TallyReel homepage: "Put an idea on the wall. Wake up to a video." beside sticky notes with video ideas and the real videos they became.

What it is

Put an idea on the wall and TallyReel Studio turns it into a finished video: a script with a hook, matching footage, a natural voice, word-highlighted captions and music, in any of 31 languages. The AI runs on your own Mac or PC, so your ideas never leave it and there is nothing to meter. Pay once, make as many videos as you like.

What was hard

The AI lives on your machine
Script writing, the voice, caption timing, music and rendering all run locally. The language model is sized to the computer’s memory: MLX on Apple silicon, llama.cpp on Windows.
You stay the editor
The script arrives in about 40 seconds on an M-series Mac. Change a word, swap a shot or paste your own script, and nothing renders until you say so.
Shorts, and long videos too
9:16 for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, or 16:9 YouTube videos up to 15 minutes, researched, split into chapters and given a description with timestamps.
31 languages, native voices
It writes, speaks and captions 31 languages, from Hindi, Urdu and Spanish to Arabic, Japanese and Thai. Each one is read by a native man or woman rather than an English voice with an accent, and captions are drawn in the language’s own alphabet, Urdu Nastaliq, Hebrew and Thai included. Long YouTube videos too, chapters and all.
Pay once, make unlimited videos
A one-time licence for two computers, against cloud video apps that charge monthly and meter every video in credits.
