Restore and upscale video to 4K on your Mac, fully offline — every frame stays on your machine. A real timeline editor: cut, auto-montage to a beat, deinterlace old DVD footage, denoise, export to 4K. Photos too. Free tier with watermarked exports; Crisp Pro is $129 once — no subscription, no credits, no account. 30-day refund, no reason needed. Requires an Apple silicon Mac, macOS 26 or later.
Hi — Matthew, solo founder.
The problem: the tapes and old phone clips you actually care about are 480p, interlaced and noisy, and every tool that fixes them wants a subscription or an upload.
Crisp restores and upscales video to 4K on your Mac and never uploads a frame. It is a real timeline editor too: cut, auto-montage to a beat, deinterlace DVD footage, denoise, export.
What it is not: it will not invent detail that was never there. Out of focus stays out of focus, and the site says so. Apple silicon only.
Free tier: the full editor and the 4K upscaler, with a small “Made with Crisp” mark on exports. Pro is $129 once, no subscription, 30-day refund with no reason needed.
Question: what is the oldest clip you would run through it? Tell me the source (VHS capture, MiniDV, DVD rip, 2009 phone) and I will tell you what to expect before you download.
