It runs on any Mac with macOS 13, Apple Silicon or Intel. No network calls during compression.
Compression depth
Five quality levels sit above the raw FFmpeg engine. You decide where the trade-off sits per file. Batch processing runs in parallel, so a folder of source clips doesn't tie up the afternoon. Set a watched folder and new files compress without touching the app.
Control paths
A Raycast extension lets you send files straight from the launcher. Version 1.30.1 stepped back from registering as the default opener for movies, PNG, and JPEG — less system friction, more deliberate use.
The watched folder is elegant until it isn't. If files vanish without a compressed copy appearing, check that the destination folder lives on a locally mounted volume. Network drives and some external formats confuse the watcher. A quick toggle off and on again in the folder settings usually restores the flow.
Another quiet snag: very large source files can stall the interface momentarily while FFmpeg reads the header. The app hasn't frozen. Give it a breath.
Switch to WebM
Open preferences and switch the default export format to WebM if your workflow leans web. The file size difference against MP4 is real, especially at the middle quality tiers.
Next, raise the parallel job count to match your Mac's performance cores. The default is conservative. On an Apple Silicon machine, three or four simultaneous compressions rarely cause a stutter elsewhere.
Turn off automatic post-compression notification sounds. The silence is better. You notice the finished file by its size, not by a chime.
