## Description

CleanCut mutes swearing in videos you already own — films, home recordings, downloads — so you can watch them with family without the language.<br><br>Point it at a video. CleanCut listens to the speech, finds the profanity, and silences those moments during playback. You can also bleep them instead, mask them in subtitles, save a cleaned copy, or cast the filtered version to your TV.<br><br>EVERYTHING HAPPENS ON YOUR PHONE<br><br>CleanCut does its own speech recognition on-device. Your videos are never uploaded. There is no account to create, no server to trust, and no subscription. Put your phone in aeroplane mode and it still works.<br><br>That is not a marketing line — it is how the app is built. CleanCut has no analytics, no advertising, and no crash reporting.<br><br>YOU DECIDE WHAT COUNTS AS SWEARING<br><br>Three severity tiers you can switch on and off independently:<br><br>- Mild — damn, hell etc<br>- Strong — the harder words<br>- Blasphemy — for viewers who want religious language filtered too<br><br>Every word is editable. Add your own, remove ones you do not mind.<br><br>FEATURES<br><br>- Automatic profanity detection through on-device speech recognition<br>- Mute or bleep — your choice of tone and volume<br>- Subtitle censoring, so filtered words are not readable on screen either<br>- Manual editing — add, move or delete any muted moment yourself<br>- Verify pass to double-check a filtered video before you show it to anyone<br>- Export a permanently cleaned copy to your gallery<br>- Casting support for filtered playback on the big screen<br>- Picture-in-picture<br>- Four speech models, from fast to most accurate<br>- Works fully offline, out of the box<br><br>HONEST ABOUT THE LIMITS<br><br>Speech recognition is very good but not perfect. Mumbled dialogue, heavy accents, loud music and overlapping speech can all cause a word to be missed. CleanCut includes a verify pass and full manual editing precisely because of this. If you are showing something to children, check it first.<br><br>CleanCut filters video files stored on your device. It does not filter streaming services, which do not allow other apps to modify their playback.<br><br>WHO IT IS FOR<br><br>Parents who want a film watchable with the kids in the room. Teachers showing a clip in class. Churches, community groups and anyone screening video to a mixed audience.<br><br>OPEN SOURCE<br><br>CleanCut is built on FFmpeg and whisper.cpp. Licences and source availability are listed in the app under About.<br><br>Made in South Africa by WhiteHat4Hire.
