Interface Gallery
Captions, teleprompter, masks, the multi-clip timeline, and the project library — all captured on iPhone.
Your whole workflow. One creator app.
The work that usually sends creators jumping between separate caption, teleprompter, and editing apps. Every clip below was recorded on iPhone.
Captions & transcript
Generate captions, then make every word yours.
Detect the language, generate karaoke-style captions, edit the transcript word by word, and apply a visual style across the whole clip.
Camera teleprompter
Read the script. Record the take. Keep moving.
Open a saved script, scroll it over the live camera, record, then send the take straight to the editor or Photos — with optional automatic captions.
Masks & keyframes
Shape the frame and animate it over time.
Add a mask, resize and position it precisely, then use keyframes to move the effect through the clip without leaving the timeline.
Custom fonts
Bring the typeface your brand already uses.
Import your own fonts and use them in text and caption designs, alongside the built-in styles, controls, and effects.
Built with Modern Tech
A fully native iOS stack — Swift and SwiftUI on the surface, Apple's on-device speech and vision frameworks underneath, Sentry for crash and performance monitoring.

Why creators choose Captions Bro
Stop wrestling desktop tools or slow web apps. Import or record, transcribe locally in seconds, stylize, and export a platform-ready cut — all from one multi-track editor designed for thumbs.
On-device transcription
Apple's on-device speech recognition handles dozens of languages with automatic language detection. Audio is transcribed on the iPhone — nothing is uploaded to a server.
Word-by-word animation
Per-word karaoke highlighting with 8 entrance animations — pop, slide, bounce, fade, and more — across 12 caption styles and 40 customizable text presets.
Profanity & filler removal
Mask profanity and strip English filler words directly in the transcript before export, so the cut is clean without hunting through the timeline.
Overlays & background removal
Add image, video, and emoji overlays anywhere on the frame, then cut the background out on-device with AI. No green screen required.
Teleprompter with CSV import
Read a script off the camera lens while recording, with adjustable scroll speed, font size, and mirroring. Import whole script libraries from CSV.
Export for every platform
Frame with 9:16, 4:5, 1:1, and 16:9 presets plus social safe-area guides, then export up to 4K HDR in MP4 or MOV through the iOS share sheet.
