One long video.
A week of shorts.
Hearthhammer finds the moments worth posting in your videos, VODs, and uploads, reframes them to 9:16 with word-synced captions, and schedules them to YouTube Shorts.

How it works
From raw recording to posted, in three steps
Features
An editor's eye, on autopilot
Everything between the raw recording and a clip worth posting is handled for you, and still yours to tweak.
faceFace-aware reframing
Faces are tracked through every shot, so the vertical crop follows the speaker instead of cutting them off.

Captions on every word
Word-level timestamps keep animated captions in lockstep with the voice.

Combine clips
Pick two or more clips and merge them into a new one. The originals stay as they are.

FAQ
Questions, answered
The short version of what people ask before they start clipping.
What videos can I clip?
YouTube videos, Twitch and Kick VODs or clips, and files you upload yourself. Paste a link or drag in a recording, and Hearthhammer takes it from there.
How does Hearthhammer choose the clips?
It transcribes the video word by word, then an AI model reads the whole transcript and picks moments that stand on their own. Each one is scored for hook, engagement, value, and shareability, and you can trim, split, or merge any clip afterwards.
How are minutes counted?
Plans are measured in minutes of source video, not in clips. Pro includes 10 hours a month and Creator 25 hours. A 30-minute video uses 30 minutes, however many clips come out of it. Allowances reset every month, on yearly plans too.
Can Hearthhammer post to TikTok and Instagram?
Today you can publish straight to YouTube Shorts: right away on Pro, or on a schedule with Creator. TikTok and Instagram are coming soon. Until then, download clips with the TikTok and Reels export presets and upload them yourself.
Do clips have a watermark?
No. Hearthhammer never adds a watermark, on hosted plans or when you self-host.
Does it work in other languages?
Yes. The spoken language is detected automatically, so transcripts, captions, and clip picks follow the language of the video.
Is it really free to self-host?
Yes. Hearthhammer is open source under AGPL-3.0 and runs with Docker Compose on your own machine. You only pay for the transcription and AI providers you choose, if any.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Change or cancel your plan from settings whenever you like. If you subscribed in the iPhone app, manage it through the App Store.
