About Kiju
Kiju is a macOS application for creators, producers, and small studios developing vertical dramas, episodic series, and short films. It guides projects from an idea or script through episode planning, character casting, storyboard creation, voice generation, video-shot production, and editing. Users can direct the creative steps, choose among generative video models, and assemble shots into an episode for social-video publishing. The workflow keeps production decisions with the creator and shows a take’s cost before generation. Model use runs through the user’s OpenRouter account and is billed at provider rates, separately from Kiju’s subscription. The application runs on Apple-silicon Macs with macOS 13 or later and supports English and French. It is aimed at independent creators, producers, and small production teams making short-form narrative video.
