My app · Video editor for Android
Flight mode on. Film done.
Nolivi turns your photos and videos into a story: trim, add text, music, filters and transitions. Editing and exporting work without the internet, because the app has no internet permission.
How it works
How Nolivi works
Four steps, all on your phone. Tap a picture to watch the real screen recording (German interface, no sound).
Pick photos and videos
Tap what belongs in the story in the Android picker. Nolivi only sees those files.
Arrange
Drag, sort by capture date or move a moment to the start. Deleted items stay in the trash for 30 days.
Style
Write a caption, apply one filter to all moments, trim a video. Undo up to 25 steps.
Export
Watch the preview, choose the quality, create the video. The export keeps running when you leave the app. Your originals stay unchanged.
Recorded on 19 Oct 2026 on a Samsung Galaxy A32 in flight mode. Sample photos and videos are in the public domain (CC0 / Public Domain).

Edited on your phone
Your photos and videos are edited and exported on the device. We never see them.
No account, no cloud, no tracking
You don't sign up anywhere. No analytics, no advertising ID, no crash reports sent to us.
Your phone only needs the internet to install, update and buy through Google Play. If you save a backup to a cloud folder, that service uploads the file under its own rules.

Questions
Frequently asked
Does Nolivi need the internet?
No, not for recording, editing, exporting or compressing. Nolivi has no internet permission at all. Installing, updating and buying through Google Play need an internet connection on your phone.
Where do my finished videos go?
To your gallery. Projects and clips stay inside the app on your phone.
How do I move my projects to a new phone?
Create a backup in Nolivi's settings. It is a ZIP file you save wherever you like and import on the new phone.
Which languages does Nolivi speak?
German, English, French, Spanish, Russian, Japanese, Korean and Turkish. You can choose the language in the app, independent of your phone.
Status
Android, in 8 languages. Nolivi is currently in closed testing on Google Play. The public launch is planned for May 2027 at the earliest.
I develop Nolivi with AI: the AI writes code and automated tests, I set the direction, approve every step and check every version on real devices.
