Audio & video tools
Turbo Ventura builds audio and video tools for iPhone and iPad. We compile our own media engine rather than renting someone else’s, keep files where their owner put them, and stay with an app long after the release note.

Turn any video or audio file into the format you actually need, then trim, merge, boost or set it as a ringtone. Everything runs on the device, with no account and no upload.

The same build sits under everything we ship: what it reads set in plain type, what it writes in the accent.
01
Our apps run on an FFmpeg build we make from source — LGPL-clean, with only the codecs we actually ship enabled. It is more work than linking somebody else’s binary, and it is why a file that fails everywhere else usually opens here.
02
If what is inside a file can be copied out untouched, we copy it instead of re-encoding it. The result is the original bits rather than a copy of a copy, and it finishes in seconds. Most tools re-encode everything, because that is the easy path.
03
Conversion, editing and playback run locally. There is no upload step, no account to create, and nothing of yours waiting in a queue on a machine we own. Switch the network off and the app still works.
04
SwiftUI, drawn for iPhone and iPad and for the current version of iOS: Dynamic Type, VoiceOver, reduced motion, the share sheet, the lock screen, widgets. The system already decided how these work.
05
The free tier does real work. What a purchase removes is quantity and convenience — never the feature the app is named after, and never with a countdown to force the decision.
06
An app is not finished at release. Ours get format fixes, iOS updates and the small repairs nobody writes a changelog line about, for as long as people are using them.

We take on a small number of partnerships a year: publishing an app that deserves a better home, or building one with a team that needs the hard media parts done properly. Press and store enquiries reach the same inbox.
