A: Great question, glad you asked before buying.
The iPhone companion was just recently added to this AppSumo deal!

The core product in this AppSumo deal is the Mac desktop app. That's where the full-powered clipping workflow lives - smart framing, advanced caption styles, custom crop, and unlimited processing, all running locally on your machine.

The iOS app is intentionally a lightweight companion rather than a mobile version of the full Mac editor, designed for quick on-the-go clipping. It is included in this deal at no extra cost to you and uses a third-party AI service to process clips on your phone with quick and easy setup using your free Google account. Once set up, you can clip, caption, and export up to 50 videos a day directly from your phone - great for quick clips when you're away from your Mac.

Advanced features like smart framing, custom crop, and advanced caption styles are Mac-only for now, as those require more processing power.

So to answer your question: if you only plan to use a phone, the iPhone companion app works independently and is fine for quick clipping on the go - but to get the absolute most out of Reelify and this deal, you'll want to run it on a Mac where the core engine lives.
Also, just a heads up: the iPhone app is currently optimized for English and still rolling out to more regions. If it's not available in your region yet, email us at [email protected] and we'll get you on TestFlight right away
