What OpenNolan is
A Mac video editor where the agent does the editing
OpenNolan is a native Mac app for vertical short-form. Below is what that means in practice, depending on what you came looking for.
Most video tools sell you a better timeline. OpenNolan is built on the opposite bet: that the person who needs the video is not the person who should have to cut it. You bring the clips, an AI agent assembles the whole vertical reel, and the timeline is there only for the edits your taste insists on.
It runs natively on macOS, keeps your files on your machine, and uses your own AI provider key — no subscription, no account, and the source is open. The pages below cover the two ways people usually arrive here.
