Brief, review, and approve every cut from your phone
Built for creators with 1–4 editors and a weekly upload schedule. Stop scrubbing rough cuts in the YouTube app and writing '0:48 cut tighter' in a note app you'll lose tomorrow.

Sound familiar?
Editor sends a Drive link in DMs; you scrub on your phone, write feedback in Notes, and forget to send it back until they ask three days later
You have v3, v3-final, v3-actually-final, and v3-with-the-thumbnail-change — and no one knows which is the one going up Tuesday
You hired a 2nd editor and your weekly schedule got slower, not faster, because half your time is re-explaining feedback
You're 2 weeks late on this month's brand-deal video because feedback bounced back four times for the same fix
When you go on vacation, the channel goes silent because no one else can answer 'is this approved?'
Before / after, in your typical week
Three concrete moments where Timeliner replaces a hack you’ve normalized.
Before
Editor DMs you a Drive link; you scrub on the YouTube app and write '0:48 cut tighter' in a note
With Timeliner
Editor uploads to Timeliner; you tap the timestamp on your phone and leave a voice note
Before
Editor doesn't know if your last 3 messages are nice-to-have or blockers
With Timeliner
Each comment is a discrete action; tasks move from In Revision → Approved in one tap
Before
Hire a 2nd editor and lose 2 hours/week onboarding them to your folder system
With Timeliner
New editor sees their assigned cuts, due dates, and feedback history on day one
How Timeliner helps
Phone-first review
Tap the timestamp, leave a voice note or text comment. Editor sees it on the timeline. Works on the train, on the couch, on the way to a shoot.
One status per video
To Do → In Progress → In Revision → Approved → Posted. Your editor opens Timeliner and instantly knows what to work on. No more 'what should I do today?' DMs.
Editor assignment + due dates
Assign each cut to a specific editor with a deadline. Hire your 2nd or 3rd editor without quadrupling your management time.
Approve in one tap, publish that night
When the cut is right, hit Approve. Editor gets a push notification, exports the master, and you're publishing — same day.
Recommended plan
Pro$79/moPro at $79/mo (3 seats — you + 2 editors) covers most channels. Scale to Elite ($129/mo for 5 seats) when you bring on a thumbnail designer, a script writer, or a 3rd editor — without re-platforming.
See full pricing breakdown“I tried to scale from 2 editors to 4 last year and burned out trying to manage it in DMs. With Timeliner I run a 4-editor team from my phone in 20 minutes a day. We haven't missed a Tuesday upload in 6 months.”
