Review footage. Find the moment.
A local-first video review notebook where every note is pinned to the exact moment it's about.
No subscription. No cloud uploads.
Use them in your workflow
From footage to a clear plan.
Timeline TA gives you the tools to review, analyze and organize your video — all in one place.
Frame-by-frame review
Play back your footage at 0.25× to 4× speed, step frame by frame, and skim by scrubbing. The app keeps its own copy of your videos, so moving or renaming the original won't break anything.
Scenes & markers
Mark important moments, organize them into scenes, and add notes. Use the story arc to track what's been found and what's still missing. Drag, trim and restack your strands with precision.
Timestamped notes
Write notes, link them to markers, scenes and each other. Use #tags, [[double brackets]], and build a connected knowledge graph of your project.
Local transcription
Get accurate, on-device transcription with whisper.cpp. See the current line and word highlighted as the video plays. Click any word to jump to it, or turn a line into a marker.
Running order
Arrange your scenes into a running order with target lengths. Watch the full order as if it were already cut, with speed controls, and lay it out on a visual canvas.
AI-ready exports
Export your project as a full brief — markers, scenes, notes and transcript — for Claude or another AI assistant. Also export as Markdown, JSON or save everything in a single .tta file.
Your footage stays
on your computer.
Timeline TA is local-first. Your videos are kept on your own computer, your notes live in your own storage, and your projects are .tta files you can move or back up anytime. Nothing is uploaded unless you ask for it: choose an AI workflow and it sends only what that one job needs — a single frame and your instructions — never the video.
Everything runs on your computer.
Your footage stays on your computer.
Portable, self-contained project files with your videos, notes and metadata.

Common questions
What operating systems are supported?
Timeline TA runs on Linux today. macOS and Windows versions are on the way.
Is this a one-time purchase?
Yes. You pay once and own your license. No subscription required.
Can I try it before I buy?
Yes. Download it and use everything free for 14 days. Enter your license code whenever you're ready.
Does anything leave my computer?
Not on its own. Your footage, notes and projects stay on your machine. If you use an AI workflow — generating or improving a shot — Timeline TA sends only what that job needs: one frame and the instructions you wrote. It asks first, every time, and the frame is deleted as soon as the job is done.
Do I need a Claude or Higgsfield account?
No. Timeline TA is complete without either: review, mark, transcribe, plan and export are all yours already. The two are there for the work they do — an assistant that reads your markers, and a generator that makes a shot you are missing — and each is only used when you set it up and ask.
How does Claude see my project?
Through a connector Timeline TA runs on your own machine. It hands over what you wrote — markers, notes, the running order, the transcript — and never the video. It is off until you install it, and it only answers a tool on the same computer.
What exactly does Higgsfield get?
One frame, and the words you wrote for that shot. Timeline TA cuts the frame out on your machine, sends only that, and deletes it as soon as the shot is made. The video itself never goes anywhere, and the app tells you what it is about to send before it sends it.
Can I use my own videos?
Yes. You can import and work with your own video files. The app keeps a local copy on your computer.
What about updates?
Your purchase includes all updates to the current major version. Future major versions can be purchased separately.
