# Lappaa

> One-take audio and video tool for iOS and iPadOS. Record or import, modify
> in the editor or apply a saved template, trim the ends, export a
> platform-ready captioned video. Under a minute from capture to share.
> On-device transcription, animated visualisers, AI backgrounds — no cloud,
> no account, no editing skills needed. Built for anyone who wants to
> communicate with voice or video but doesn't want to become a video editor.

## What It's Not

Lappaa is not a multi-clip editor. No timeline, no cuts, no multi-track
audio. For single takes. CapCut and Instagram Edits are for editing footage.
Loom is for screen recording. Lappaa is for saying it once and having it
look intentional.

## Key Differentiators

- **One-take workflow:** Record or import, modify in the editor, trim, export. Or save a template and skip the editor entirely. Under a minute either way.
- **On-device everything:** Transcription, AI backgrounds, audio mastering — nothing leaves the phone. No cloud, no account, works in airplane mode.
- **Social-ready export:** 9:16 (Stories/TikTok), 1:1 (Feed), 16:9 (YouTube) with auto-reflow. LUFS loudness normalisation for social algorithms.
- **30+ animated visualisers:** Including sprite characters. All react to the audio.
