Before you download

  • This beta installer is unsigned. Keep Windows Security enabled and install only from the official release link.
  • FFmpeg, FFprobe, Python runtime, and faster-whisper are included. Ollama is optional.
  • Your selected speech model downloads on first transcription and may use time and disk space.
  • AI captions need review. Captioned exports are re-encoded, not lossless.
  • The beta has not received an independent security audit or full clean-PC test.

By using the desktop app, you accept the Terms. Read the Privacy notice before contacting WickWorks.

SUPPORT THE FREE BETA

free and local.

onlysubs does not sell your footage, run in-app ads, or lock the core editor behind a subscription. Future support will fund testing, code signing, and maintenance—not data collection.

Ethical ways we may sustain it

  • Optional paid services later, such as caption-template design, onboarding, or custom brand presets.
  • No video, transcript, or editing data is shared with a sponsor or partner.
