All postsWhy we built SwiftyClip on-device
The cloud clippers' cost structure is obsolete for Apple Silicon. Here's why that matters for your margin and your speed.
The real cost of cloud clipping tools
Opus Clip Pro: $0.029 per source minute. SwiftyClip Lifetime: $149 once. Here's the math — and why most users break even in 4 months.
How AI agents will clip your content via MCP
A worked example: Claude Code ingests your 60-min podcast, scores 5 clips, renders them with captions, schedules to TikTok — all overnight.
Agent-native
Claude Code and Cursor can drive SwiftyClip.
Every pipeline stage is an MCP tool. Your agent ingests a podcast, scores 5 clips, renders them with captions, and schedules them to TikTok, Reels, Shorts, X, LinkedIn, and Threads — overnight, with nothing leaving your Mac.
