Skip the rushes. Keep the moments.

You pressed the button when it happened. QuiX finds those clips and keeps them apart, while it imports the rest of your session. Nothing to click.

How it works

Film. Press. Plug in.

01You press the button while filming
02Back home, you plug in
03You open the Highlights folder

Something good happens — a jump, a wave, a turn. A short press on the button on the side of your GoPro, and the moment is marked.

The camera over USB-C, switched on. Or the memory card in a reader. QuiX starts on its own.

Your whole session is there, and the moments you marked are already waiting in their own folder.

No video is copied at this stage.

The end of an import: three marked takes, already waiting in Highlights.

The GoPro button

One press. One highlight.

While your GoPro is recording, give a short press to the button on its side — the one you use to switch it on. The camera keeps filming and writes the moment inside the video file. You can also just say “GoPro, HighLight”, hands free.

It only works for presses made while filming. Highlights added afterwards in the Quik phone app stay in the app, and QuiX cannot see them.

Shutter starts and stops recording Power / Mode short press while filming = HighLight REC 00:21 GoPro Your clip

It starts by itself

Plug in and the import is already running. No window to find, no folder to choose again.

Nothing gets lost

Every clip is checked after copying. If something went wrong, QuiX tells you instead of pretending it worked.

Your card is never wiped behind your back

QuiX only empties it when you press the button — and only once every clip is safely on your Mac.

Free, for good

No price, no trial, no subscription, no ads. Download it and it is yours.

QuiX sorts your GoPro highlights
Plug the camera in over USB-C and switch it on, or put the card into a reader. QuiX reads the tags you pressed while filming and files each take in Highlights or Clips. It never modifies the card.
No waiting
Sorting reads 34 KB per clip, not the whole file.
Verified
Every copy is checksummed, then read back from disk.
Never erases
The card is only emptied by a button you press.

What QuiX does

Your GoPro over USB-C, or its card in a reader. Your footage is never modified.

QuiX
Where should the clips go?
QuiX creates one dated folder per import, with Highlights and Clips inside it. Pick somewhere you already keep footage — QuiX will not invent a folder for you.

Where your clips go

Pick the folder you already use. Each import gets its own dated folder, with Highlights and Clips inside.

QuiX
Two permissions macOS will ask for
Neither is optional, and both fail the same misleading way — QuiX sees the hardware and finds nothing on it.
Local Network
Over USB-C the GoPro is a network device. macOS asks the first time QuiX talks to it; if you refuse, the camera looks empty.
Removable Volumes
For a card in a reader. macOS asks on the first card; without it, the card looks empty.
Notifications
So you know when an import is done and the camera can be unplugged.

Say yes to your Mac

Once for the camera, once for the card reader. That is the whole setup.

Check on it without stopping what you're doing.

QuiX sits in the menu bar. One click tells you where the import is, and what it found. Go make a coffee.
