About Zella
Zella is a screen and camera recorder paired with an AI editor that runs 100% on the chip in your own Mac or iPhone, so footage is never uploaded and the whole workflow — including export — works in airplane mode. Its Auto-Polish pass takes a raw take and, in a single tap, removes silences and filler words, writes keyword captions from your own audio, denoises and levels your voice, adds a hook title, emphasis zooms and a ducked music bed. Underneath the one tap sits a full timeline editor with keyframes, a curve editor, 25 transitions, 42 colour looks, live background removal against 40 backdrops and 19 callout types. An AI Assistant accepts plain-language instructions like 'cut the dead air and make it vertical', covering 101 actions on Mac and 71 on iPhone. Because there is no server to pay for, the complete editor and every AI feature are free with no watermark and no account; the one-time paid tiers only lift export limits and add 4K/8K, transparent-background and 60fps output.
