I've been building a product that runs its AI models fully on-device. There are no API calls and it works offline. It started as a privacy decision, but it changed a lot more than I expected.
What got better:
No per-request API costs, so I can offer generous usage without worrying about margins.
Latency is predictable and there's no dependency on someone else's uptime.
Stillora is an MP4 video maker for iPhone, iPad and Mac that combines images, video clips and audio into a single MP4 file, without a complicated editing timeline. Pick your media, choose a format, export. Your files stay on your device.
Why I built it
YouTube, Instagram, TikTok and LinkedIn don't accept audio-only files. Every time I wanted to share a voice note, a song or a podcast clip, I had to open a full video editor just to put one image behind a sound file. Stillora removes those steps: image + audio in, MP4 out.
