Creator™ – teaching creators how to tell great stories. Get answers to the most common questions. Download now to start creating! If you can't find what you're looking for, reach out to our support team.
Creator™ is an iOS app that teaches communication by guiding users to tell great stories. Built with advanced AI technology, Creator guides you through a unique creative process, helping you develop authentic, engaging, and original short-form video content effortlessly. Unlike apps that provide generic templates, Creator asks intuitive questions that guide you to form your own creative scripts and visual shot ideas for you to shoot.
Creator™ was built by a small, passionate team of creators, artists, designers, and engineers who understand the creative process firsthand. We're a boutique studio—not backed by any large corporation or venture capital.
Our ethos and design decisions aren't driven by monetization. We charge a minimal fee only to help cover AI costs and support future development. We built Creator because we find joy in the act of creation—not in chasing profits.
When you subscribe, you're supporting our mission to keep Creator™ authentic, independent, and free from corporate influence. We believe great tools should enhance human creativity—not replace it—and that philosophy guides everything we build.
Creator™ is perfect for:
Whether you're just starting out or are an experienced creator, our app offers tools that adapt to your skill level and creative needs.
Creator does not have cheesy templates, crappy effects to mask bad storytelling, fake AI avatars that look like sock puppets, silly kid effects, or stock images and videos. Creator is not another video editor and does not use AI images and videos to replace the creator - only to augment your authentic voice.
We intentionally left these out because videos perform better when these elements are added directly on the platform where you're publishing. Here's why:
Our focus is on teaching creators how to tell great stories. We believe that strong storytelling is the foundation of engaging content, and platform-specific features should enhance, not replace, compelling narratives.
Creator™ is exclusively available as an iOS app because we believe creators should be able to film and edit on the same device - their phone. Since most creators capture content on their mobile devices, it makes sense to complete the entire creative process there too.
Why mobile-only? There are plenty of excellent desktop video editing apps to choose from, but our goal is to make a better mobile experience. We focus on creating the best possible iOS app rather than spreading resources across multiple platforms.
Desktop version plans? No, we have no plans for a desktop version. We believe the future of content creation is mobile, and iOS already provides vast sharing solutions including AirDrop, iCloud, Google Drive, and Dropbox for transferring content between devices when needed.
Our content export formats are optimized for all major social media platforms and short-form video apps.
To create an account, download the Creator™ app from the App Store, then tap "Sign Up" on the welcome screen. We use phone number authentication for a secure and streamlined signup process. After verifying your phone number, you'll be able to start creating authentic, engaging content right away using our AI-guided creative process.
Yes, your Creator™ account can be accessed from multiple iOS devices. Simply sign in with the same credentials on each device. However, your video content and media files are stored locally on each device, so while you can access your scripts and project structure on any device, your actual video content will only be available on the device where it was created.
Since Creator™ uses phone number authentication, you can easily log back in using your phone number. If you've changed your phone number or no longer have access to it, please contact our support team for assistance in recovering your account.
Creator™ is designed with powerful features available now:
Yes, Creator™ blends user-guided creativity with AI-powered tools to help you script, plan, and produce standout social videos in minutes. Unlike AI tools that take over the creative process, Creator asks intuitive, smart questions that guide you to form your own creative ideas.
Our AI assists by:
All AI features are designed to enhance your authentic voice, not replace it. You maintain full creative control throughout the process, with AI serving as your creative assistant.
Video Length Planning: When you select a video length in Creator's chat (15, 30, 60, or 90 seconds), the AI automatically creates the appropriate number of scenes for your requested length, assuming each scene will be approximately 3-5 seconds. The longer the video, the more scenes Creator makes.
Maximum Limits:
Social Media Best Practices: Most social media content performs best under 90 seconds total length, with an optimal target of 30-45 seconds for maximum engagement.
Is there a total video length limit? No theoretically, you could have many 90-second scenes that combine into a very long final video, but you'd be limited by your device's storage, memory, and processing capabilities rather than a hard-coded duration limit in the app. If you want to create longer videos, we suggest doing multiple shorter episodes and combining them outside the app for a continuous long video.
Video creation limits are based on storage, not monthly quotas. With the Standard Plan, you can store up to 20 videos at any given time. To create more videos, either remove old episodes or upgrade to the Unlimited Plan which allows unlimited stored episodes. There are no monthly creation or export limits on either plan.
If Creator™ speaks to you and you're excited to share it, we'd love to hear from you. We sometimes offer free access to creators who want to be part of our community—people who care deeply about creativity and want to help shape the future of the app.

We exclusively accept Apple Pay for all subscriptions. Payments are processed securely through Apple's payment system. Subscription payments are automatically renewed unless you cancel before the billing date.
Yes, you can cancel your subscription at any time through your Apple App Store settings. After cancellation, you'll continue to have access to premium features until the end of your current billing period. We do not provide refunds for partial subscription periods, but you can continue using the service for the remainder of your paid term.
Creator™ requires iOS 17 or later and is optimized for iPhone devices. The app performs best on iPhone X and later models, especially for video processing features. We recommend at least 4GB of free storage space for the app and your projects. As Creator is exclusively an iOS app, it's been specifically designed to take advantage of Apple's hardware and software capabilities for the best possible creative experience.
Local Storage: All your video content, photos, and media files are stored locally on your device - not in the cloud. This means your content is private and secure, but it also means it's only available on the specific device where you created it.
What's at risk: Your video content can be permanently lost if:
What's protected: Your scripts and project metadata are stored securely in our cloud database, so these will be available when you sign in on any device.
Recommendation: Always export and save your finished videos to your Photos app or cloud storage before deleting projects or the app.
We take data security seriously. Your video content and media files are stored locally on your device using iOS's built-in security features for data protection. Only your scripts and project metadata are stored securely in our Firebase database with encryption. We do not share your personal information or content with third parties without your consent. For more details, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
Video Formats: Creator™ supports MP4 and MOV video formats. Creator is optimized for 9:16 vertical videos for social media platforms. While you can upload 16:9 videos, they will be formatted to 9:16 with black bars above and below the content. When recording within the app, you can only capture in 9:16 format - rotating your phone sideways will create a sideways 9:16 video, not true 16:9 landscape.
Image Formats: Creator™ supports standard image formats including JPEG, JPG, PNG, HEIC, and other common photo formats. All uploaded images are automatically converted to videos for use in your projects.
Image Handling: Similar to videos, images follow 9:16 formatting rules:
