Descript alternative
The Descript alternative that lives on your iPhone.
Descript is a desktop editor: you edit the transcript and the video follows. With Bang AI, you never leave your phone. You film yourself, tap Auto Edit, and it cuts the ums and retakes, adds J and L cuts, punch-ins and captions, and drops in your product shots. You post from the same phone you filmed on.

Talk to the camera. Tap Auto Edit. Post.
That’s the whole job. Bang AI does the part in the middle.
- Talk to the cameraRead the teleprompter or wing it. Flub freely; film as many takes as you need.
- Tap Auto EditIt cuts the ums, pauses and false starts, adds J and L cuts, punch-ins and captions, and drops in your product shots.
- PostFix a word or swap a take with a tap, then export 9:16, 4:5 and 1:1 in one go.
Which one is built for you?
Bang AI is for you if
- You film on your phone and want to post from your phone
- You make short, talking-to-camera videos that sell a product
- You want your product shot and discount code on the line you say them
- You want a teleprompter in the same app that cuts the video
Descript is for you if
- You edit on a Mac or a Windows computer
- You make podcasts, webinars, tutorials or screen recordings
- You want to edit by editing a transcript, or record remote guests
- Your team reviews and comments on videos together
Who Bang AI isn’t for: it cuts by what you say, so it works best on talking-to-camera videos with clear speech. If nobody talks in your videos, it’s the wrong app, and we’d rather tell you now.
