Cut Notes 1.0.1 - time-of-day timecode, hold button and more

Cut Notes 1.0.1 was just released onto the iOS App Store. We've received a lot of feedback on the previous version and the changes we've made in 1.0.1 reflect many of your requested features.

Here are some of the biggest changes in this version:

Time-of-Day Timecode

Time-of-Day timecode is now an option in the Project Settings window. This automatically syncs the timecode to the iPad's clock and is very useful in live TV broadcasts.

Hold button

Need more time to find the note key you were looking for? Simply press the Hold button and the timecode display will freeze with the timecode counter still running in the background. Press the button you were looking for and the timecode display will catch up with your NLE to maintain synchronization.

When using the keyboard to type a custom note, Hold will automatically be activated to ensure the note is added at the point you started typing.

Double-tap to Edit

Double-tap a note key to automatically scroll to the keyboard view and add extra information to the note.

Other Changes


  • Shortcuts such as periods and partial timecodes are now accepted in timecode boxes
  • When creating a new project, Cut Notes now remembers the previous settings chosen
  • When setting a project to PAL, start timecode now defaults to 10:00:00:00 for European broadcast compliance
  • Fixed a crash when rotating the app
  • Fixed a bug that could cause entered timecode to be incorrect
  • Fixed an issue with projects being renamed upon saving

Our policy when developing new applications is to target a specific user group or workflow to keep things manageable and then expand that userbase over time. We have a roadmap for the future that includes NLE synchronization, among many other exciting features, and your feedback helps us prioritize this feature list.
