What is it?

Palmier Pro is a video editor for macOS, written in Swift, that places AI generation inside the timeline. Users can generate videos and images with models such as Seedance, Kling and Nano Banana Pro without leaving the editor.

The app runs a local MCP server on port 19789 while it is open. Clients such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and Claude Desktop can connect to it and create or modify clips on the same project as the in-app agent.

The project requires macOS 26 (Tahoe) on Apple Silicon. Source code is published only up to v0.7.6 and the `last-gpl-source` tag under GPLv3; later binary releases are proprietary and their source is not released.
