Recap: Automatically Turn Your Memories Into Beautiful Video Montages

We capture thousands of photos and video clips each year, yet the vast majority remain buried in our camera rolls. Sifting through months of footage, selecting the best highlights, and timing transitions manually can take hours of exhausting editing.

Recap solves this instantly. Powered by intelligent on-device computer vision, Recap turns your scattered photos and clips into captivating, rhythm-synchronized video montages in just a few taps. Whether creating a dynamic monthly recap for Instagram Reels, compiling a romantic vacation story, or producing a heartfelt anniversary tribute, Recap handles all the complex editing work automatically.

1. Automated Video Generation

Eliminate manual cutting and tedious timeline adjustments:

  • Smart Media Selection: Intelligent algorithms analyze your camera roll to pinpoint the sharpest photos, best facial expressions, and most vibrant video clips from any selected date range or event.
  • Beat-Sync Technology: Recap trims your footage to match the exact tempo and beat drops of your soundtrack, delivering a professional cinematic flow without manual trimming.
  • One-Tap Montage Creation: Create polished Monthly Recaps and Year-in-Review reels with a single tap.

2. Cinematic Aesthetic Templates

Give your memories the look of an editorial film:

  • Curated Visual Themes: Select from dozens of designed styles including Vintage Film, Lo-Fi Nostalgia, Clean Minimalist Vlog, and High-Energy Motion.
  • Cohesive Color Grading: Apply cinematic filters that harmonize color tones across photos shot under completely different lighting conditions.

  • Custom Audio Import: Add your favorite audio tracks directly from your files or extract audio from existing videos in your gallery.

5. Private, Fast and Secure Architecture

Your private media remains strictly yours:

  • 100% On-Device Processing: All video rendering and visual analysis execute locally using Apple Neural Engine and GPU acceleration. Your personal media is never uploaded to remote cloud servers.
