What it does
Off the Clock Edit cuts out your pauses, adds zooms in different styles, like a slow push, a quick punch in or a zoom out, with sounds that match, and lets you drop in b-roll, headings, text and emojis in a few taps. Save your favorite settings as packs and use whichever one fits the video, so a two-minute clip takes minutes, not an evening.
Why I built it
I was off social media for years and missed how editing apps grew up. I wanted one that walks you through every step, simple enough that someone who has never edited a video could use it without a tutorial. But it's still powerful, with extra options right there when you want them, so it grows with you and you don't outgrow it.
Why it's called Off the Clock
I like my job. What I don't like is my time being tied to a clock. Everything I build happens after hours, around a 9 to 5, two kids, a dog who wants the couch, and a fiancé who cheers me on and pitches in more than he gets credit for.
Creating is my outlet, and it's something that's mine. So when part of it starts to feel like a chore, I fix it. Editing was that part. I built this app to handle the tedious work and give me back the fun, so I can edit fast in the time I actually have.
Building it is also part of a bigger plan: to be off the clock for good, a little sooner.
