Pitaia

Pitaia is a fast, no-nonsense video toolbox for macOS - and it's free. It gathers the small, fiddly jobs you keep reaching for — pulling a frame, trimming a clip, converting a format, matching a color, laying takes end to end, editing a sound - into one tidy app with a tool for each task. Everything runs on your Mac. Nothing is uploaded, there's no account, and there's no subscription.

Pick a tool from the sidebar, drop in a file, and go.

THE TOOLS

• Frames Extractor — Pull still frames from any video. Sample evenly across a clip or grab specific moments, then save the stills you want.
• Trim Video — Set in and out points on a scrubbable timeline and export the cut. Choose a fast, lossless trim or a frame-accurate re-encode.
• Crop — Crop an image or a video to any region or a fixed aspect ratio, with a live preview.
• Export — Transcode, resize, change frame rate, or switch container (MP4, MOV, WebM, GIF, audio-only, and more). A simple Quality slider keeps the controls friendly.
• First / Last Frame — Grab the very first or very last frame of a clip as an image in one click.
• Audio — Drop an audio file, see its waveform, set a trim window, add fade-in and fade-out, and export to M4A or WAV. Fades preview live, so you hear the result before you save.
• Seam Match — Color-match two clips at a join so a cut between them looks seamless, with an adjustable strength.
• Layout — Arrange and trim several clips into a single back-to-back video.
• Storyboard Editor — Slice a contact sheet or grid image into its individual cells.

A built-in Tray and Library let you stash results and hand a file from one tool to the next without digging through folders.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

Pitaia does all of its work locally using on-device processing. It has no network features, collects no data, requires no sign-in, and never sends your media anywhere. What's on your Mac stays on your Mac.

BUILT FOR MAC OS

A native SwiftUI app with drag-and-drop, a clean sidebar, light and dark mode, and standard "Export…" and "Reveal in Finder" actions throughout. Reorder the sidebar to put the tools you use most up top.

Pitaia is especially handy if you work with lots of short clips — exports from cameras, screen recordings, or generated video — and need to clean them up, standardize them, and stitch them together quickly.

Free. No subscription. No cloud. Just the tools.
