A subtitle studio for macOS Runs entirely on your Mac One-time purchase
suubbs is a Mac app that writes your subtitles. Drop in a clip and it transcribes every word, times it to the moment it is spoken, and lets you style and export it. Your video is never uploaded to the cloud or to our servers — it stays completely on your Mac.
One-time purchase. No account, no uploads, no per-minute fees — your footage never leaves the machine.
Three panels and nothing else: your video on the left, your lines in the middle, your styling on the right. The same studio runs in your browser and in the Mac app — the app just has no limits on it.
Or you could just press Generate.
Video editors treat subtitles as a checkbox. suubbs treats them as the product — so every tool you need is one click away, and nothing you don't need is anywhere.
Hit Generate and the whole transcript appears, every word timed to within a few milliseconds of when it's said. No typing, no scrubbing.
What you see is what burns in. Every tweak — size, color, position — renders on the video as you make it.
Not just "this line, roughly here" — every individual word carries its own timestamp, so highlighting lands on the beat.
Import what you already have. Export standards-perfect subtitles — including styled ASS, ready to burn in with ffmpeg.
The speech model runs on your own hardware. No uploads, no processing queue, no fine print about training data.
Caption a ten-second clip or a three-hour podcast. It costs the same, because there's no meter and nobody's server to pay for.
Six looks tuned on real footage — social, film, broadcast. Pick one, tweak it live, make it yours.
Add a pinch of drama.
SEND IT.
…so that's when everything changed.
Subtitles are the difference between watched and skipped. Most tools treat them as an afterthought buried in a submenu. We built the entire product around them.
Word-level timing means the highlight lands with the sound, not a moment after it. This is what comes out the other end.
Okay, roll the clip.
MP4, MOV, or WebM — straight into the player. It never leaves your machine.
The transcript writes itself, word by word, timed to the audio. Fix a name, merge a line, move on.
Pick a preset, tune it live on the footage, export SRT or VTT. Done means done.
Unlimited videos, unlimited captions, one payment. No subscription, no credits, and no counting the minutes.
