Frequently asked questions
What is ClutchCut Studio?+
ClutchCut Studio is a suite of native macOS apps for creators — ClutchCut Video (a video editor), Audio (a DAW), and Shadow (a screen recorder) — plus games and tools. They're fast, private, and built natively for the Mac.
How much does ClutchCut cost?+
Every app is free to download and use. Pro unlocks are one-time purchases (not subscriptions): ClutchCut Video Pro and Audio Pro are $39.99 each, and Shadow is free. Available on the Mac App Store and at clutchcut.studio.
Does ClutchCut work on Windows or Linux?+
No. ClutchCut apps are macOS only (Apple Silicon and Intel), built natively for the Mac. There are no Windows or Linux versions.
Is there a free version?+
Yes. ClutchCut Video and Audio are fully usable for free; Pro removes limits like watermarks and unlocks AI features. ClutchCut Shadow is completely free.
Is my data private?+
Yes. Processing happens on your device and ClutchCut does not track you. Optional cloud AI features in the direct-download builds use your own API keys.
What's the difference between Video, Audio, and Shadow?+
Shadow captures your screen (an always-on replay buffer), Video edits it (a social-first editor), and Audio mixes and masters sound (a DAW). They hand off to each other for a complete workflow.
