What you get depends on your idea, your style and your decisions: these samples do not guarantee results.
A real example
From one line to a Short
This is how “Mike the Headless Chicken” was made. Nothing is touched up for the website.
-
1The idea
Mike the Headless Chicken
-
2The facts
Claude looks up and checks the sources before writing. Anything it cannot confirm stays out of the script.
-
3The script, approved by you
- This rooster lived eighteen months without a head, and made his owners rich.
- In nineteen forty-five, the Olsens of Fruita, Colorado, wanted a rooster for dinner.
- But dinner lived.
- Before long, he was strutting around the farm, headless.
4The finished Short
-
Your Claude, your account
Claude Code runs on your Claude plan or your API key. You pay Anthropic directly.
-
You decide
The app stops and waits for your yes on the idea, the script, the spending and the final video.
-
No telemetry
The app sends no usage data. The license only sends the key and an installation ID.
-
Your projects are yours
They stay on your disk. If the license gets blocked, they are never deleted or encrypted.
From idea to video
Five steps. At each approval gate, the app stops and waits for your yes.
-
You pick a style and an idea
Start from an idea or from a script you already have, and pick the look of the video from the app’s styles.
-
Claude writes with you
It suggests ideas, writes the script and looks for sources for the facts. You choose and approve.
Gate: Your yes to the idea and the script
-
You decide before spending
The app shows you what it has done and what the paid voice would cost before going on. Nothing paid is spent without your yes.
Gate: Your yes to the cost
-
The app draws and edits
It adds the voice (paid, local or no narrator), draws the scenes in the chosen style, adds subtitles and sound and exports a vertical MP4. Before showing it to you, it checks it with automatic checks.
-
You fix it and you upload it
You watch the video live and fix it by pointing at what you want to change. The app prepares the title, description, hashtags and cover. You do the uploading: the app never uploads anything.
Gate: Your yes to the final video
An app you install on your Windows computer. You open a video, watch it live in the browser and fix it with Claude by pointing at what you want to change. Every change is saved and can be undone.
It is built to make a few videos and make them good, not to publish in bulk. We promise no views and no income: we promise quality with little of your time.
Styles
16 styles, one way of working
Each style has its own look and its own settings. You pick one when you start a video. These are their demos, made with the app.
-
The default 3D cartoons
2.5D cartoon films, with acting tied to every word and a moving camera.
-
Illustrated 3D
3D cartoons rendered in Blender: faces that change with every word and a camera that flies between shots.
-
Cube world
A world made of cubes, with biomes, caves and castles, where every line is shown: a new shot every second or two.
-
Block figures
Block figures with sticker faces: a new shot every second or two and a camera that never stops.
-
Toy bricks
A world of building bricks animated in stop motion: whatever is told gets built brick by brick.
-
Shadow puppets
Legends, myths and folk tales told with dyed-leather puppets, backlit against a glowing screen.
-
Secret agent
Sixties spy-movie title sequences: flat inks, scissor-cut shapes, silhouettes and giant letters.
-
Black-and-white halftone
Horror and mystery stories in the dark: you only see what the flashlight, the lightning or the opening door lights up.
-
Case file
Strange cases and true crime on a corkboard: typewritten cards, grainy photos and the red string that ties it all together.
-
Phone screen
Stories told on a phone screen: chats that type themselves, notifications that drop in and a camera that never rests.
-
Pencil
A pencil that draws right in front of you, in wallpapered rooms full of egg-headed people, to explain things with humor.
-
Paper diorama
Tales and curiosities in a layered cardboard diorama, with its own lamp and a camera that goes inside.
-
Print shop
A mid-century risograph poster: three inks, fibrous paper and wood type.
-
Pixel art
8, 16 or 32-bit pixel art: sprites and backgrounds with bitmap lettering and retro palettes.
-
Flat vector
Flat vector art with a camera that travels across a big world, for explainers.
-
Motion design
Vertical product explainers: the spoken word fills the screen, shapes morph and real screenshots appear.
Who it is for
It is for you if…
- You make short vertical videos (Shorts, Reels, TikTok) and want them to come out well without spending hours in an editor.
- You want to decide the idea, the script and the final result yourself, instead of handing everything to a button.
- You have, or will get, a Claude plan (Pro or Max) or an API key.
- You have a Windows 10 or 11 PC; an NVIDIA graphics card is recommended (for Illustrated 3D, rendered in Blender, it is needed in practice).
It is not for you if…
- You want to publish videos in bulk. Platforms, YouTube among them, go after mass-produced content.
- You use a Mac, Linux or only a phone: the app is for Windows.
- You do not want a Claude account: the app needs one.
- You expect guaranteed results: nobody can promise views.
Pricing
One subscription. Every style.
€60 per month
No commitment: cancel whenever you want.
Coming soon Pricing, taxes and what you pay separately
- The Windows app, with the styles you see on this site.
- A license key the app checks. It is valid while your subscription is active.
- One device activated at a time. To switch devices, you disconnect it from the app.
- Cancel any time: the key stays active until the end of the period you already paid.
What you pay, and to whom
Three things, and each one is paid to whoever provides it.
-
Paid to us, through Stripe
The app
A monthly subscription: €60 per month. Stripe takes the payment and declares VAT in each country.
-
Paid to Anthropic
Claude
Your Claude plan (Pro, $20 per month; Max, $100 to $200 per month) or your API key, which is paid by usage.
-
Optional
The voice
ElevenLabs or Inworld, with your account and their price. You can also use a local voice or make the video with no narrator.
Quick answers
What do I need to get started?
A Windows 11 PC, Claude Code signed in (with a Pro or Max plan, or with an API key) and the app license. A paid voice is optional. The full list is on Requirements.
Do I have to pay Anthropic separately?
Yes. Claude runs on your plan or your key and you pay Anthropic directly, not us. With a plan it is a flat fee (as far as we know: Pro, $20 per month; Max, $100 to $200 per month); with an API key you pay by usage. Check their website before signing up.
How many videos fit in my Claude plan?
It has not been measured yet. Anthropic says the Pro and Max limits are for “ordinary, individual use”, and each style uses a different amount. With an API key you pay by usage, and in the 3D styles it can cost far more than a plan; the app shows an estimate of the cost before you start.
How long does a video take?
It depends on the style and on your computer. In the only measurement made with Illustrated 3D (a 41 s video), the machine took about 2 h 40 min: 1 h 50 min up to the preview mockup, 15 min of adjustment and 34 min of export, not counting the voice or your decisions. The 2D styles have not been measured yet.
Does the app upload the videos for me?
No. The app never uploads anything. It prepares the title, description, hashtags and cover, and you upload the video wherever you want.
What happens if I cancel or stop paying?
If you cancel, the key stays active until the end of the period you already paid. When the subscription expires, the key expires and the app locks at the next check: it only shows the license screen. Your projects stay on your disk: they are never deleted or encrypted.
Is it right for you?
Check what you need and what each account costs before deciding.

Made with AI, and we say so
The videos on this site and the ones you make with the app are made with artificial intelligence: Claude writes the script and the scenes, and the voice can be synthetic.
We recommend always saying so in your videos and following each platform’s rules. YouTube, for example, goes after inauthentic or mass-produced content.
