I built Marker for Creators because I kept running into the same painful problem as a videographer: During a shoot, I already knew which moments I wanted in the final cut - but once I got into post, I had no idea where those moments were. I was scrubbing, rewatching, timestamping, searching … basically wasting time on something I had already mentally decided on during the shoot. There was no simple way to mark “this is important” while filming, without breaking the flow. So I built the smallest possible tool to fix that. At first, it was just a personal utility: tap a marker on my phone → see the timestamps later. But then I showed an early version to a few agency owners, editors, and podcast teams - and they all had the same reaction: “Why does this not exist already?” That feedback changed the direction of the project. Instead of a quick personal tool, it became a workflow assistant for creators with long-form content: videographers, filmmakers, content teams, vloggers, and video-podcasters. Throughout development, my main rule was: Don’t add more - make it easier. That’s why Marker works from the Lock Screen (Live Activities), the Apple Watch, and the iPhone - so creators can mark the moment without stopping the shoot. Hearing from early testers that it saves ~1 hour of editing time for every 4 hours of footage told me I was on the right track. It’s been evolving based on real-world use: event videographers marking highlight moments, editors receiving cleaner instructions, vloggers tagging story beats during travel days. My goal now is to keep it simple, fast, and genuinely helpful - and with the Product Hunt launch, I’m hoping to gather even more feedback to make this the best “mark while filming” tool out there. Happy to answer any questions - and if you try it, I’d love to hear your experience.
