“World’s fastest” is the ambition, not a verified ranking. Speed depends on your Mac, voice, connection and AI service response.
What we checked
On October 6, 2026, we reviewed seven completed Instant-mode runs saved by the app. Their opening-playable times ranged from 4.1 to 14.3 seconds, and full-film readiness from 18.6 to 28.8 seconds.
These are local development records, not an independent benchmark. Six used an optional ElevenLabs voice. The one using the included Kokoro voice became playable in 14.3 seconds. “Playable” means the opening is ready, not that the whole film is complete.
The supplied demo separately shows starts at 4.3, 5.9 and 6.7 seconds. The app can pause and resume if watching catches up with creation. We have not verified a guarantee of uninterrupted playback or identical results on other machines.
