for demos, or a custom speed. Keep pitch on so you still sound like you.
New safe filename. Original untouched. Cancel anytime. Reveal in folder.
Free single-file export. macOS 12+ or Windows 10/11 (x64). Pro is $10 (50% off) for batch and presets.
Features are boring. Outcomes ship videos.
Long screen shares become publish-ready files in minutes — not after another full timeline pass. Viewers finish more; you re-record less.
Built for “40-minute capture → 1.25x–1.5x export,” not multi-track Hollywood timelines.
Nothing uploads. Nothing sits on a third-party encoder. Client workshops, internal training, and private curricula never leave your disk.
Local processing on Mac and Windows — the privacy story creators want for large private files.
Pitch preserve is the default path so “faster” doesn’t mean “cartoon.” Coding demos and talking-head videos stay listenable.
Pitch preserve is built in — natural speech at higher speeds, not chipmunk audio.
If you only needed a timeline, you’d open an editor. You needed tempo — and a finished export.
Speed screen recordings and ship alternate-pace versions without opening a full editor.
Turn hour-long captures into tighter modules students actually finish — batch when you’re ready for Pro.
Client training and internal footage stay on your computer. No upload. No watermark.

ClipTempo is a local Mac and Windows app: drop a video, set the speed, and export a new file. Nothing is uploaded. You do not need iMovie, Premiere, or a browser tool, and there is no watermark.
Now. ClipTempo for Mac (Apple Silicon) and Windows (x64) is live. Use Download for Mac or Download for Windows on this page. Free covers single-file export. Pro is $10 during the Black Friday sale (regular $19.99), one-time, for batch and saved presets.
Yes — if the file is small, you’re fine with accounts or watermarks, and you’re okay uploading private footage. ClipTempo is for the other case: large recordings, private material, no watermark, and a file that stays on your computer.
No. ClipTempo does one job well: change playback speed and export a video file. No multi-track timeline, no social template maze. If you need color grade and titles, keep your editor. If you need tempo, open ClipTempo.
Pitch preserve is available (and the default path for natural speech) so faster playback doesn’t automatically mean chipmunk audio. Export and listen in the app.
ClipTempo runs on Mac (Apple Silicon, macOS 12 Monterey or later) and Windows (x64, Windows 10/11). Download the installer for your system on this page.
We never overwrite it. Export writes a new file (safe name) next to the source or to a folder you choose. Cancel stops the run and cleans partials.
Black Friday price is $10 one-time (regular $19.99). That unlocks a batch queue, saved presets, and lifetime updates. Not a subscription. Local pricing may apply at checkout.
Yes. ClipTempo uses location-based pricing in eligible markets. The final price shown at checkout may be lower than the $19.99 list price based on your billing location.
If ClipTempo Pro is not right for you, email [email protected] within 14 days of purchase and I will refund you.
Mac and Windows are available now. We save your email and send a short note when new builds or platforms ship. No payment to join.
Every week you re-open a full editor (or re-upload a huge recording) just to change speed, you burn time you could spend shipping the next video. Download ClipTempo for Mac or Windows and export locally. Free to start.
