Saycut isn't out yet. Pick your system and join the waitlist, and we'll email you the download when Saycut opens.
Saycut runs on Mac and Windows computers.
Needs an Apple M-series chip.
Any Apple M chip works. If you see Processor with an Intel name instead, your Mac has an Intel chip. Intel Macs are still being tested, so we can't promise Saycut will run on one.
We'll email you the Mac download when Saycut opens.
Needs 64-bit Windows 10 (22H2) or Windows 11.
That's the one Saycut needs. Windows on Arm, which shows as an ARM-based processor, isn't supported at launch.
We'll email you the Windows download when Saycut opens.
Saycut installs on a Mac or Windows computer. Leave your email and we'll send you the link to open there when Saycut opens.
These requirements are proposed. We're still testing Saycut on real Macs and PCs, and this table will change if the tests say so.
Proposed requirements
| Proposed requirements | Minimum | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| Mac | macOS 13 or later, Apple silicon | Apple silicon, macOS 14 or later |
| Windows | Windows 10 22H2 or 11, 64-bit. Windows on Arm is not supported at launch | Windows 11 |
| Memory | 8 GB, for 1080p and videos up to about 10 minutes | 16 GB or more, for 4K and long footage |
| Graphics | A working hardware H.264 encoder for 4K. Without one, exports cap at 1080p | Apple silicon, or a recent Intel, NVIDIA or AMD GPU |
| Disk | About 0.6 to 1.2 GB for the app, plus optional downloads and project space | An SSD with about twice your source footage free |
| Internet | Needed to activate, sign in, fetch optional downloads, search stock and use paid services | Building, previewing and exporting run on your computer |
Optional downloads: transcription and alignment about 0.6 to 1.8 GB, local voices about 0.1 to 0.4 GB, cut-out about 0.03 to 0.1 GB.
First time you open it
Before your first video, Saycut encodes a real test clip and checks your memory, disk space and system version. Then it tells you in plain words what your computer can export.
If something holds it back, it says that plainly too, for example: "No hardware encoder found, so exports are up to 1080p."
Your Mac can export up to 4K.
Direct files for setting Saycut up on more than one computer. Each file is signed, and you can compare it with the SHA-256 checksum listed here.
What changed in each version is on What's new.
Saycut is a desktop app for Mac and Windows. There's no phone app, so on a phone you can ask us to email you the link for your computer.
Saycut needs an Apple M-series chip. Intel Macs are still being tested, so we can't promise one will run it. About This Mac shows which chip you have.
Saycut works mostly offline. Building, previewing and exporting happen on your computer. Signing in, stock search and outside services need the internet.
Yes. Saycut opens on Mac and Windows together.
