A Mac and Windows desktop tool that turns a YouTube link or local video into captioned Shorts and a ready-to-post copy pack.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-02 issue.

Field notes

The described workflow starts with a YouTube URL or local file, then moves through on-device listening, transcription, cutting, captioning, ranking, and export. The output is more than video: the page lists MP4, SRT, transcript, title, hook, caption, hashtags, pinned comment, and YouTube tags. It also offers split, full 9:16, and square 1:1 layouts, while stating that users supply their own OpenAI key and retain the source footage locally.
