2 open-source projects that already do this job. Free to use - not free to run, which is what the numbers on the right are for.

What you give up either way
- Mobile-native polishing, App Store integration, and in-app subscription management
- Built-in iCloud sync across iOS/macOS
- Polished timeline UX, touch interactions, and short-form onboarding
- Proprietary subtitle styles and animations (prebuilt templates)

An open-source project doing the core job proves a replacement is possible. It does not prove it matches BlitzCut, and it does not prove anyone has run it for a month. How we decide.
